Spreading love, one wag at a time ♥

Pet care experience

Since my earliest memories, dogs have held a special place in my heart. Caring for them is a deep passion of mine, and I understand how challenging it can be to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I pour my heart into providing exceptional care, treating each dog as if they were my own. My goal is to make your furbaby feel at home and ease any worries you may have. With years of experience and a natural instinct for care, I’m dedicated to ensuring your dog’s happiness and well-being.

Awesome sitter! Very attentive and punctual, you can tell how much she loves dogs! I didn’t worry for a moment about my pup while i was away. Would 1000% recommend and will definitely be contacting her again!

I had a great experience with Samantha! She took great care of my Lola and Willow while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter

Samantha is my loving, caring and nurturing daughter-in-law and has been a wonderful addition to our family for the past 11+ years. The love and care that Samantha showered our family also included so much love, patience, attention and time to our family dog Layla. Layla was a beautiful Husky that we all had the pleasure of loving for close to 15 years before her rainbow bridge crossing in October 2023. Samantha always loved Layla and Layla simply adored Samantha’s love and attention. They had a strong bond and it was built by love and adoration for each other. The passing of Layla was so hard for all of us, especially my son Jake and Samantha, and myself and unbeknownst to us, Samantha took it upon herself to record videos of Layla to compile and forward to us as the most beautiful memories of our Layla! The most precious gift ever. That alone shows the love, kindness, patience and empathy that is Samantha.

We have been with Samantha for a couple of years now. She is super attentive and gentle and caring. My pup always has a joyful experience with her around and feels welcome in her home. I recommend Samantha to any and everyone who would appreciate an attentive dog caregiver with a nurturing touch.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

Getting to Know Your Pet: 1. Personality & Behavior: Tell me about your pet’s personality. Are they more serious or playful? Do they have any fears, need extra attention, or have specific behavior traits I should know about? How does your dog interact with other animals? Are they social or prefer to keep to themselves? 2. Special Needs: Does your dog have a special diet or any past injuries that require attention? How does your dog react to traffic, loud noises, or anything else out of the ordinary? 3. Daily Care Routine: Schedule: What is your dog’s daily routine? (Eating, potty breaks, naps) How do they typically communicate when they need something? 4. Feeding & Hydration: What does their meal routine look like? Are there specific treats or special foods they need? Are they picky eaters or do they gobble everything up? How much water do they usually drink throughout the day? 5. Bathroom Breaks: When and where do they usually go potty? Are there any specific signals they give when they need to go out? 6. Outdoor Adventures: What should I know about taking your dog for a walk? How do they behave around other dogs? Are they playful or more reserved? Overnight Stays: Meet & Greet: Before your dog’s overnight stay, let’s do a meet and greet to go over important details like: Are they house trained, or prone to accidents? Are there any specific things I should look out for? What activities or comforts do they love the most? Vet & Wellness Instructions: Are there any instructions from your vet or specific wellness routines I should follow to keep your dog healthy and happy while you’re away?

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your dog happy, active, and engaged. We’ll start with a brisk morning walk to get their energy flowing, followed by some fun games that challenge them mentally and physically. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a puzzle toy, or just exploring the neighborhood, your dog will have plenty to keep them entertained. We’ll take time to relax too—maybe enjoy a dog-friendly movie or just cuddle up with some belly rubs. And if there’s a nearby park, you can bet we’ll be there, soaking up the fresh air and all the new scents!

After leaving my corporate marketing position due to severe burnout, I’m now at a point in my life where I’m exploring what truly makes me happy and finding passion in new projects. I’ve transitioned to remote work, giving me the flexibility to take on side jobs like Rover, where I can connect with amazing dogs. Whether it’s early morning or late afternoon, I’m here to accommodate your needs, understanding that not all trips are planned.**shoot me a message with more questions regarding my availability!** I’m active and can easily fit your dog’s routine into my own, ensuring they get the care and attention they deserve. Although my fiancé and I don’t currently have a dog after the recent passing of our beloved Layla, we hope to welcome another fur baby into our lives around the holidays. Dog sitting is a win-win for me—I get to enjoy the company of wonderful dogs, and you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands!
