Highlights
Pet care experience
Everyone needs some puppy love!
I’ve done a lot of dog sitting in Boston and for friends and family over the years, and I genuinely love it. I didn't have pets of my own as a kid, but always loved being around dogs. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs — big, small, high-energy, or total couch potatoes. I stick to their usual routines, make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and just try to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. Lots of updates, lots of love, and happy pups are always the goal. Expect many photos and selfies. I work in a nursing home, and love bring pets along with me to visit the residents if approved by the owner!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Samantha is the kind of person animals instantly feel comfortable around. She’s attentive, responsible, and always goes the extra mile, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or sticking to routines. I’ve seen how thoughtfully she cares for pets, and I’d 100% trust her with mine anytime.
I cannot recommend Samantha Mague enough as a pet sitter. She stayed at my home and took exceptional care of my dog, Hank, and my two cats. She truly went above and beyond — especially when Hank wasn’t feeling well — handling everything with such calm, compassion, and responsibility. Knowing someone is not only caring for your pets but also staying in your home requires a tremendous amount of trust, and Samantha earned that completely. My animals were loved, safe, and so well cared for, and my home was treated with the utmost respect. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and give you total peace of mind, Samantha is absolutely amazing. I would trust her again without hesitation.
Sam has been around animals her entire life and it truly shows in the care she provides. She’s incredibly punctual, dependable, and treats every pet like her own. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a reliable and loving caretaker!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment in Charlestown with a fenced in back yard. Pets are allowed. I live with two family members with a lot of pet experience who also support boarding pets. I am happy to stay in someone's home if needed.

We can visit a local dog park and go for walks around the city or area. I enjoy providing enrichment treat games or fetch/ tug of war.
