I’ve known Samantha for years. While she’s one of my closest friends. she has always been, first and foremost, a dog lover. She effortless balances the handful of dogs she owns at home (each from puppy stage and onward) as well as a reliable dog-and-cat-sitter for friends. I have a 10 week old Boston Terrier that has proven he can be a real menace but immediately calms down and is noticeably soothed by her presence, demeanor, and expertise in caring for animals. Samantha is, simply put, a true animal lover, through and through.
