Safety, trust & environment

I make safety a priority in your home and when getting exercise. I will take care with the food they eat, how they are walked, and during play time. I am currently working on earning my K9 Wilderness Emergency First Aid certification.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any history of aggression— toward other dogs or humans. While I can typically work with the dog and owner to make it a safe walking or sitting experience, it’s important for me to be aware of their social skill— especially given many owners walk their dogs off-leash in Telluride. Thanks!

A typical day

Going on walks, hikes, play time indoors or in the yard, and giving your pups some love are typical daily activities. If your dog loves to swim, I’m happy to take them to the river. We can discuss off-leash privileges if you would like me to take your pup for a trail run.

Pet care experience

As a local professional dog walker and pet sitter in Telluride, I would love to care for your pups while you are in town. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and care deeply about their happiness and comfort. As a competitive endurance athlete, I can match your pups energy needs. Whether it’s a spirited walk through town or a trail adventure in the high country, I will make sure every dog gets the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including senior dogs and puppies, and I am currently working on earning my K9 Wilderness Emergency First Aid certification. I look forward to meeting you and your pups!

She took great care of my cat Plum, spending quality time with her during her visit which was important to me since she is an only cat.

Sam did an outstanding job dog sitting for us! Sam was trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely cared about our dogs. Sam kept us updated with messages which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitting!
