Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately during this time I am unable to have pets in my home. To ensure the safety for me and your pets I have completed all state required ASPCA programs to work professionally with animals. The topics for dogs and cats included; body language, diseases, safety and management, and cleaning regulations. I have regularly walked and fostered dogs from Elmore SPCA in upstate NY. Through them I have gained lots of experience handling different breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages of dogs.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets has any special needs like allergies, behavioral notes, skills to work on so I can be prepared when meeting your pets.

A typical day

I love to go on nature walks/ hikes, I have access to private farm roads to stimulate your dog’s senses. For our indoor friends, we can play lots of games using enrichment toys.

Pet care experience

I have been an active volunteer with the Elmore SPCA in Peru Ny for 4 years. I often walk, socialize, enrich, and foster the dogs in the shelters care. I have worked with puppy's as young as 3 months up to the elder dogs to provide comfort.

Sam has known and taken care of my cat for over 3 years. I have always felt super comfortable leaving for an extended period of time knowing that Sam will be checking in or even staying with him. Sam is incredibly responsible, and is quick to respond when needed. She has helped me on multiple emergency situations with my cat as well, and is incredibly reliable. You would not regret having Sam with your pet, as she takes photos and videos to keep me updated on my cats well-being. Sam also volunteers to help in animal shelters in the area, which just shows how much she really cares about animals of all kinds.

Samantha was AMAZING with my dog Marilyn! Marilyn instantly felt safe around her and welcomed her with lots of energy. Samantha was super helpful for weekend trips because she had no problem getting to my house at 6am, day walks and then taking the time to go back and walk her late in the night so she didn't have accidents. When Marilyn started to show her age, Samantha had no problems cleaning up after her when she had less control. If we ever get another dog, Samantha will definitely be the one I will be contacting to help me out.
