Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

Important to know if your dog does well with other dogs, if they’re startled by certain noises, animals, objects. If they eat or look for scraps/trash. Energy level & anything that comes to mind to make their stay away from you as easy and comfortable as possible.

A typical day

New York City is a fun place to explore. Whether it may be a dog park or a scenic area. I don't mind taking the dog to explore or on a specific route inwhich the owner prefers.

Loving & caring lifelong dog owner!

Pet care experience

I'm 31 years old and have lived in NYC my whole life. I am an animal lover. I've had all sorts of pet growing up. Therefore I have quite some experience. Very few people understand that a dog is not just a pet but a family member. I know what it takes to care and love a dog. I would be glad to make sure your dog feels at home and safe for the moments you can't. New York City is a beautiful city to explore while going for a walk. Being a previous dog owner myself I know how much attention and care they need to be given. I am comfortable in doing many requirements when it comes to making sure your pup is cared for.

Samantha was great with Trekkie! He took to her and her family really well and was really comfortable. I had regular updates and pictures. I would definitely book again!

Absolutely stellar. She cared for my dog with major anxiety as if she had no quirks at all. The photos were amazing. I’ve used Samantha two Christmases in a row for cats, and it turns out she’s a dog expert too! High, high marks from us :)

We always use Samantha when we're away because she always takes great care of our fur baby, leaves the place clean and always leaves a sweet card for us.
