Experienced Animal Handler

Pet care experience

I am a recent college graduate who has had a variety of experiences caring for and walking pets for their owners since 2010. Most recently, my partner and myself have begun our own off-grid vegan homestead on 11 acres in the Catskills with a yurt, a creek, and a small crew of rescued chickens. As animal lovers who would love a dog of our own one day, it seemed like a no-brained to open our door to pups who who could use a place to play the day away. It’s been a blast! I also always look forward to any walking/sitting requests; spending time with animals is my favorite thing and I am joyful anytime I get to meet a new furry friend. I have experience with all sorts of animals, especially dogs, cats, horses, goats, small rodents, and chickens. I am a very healthy and active individual and am always looking for new k9 hiking partners. I am happy to take your dog on a stroll around the neighborhood, or take them to the mountains for a full day’s hike. My car is a reliable one that can handle some pretty harsh weather conditions. My ultimate goal is to keep the animals safe, happy and healthy, both physically and mentally. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and am certain that you will be happy with my dedication, passion, and responsibility when caring for your beloved family member.

Samantha was lovely and very kind to our two cats and our dog. She was sweet, lovely and trustworthy. If we go out of town again we will contact her to watch out animals again

Samantha was a dream come true for Bolt and us. Samantha played with bolt in the snow for hours and he came home exhausted and all smiles. The photos Samantha sent will be cherished forever. Will schedule another playdate next time were are in town.

Samantha was wonderful. We felt very at ease with leaving the dogs with her. She followed the routine we gave her and the dogs enjoyed being with her. Samantha kept us updated and sent us pictures periodically. We will definitely have her pets sit in the future.

Samantha was great! She did a meet and greet with my pup and he clearly took to her immediately. When I got home, my pup was in such a happy and relaxed mood, I knew that he had had a great time on his walk with Samantha.

I will cater our walks' terrain and intensity level to be best for your dog's age or health, as needed. If possible, I like to take the dog to as many different places in the area as possible, so that they can see new sights, smell new smells, and encounter new experiences on each walk. However, if you have a specific place that you would like us to stay during our excursions, that would work great as well.
