Pet care experience

I’ll treat your pets like my own!

I grew up with many pets in the house and have been caring for them all my life. Throughout this time, we’ve had dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and ages, including some with health issues that required special care. I’ve also been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends for years, and have also volunteered at local shelters and humane societies. Since moving to New York, I haven’t been able to get a dog of my own, so I’d love the opportunity to spend time with yours, and I promise to care for them like my own!

We had a great experience! This was Baker and Emmett’s first time staying with Samantha, and she made us feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. She even sent us a picture after their first night, which we really appreciated. Our train was delayed on the way home and we ended up being about an hour late for pickup, and she was incredibly understanding and flexible with us. Baker and Emmett were well taken care of, and we would definitely book with Samantha again!

We have left our pup with Samantha multiple times and he always has a good time with her while we are away. She is a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. Highly recommend leaving your pup with her.

Thanks Samantha! My dog Peaches has stayed with Samantha several times now. This time my flight got canceled and she was very accommodating in keeping Peaches one more night.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a clean and safe environment for pets. My building has a large, fully enclosed, grass backyard / courtyard area where I can take them out to play. I also live close to Central Park for walks, and there is a dog park nearby if that’s something your pup enjoys!

A typical day

My building has a large, fully enclosed grass backyard area where your dog can run around off leash, chase the ball, or play whatever games they like! I also live very close to Central Park if long walks are more their speed. There’s also a dog park nearby for socializing, if that’s something you’re looking for. I will do whatever works best for your pet!
