Pet care experience

Dog walker extraordinaire!

I have always loved dogs, and have taken care of many over the years. We had our own family rescue, growing up. Then I rescued a couple of kittens in college who were with me and my husband for almost 20 years. They were my loves. When our first brother passed rescue the senior rabbit. We had him for quite a few years to help. Distract our sad brother cat. I I’ve always loved meeting and playing with as many dogs as possible. I nannied for a family years ago and took over puppy training duties to perfect the behavior of my only coworker. I’ve taken care of my mother’s dog and neighbors’ for years just because I want all dogs to always feel loved and get as many adventures as they can! I am responsible and always early for anything. I always have leashes, toys, treats, and dozens of poop bags handy, even though my only pets were cats and rabbits. Someday I’ll have dogs, but right now I’ll just have to borrow them.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with a back door to my house. Tons of toys, dishes for food and water. Leashes. A nice neighborhood to walk in where I know all of the barky yards.

Samantha was wonderful with my dog! She’s a great communicator, kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages, and clearly has such a natural way with animals. She even made and brought homemade dog treats, which my Archie loved! I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and look forward to having a trusted person to check in when needed.

Sam helps take care of my doodles and they absolutely love her! And of course so do I! She takes them for walks, plays fetch and keeps their favorite treats in her car for them. She is always patient and loving; treating them as her own. After years of help, she’s more like a co-parent.

Sam is a wonderful person who takes my dogs for walks almost daily. Knows what their favorite treats are, and just what balls they like to play with. We are very lucky to have her coming by to watch our dogs!

Schedule

I’m currently working full-time, but squeeze in as many dog walks as I can a week. I love to help out owners. We don’t have the time and give their animals some fun adventures and love.

No breed preference at all, but please let me know if your dog hates being petted somewhere or becomes agressive for some reason. I don’t want to stress your baby out.
