Pet care experience

Maybe a dog whisperer?

Hello! My name is Sam and I love dogs of all breeds. After being on rover and boarding dogs for a couple years, I now have a dog of my own that requires her own space. So now I offer dog walking and drop ins! I am experienced with reactive dogs, such as my own, so walks will be stress free. I am always able to adapt to different dogs needs as well. Ive had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I work from home most of the time so I can available throughout the day. Whether your dog just needs some company while youre gone or some exercise, I would be happy to help!

Safety, trust & environment

For drop ins, I am happy to play or give company to your dog or cat in whatever way they want! Since I am meeting them in their home, it is important to make sure they feel comfortable with me. I would never force an interaction if there are signs your pet is uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure they are happy and stress free with a new person in their space.

Highly recommend!!! Sam took great care of dogs. Our dogs came home happy and tired, they loved play time in fenced backyard. We appreciated the pictures we received, it was reassuring and let us stay connected to our dogs. We were so excited to find a sitter that works with 1 client at a time. We were very pleased and would recommend to our family and friends.

Samantha was absolutely incredible! This was my first time using a dog sitter and I was very anxious about it. Samantha quickly calmed my nerves by sending me great updates and pictures. It was a wonderful experience and my dog loved her!

Samantha and Alister are so good with Archie! They ask a lot of questions and followed up with me everyday including pictures! They kept Archie busy because he was worn out when he got home. I will use them again and again!!!!

We left our 2 little dogs with Sam for 9 days. One is on a special diet and a very picky eater and the other is slow to warm up to strangers. They both did great! I got pictures and updates every day. It made a huge difference knowing they were well taken care of while we were gone. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with Sam again the next time we travel.

Sam (and her husband) took great care of our pups! I’ve been very wary about having someone other than close friends watch our dogs because they have trust issues with new people, but they had such a good time and I’m so glad to have found Sam! I highly recommend her and will definitely be going to her in the future!

I'd like to know if the dog is reactive to other dogs or people and whether the reactivity is based on excitment or fear. Do they have a favorite scratch spot or toy? Is there play time more chill or high energy?
