Safety, trust & environment

In my clients home I would utilize anything that they have available for pet care including toys, treats, and harnesses. I keep them safe by really listening to their needs whether it be from them or their parents. I’m very good with following direction when it comes to special care guidelines during walks and/or in the home. I have lots of love to give and love to snuggle which I find healing for both me and the pups!

Information Samantha O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and I can adjust in any way fit to make them comfortable. I usually warm up to them fairly quick and vice versa! I would prefer to know if they may be aggressive.

A typical day

I love to play ball and tug-of-war as those are the favorites mostly. We may also decide to snuggle up especially on the cold days and watch tv. I love to be able to make them feel safe and calm! I’m generally open to trying anything that they are interested in.

Pet care experience

The love and attention I can give it unmatched! I absolutely adore dogs and I have one of my own, a Great Pyrenees named Harry! I have experience with overnight sitting and walking as well as have worked with many special needs pups. I will always make sure they are well taken care of as if they were mine!

Samantha was attentive and our dog got along with her so well! Will definitely use in the future and would recommend if you’re looking for a sitter / walker!

Sam was amazing! She helped out last minute to care for Bella and she was so sweet and patient! She was very attentive to all of Bella’s quirks and list I made for Bella. She not only was amazing caring for Bella but after staying in my place she left it just as you found it, which on top of her great care for Bella, was even more amazing! I really appreciate all she did and I felt completely at ease while away for a wedding!

Sam was wonderful! She stepped in to help us for a few weeks while our regular walker was out of town. Sam took the time to come and meet scout beforehand to make sure she understood all of his needs. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating! Scout was in great hands with Sam!

Samantha is great with Mako! She understands her needs and limitations and has always been very patient with her. Mako is dog-reactive and I have always felt comfortable leaving her in Samanthas’ care. Highly recommend!
