I volunteered at the SPCA for 7 yrs

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Samantha and I absolutely love dogs. I have volunteered at the SPCA and cared for my friends and professors dogs throughout my time at JMU. I just graduated and have my Master’s degree in Education, double duke baby!!! I will be a kindergarten teacher this upcoming year in Culpeper, VA. I am hardworking, flexible, and always willing to compromise. I am a people (and dog) person that wants to help and give back to the community. I enjoy being with dogs and taking care of them to the best of my ability. I have never had a dog growing up, but made it my job to work closely with all types of animals especially dogs. I really do enjoy being around them and giving dogs the care they deserve.

Samantha did great with our pups. This was our first experience with a dog walker and were a little concerned how our new rescue would do, but everyone did fine and they got the break they needed during a long day. Thanks!

Sam is one of the most loving people I know! I had the pleasure of being her roommate and seeing her reach out to our neighbors offering dog walks, dog sitting, and even taking dogs out to sporting events. She is a responsible, caring individual that enjoys being around dogs. She will do great dog sitting.

Sam is the best of the best! So loving and responsible! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my fur baby!!! You will not be disappointed with Samantha!

My wife and I have known Samantha for the last couple of years and I can say without a doubt she is a person that we would trust with our own new puppy. Samantha is extremely responsible and trustworthy, and both my wife and I would recommend her to anyone if we knew that she would be the right fit for the job. Samantha just completed a Masters degree, so that should also let you know how committed she is too working hard!

A typical day

I will go on walks in my apartment complex, parks around Harrisonburg, and even hikes if it is allowed. I will play ball, fetch, and run around with the dog to make sure he/she fully gets the exercise they need.
