Loving & Caring
Pet care experience
I have taken care of pets ranging from ferrets to cats and dogs. I’ve done overnights at friends and family’s homes and have hosted dogs and cats for a few days to a couple weeks. I currently foster dogs through East Coast Canine Rescue. I’ve fostered 9 week old puppies and adult dogs up to 45 lbs. I’m currently still fostering my fourth pup who is an adorable heeler mix up for adoption! (Update—I adopted her!) I can work with your dog on leash training and other manners on our walks. I use positive reinforcement and strong communication skills to make for a fun and relaxing walk or playtime for your dog. I also love cats and would be happy to take care of your cat as well! I am a high school math teacher and am home off and on during the weekend and summer and almost every week day after 3 pm during the school year. I am open to caring for dogs with all types of needs and am very active. I pretty much love dogs more than humans and can’t wait to meet your furry friends!
Reviews
As a first time Rover client, I could not have been more please with Samantha! She was absolutely fantastic with my cat, respectful, and sent me so many great pics and updates to reassure me my kitty was doing well during my absence. I'll be reaching our to Samantha next time I leave town. Thank You Samantha for your wonderful and loving care!
Sam is amazing with both of my dogs and they absolutely love her! One of my pups is high anxiety and she is so patient with him. She is extremely trustworthy and reliable and I know my dogs are in great hands when she is watching or walking them.
I have known Sam for 3 years, and she is so awesome with my two dogs (dachshund and lab mix). My dogs are always so excited to see her. She is great at keeping control of both of them on walks. I highly recommend her.
Samantha has been fostering dogs with loving devotion and responsibility. She has cared for and nurtured her own pets for years, even lovingly cared for ailing senior pets. She is a wonderful and dedicated high school teacher and Loves all animals. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.

I have a two year old dog, Pria, who I leash walk 2 times a day and play with in the yard using an e-collar. I also attend the dog park to help socialize her. She is very friendly and I am also happy to socialize your dog with Pria as well and train them to leash walk together if interested!

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is aggressive in any way or has any transferable illnesses or medical needs. Spayed or neutered is preferred, however my dog is spayed so it is not a requirement.
A typical day
I am a very active person and love to take walks with my dog. As I said I leash walk my own dog 2 times a day and am happy to take your dog for long walks, hikes, runs, or whatever you’d prefer. I also love play time and can tug of war or play fetch in the yard too.
