Availability
I work remotely from home Monday through Friday and am home on the weekends. I am available Monday through Sunday for all dog/pet needs. Whether it's daily walks or boarding, I am here to meet all your pets needs :) I used to cook breakfast and dinner for my dogs, so if you have a special diet and don't have the time to cook for them, I am also available for that.

About Samantha P.

Safety, trust & environment
If at my house, anywhere I go, the dogs will be allowed, including the furniture; that is of course unless you have specific rules about not letting them on furniture. I will always respect your wishes for how you want me to care of your fur baby. I just lost my sweet boy to cancer, so I have a pet-free home at the moment, but I will make sure any dog that stays with me feels loved and has a great fun while in my care. If you'd like an environment where they get to socialize with other dogs, I can arrange play dates or take them to the dog park. As far as going outside, I have a fenced in backyard and I will remain outside while your dog is in the yard. This is something I always did for my dog, and I'd want someone to do the same for me. I would do the same if I am letting your fur baby out at your house as well. At your house, if you crate train your dogs, I will follow those specific instructions and put them back in the crate when I leave. For walks at my house, there's a bike trail near my house that I'd take dogs who need long walks. For short walks, my neighborhood has an area for dogs that I'd take them.

Information Samantha P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time. I am able to/have experience administering medicine via injection and orally.
A typical day
We'll check out my neighborhood, play fetch in my backyard, take a walk on the nature trail by my house, go to the dog park that's closest to my house, and if allowed I'll spoil them with homemade pumpkin dog treats.

Where Compassion Meets Experience
Pet care experience
I have a lifelong love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them in every stage of life. I started dog sitting as a teenager, later working as a veterinary technician throughout college, and I have also spent time working at a boarding facility and volunteering with rescues. I’ve cared for senior and special-needs dogs—both professionally and personally, and understand how to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe. I’ve owned five dogs (simultaneously) who each lived long, full lives, so I know just how much they mean to their families. Having cared for 5 dogs all at once, I know how to care for multiple dogs at the same time if you have more than one fur baby. I’m also completing my certification for Professional Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers to continue building my skills. Every dog in my care will be treated like my own. I will care for them with same love and attention they’d receive at home. I used to cook breakfast and dinner for my dogs, so if you have a special diet and don't have the time to cook for them, I am also available for that.
Reviews
Samantha took care of my Boston Terrier, Seamus, for the second time, and once again she was fantastic. It’s clear she genuinely cares—Seamus was treated with so much love and attention. I really appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos, which made it easy to relax knowing he was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Samantha obviously loves dogs and my two beagles were very happy with her. She sent periodic updates and photos and took my beags on a good sniffing walk during their daycare experience. She also messaged me with a question when she noticed one of my dogs shaking his paw in his sleep. There was a minor issue of miscommunication regarding pickup time on the second day, but otherwise it was a good experience.
Samantha was fantastic with my Boston terrier, Sèamus! I reached out to her last minute before a somewhat stressful trip, and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. She made everything easy right from the start. It’s obvious she truly loves dogs. Sèamus was well cared for, and I got daily updates that really put my mind at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful I found her and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! — Kev
Samantha did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Sadie, while I was away. She gave me plenty of updates, and was very responsive. I could tell that Sadie was well cared for, and I knew that she was in great hands. I will definitely be asking Samantha to take care of Sadie again in the future.
