I'll love them like family!

Pet care experience

Dogs are my absolute favorite! I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like or who’s name I couldn’t remember. I have two small dogs of my own, Nigel & Charlie, both rescues, but we love the pure breeds too!! After spending several years in the world of law enforcement/corrections, I went into travel healthcare and am so happy to be able to offer my services to pet parents in the area I currently work. Not only am I trustworthy and dependable, I have 20+ years experience caring for and working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. For the past several years I’ve done contract work for several AKC dog shows and attend several shows a year educating myself on breeds and breed behaviors. I grew up with dogs, have hunted with dogs, hiked with dogs and know the ability a dog has to provide us great healing. I believe in treating all dogs like my own and I believe dogs are here for such a short time they deserve to have the best life possible! I’d love to help make your dog’s time that you’re away as stress free and as fun as possible.

Samantha is an amazing pet sitter. She adores dogs of all breeds and goes above and beyond when caring for them. Samantha takes her time in giving each individual dog the attention they need and really spends time getting to know them. You’d never regret having her care for your dogs.

I have yet to meet a person I trust more with my Stevie than Samantha. She watched my nugget while I was going through some hard times. It eased my mind knowing Stevie was in good hands and didn't have to worry. She took her on walks and adventures and kept me updated. She loves animals like they were her own.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

I do not have breed preferences. I believe there are no bad dogs only bad dog owners. I really enjoy interacting with all dog breeds. I have experience with breeds of all sizes. I would always prefer to meet the dog or dogs before any type of overnight experience.

A typical day

I love taking my dogs hiking; however, since they’re small, they can’t go on the long hikes I enjoy. We go for small walks and adventures shopping at dog friendly stores!
