Loving, caring, active, & attentive

Pet care experience

I have lived with and cared for dogs since I was a kid and care for my mom’s dog currently when she needs it. I have also taken care of older dogs and dogs with special needs such as blindness or diabetes. I love animals and also love how they motivate me to be out and moving! I currently work as a school psychologist intern Mondays through Fridays. This means I am out of the house from about 7:00am-5:00pm these days. This schedule is a bit more accommodating to older pups who don't need to be let out as often. However, if it works for your schedule and your fur babies than I am happy to help! I am happy to house other pets as we have a three bedroom townhouse and a fenced in backyard. I also live just under a mile from the beach, so we have plenty of space to explore. I am always a thoughtful care taker of others homes and pets when I am house/dog sitting. I love going on walks and hikes, so your dogs will be burning plenty of energy and receiving nothing but love!

Sam is a very friendly and attentive sitter. She took care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation and we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. She provided detailed pictures after completing the check-ins which made us feel reassured that our cats were doing well while we were gone. We will certainly rebook with Sam for any future cat sitting needs! :)

Sam was super communicative and reliable! We loved all the pics she sent. Will definitely try to use Sam again if we’re out of town.

Samantha was amazing! She was more than willing to watch my dog for me very last minute. She frequently sent pictures of my dog and gave updates. My dog had such a great time I’m sure she didn’t want to leave. I hope she’s available the next time I need to leave town. If there were ten stars available I’d give her 10/10 for sure!

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet

I would just love to know if there are any special needs for your pup. My mom’s dog currently has diabetes and receives an insulin shot every morning and evening. When I dog sit I administer those shots with ease. I am always happy to accommodate a dog‘s needs and make sure they are taken care of and staying healthy. I would also love to know if there is anything that makes your pup fearful or aggressive to make sure I can take care of those needs preventatively.

A typical day

Podcasts and audiobooks are two of my best friends, so I thoroughly value my walks- especially when accompanied by a cute doggo! Hiking is another one of my favorites. Castlewood Canyon and Larkspur are two of my favorite destinations near Castle Rock.

I do currently work a full time job, but I will always get up extra early to spend time with the pups and come straight home to go for a nice long walk.
