Caring for them as I do my own❤
Pet care experience
My entire life, I have had a love for dogs. I put my passion for them to work 10 years ago. I've been trusted to visit homes and walk neighborhood dogs when they were away, along with feeding, bathing and medication administering. Eventually, my parents got a dog from a breeder and he has been living with the family for 11 years. I was tasked with training him, feeding/bathing him and watching out for him when my parents were out. I'd ensure to take him to the vet and pay any necessary bills the first chance I could. After moving out, I turned to rescuing my own dog. Being that she is a rescue with a traumatic past, I knew I had to take my experience to a new level. I've applied my patience, kindness, reliability and training skills and she has been blossoming ever since.

Great communication, my dog had a blast!
Rumor is that the puppy did NOT want to leave. She had a vacation from her 3.5 year old human brother!! ThNk ypu Samantha
When I first contacted Samantha she responded almost immediately. She requested a meet and greet and before you knew it Louie had his new puppy sitter.! Samantha was outgoing, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and most importantly…put Louie and I at ease. Two days later she provided our first drop in visit and provided me with pictures and info about her time with Louie. Today was our second visit and again I am so happy with the exceptional service she provides. I am grateful we found each other. Louie is in great hands.
Excellent care! Samantha was professional and so trustworthy. I was anxious finding a new dog walker after moving but Samantha immediately put me at ease with her thoughtful questions and recommendations. We feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely have her over again when we go away.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a front porch with a gate to sit outside in the sunshine and provide protection from the street. I have a small front yard at my place, but there is a large park 3 minutes from where I live. I have experience crating dogs and stopping door dashing (not allowing the dog to run out of the front door into the street). I have trained dogs to not pull on leash so they will not get into any harm on our walks.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet
I have an extensive understanding of various dog breeds and behaviors. I have experience with aggressive dogs, anxious dogs, leash reactivity and dogs who are scared. Please let me know of any important details ahead of time and I will definitely be prepared.
A typical day
I enjoy safely hiding things around the house as a game of hide and seek. This allows the dog to be mentally stimulated and have a "job" as they love to do. Also, I enjoy going to public parks on walks or on a quiet street. If the dog enjoys it, I can go for a jog with him/her for optimal exercise.
