Pet care experience

I'll be your dog's favorite Aunt!

I can't resist greeting any pup I pass! I grew up with dogs and one of my greatest joys is being dog mom to my hound, Fletcher. We've never met a walk we didn't love, and we all know that my couch is his couch ;) I am a gold-medal level belly scratcher and have accepted that all my clothes will be adorned with pet hair- that's the price of entry for all the cuddles! I have taken care of sick dogs before and managed medication schedules. I've also worked with dogs with limited mobility (both due to injury/recovery and illness).

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog mom to an inquisitive hound, I know how important it is to keep things put away if I don't want him getting into them. I'm also very vigilant on walks since he can sniff out all the things he shouldn't have from a mile away! Your fur baby will also be carefully watched to make sure they're having the safest fun time possible.

Samantha is the best! My dogs love her and she does an amazing job with them and their craziness. She is always communicative, very trustworthy, and was a HUGE help when our flight got cancelled and we needed some extra support until we got home.

Sam did an incredible job with Tiberius! She spent a lot of quality time playing ball with him in our backyard which is his favorite thing in the world! She kept in contact and sent us photos that made us certain that he was well cared for. We 100% recommend Sam!!

Samantha was fantastic! She was very communicative and patient with our 3 dogs. One of them was having some tummy issues while we were away and she was keeping us updated on everything! They loved her!

Sam was truly a lifesaver while we were away. She took incredible care of our dogs and our cat, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving, responsible hands. She went above and beyond—keeping our home clean, handling deliveries, and making sure everything ran smoothly while we were gone. We came home to happy pets, a tidy house, and zero stress, which says everything about the level of care Sam provides. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves what she does. We couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely be using her again in the future. 🐾💛

Schedule

I do work 'normal business hours', so I am not home during the day- but I can offer morning, after work and bedtime walks. *I cannot do midday walks.* Your pets will also get snuggles before work, and playtime after work. After we've played ourselves out, we'll lay around and get all the belly scritches we could ever want! We'll hit the great outdoors right before bed, where your pup is welcome to join me. Weekends mean longer walks, usually around the lake near my house. That means we get to sniff ALL the things and encounter turtles and ducks (from a safe distance!) before we go back inside for a treat.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Samantha can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pup has any special needs or quirks (are they counter surfers? do they need to stay on a blanket if they're on the couch? etc) and any temperament things that will help me give them the best individual care!
