Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Sam and I'm a full-time WFH freelancer with a lot of flexibility. I've owned dogs my whole life, mostly rescue dogs who come with a few special quirks and needs! I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I'm comfortable managing reactivity, clicker training, and enforcing positive training. For more info on the pet services I offer, see below 👇🏼 ✅ Insured by PetCare Insurance 🏥 Pet First Aid & CPR Certified 🦮 DOG WALKS & DROP INS 30-minute or 60-minute dog walks or drop ins include a potty break, sniff time, walking, and feeding/water (if needed). If weather is poor, we’ll play inside after a potty break outdoors. I can drop in on your pet while you’re away if you don’t need overnight care, or simply walk your dog while you’re at the office. **Please note im not currently able to accommodate repeat, weekly dog walks due to my current schedule 🏡 HOUSESITTING Housesitting involves overnight care of your pets and home. While I don’t offer constant care, I rarely leave pets alone for more than 4 hours. I am in your home from 8PM to 8AM, and I always make sure to stop in mid-day for a potty break if I happen to be out. I do my best to keep your pet in his routine, sending daily updates so you know what we’re up to. Aside from pet care, I can also bring in mail, water plants, and keep your home safe. 🐾 I can’t wait to meet your pet!
Reviews
Samantha was responsive and accessible. We really appreciated the check ins and the care she gave to our loved ones.
My Staffy absolutely LOVED Samantha and communication was a breeze 😊🐾 Not only was Sam sympathetic to dog reactivity, but she was Also mindful of upholding training/commands while I was away. Thank you for being so pleasant and flexible, Sam!! Pets are in good hands with you around!
Aam was absolutely fantastic. She did a great job with our pup who can have some anxiety and reactive issues. She went the extra mile to also water our plants and took out all the recycled dog food cans. Just so thoughtful, I can't say enough good things.
Samantha is GREAT! Not only is she friendly and kind, but she is patient and calming, to both pets and their owners! She understood how to meet/interact with my super shy, anxious cat while house-sitting, and very quickly, he was comfortable and affectionate to Samantha. She was very responsive, her daily updates and photos were so appreciated, knowing my cat was doing so well. She was accommodating to my cat’s schedule and needs, took great care of my home, and left it spotless. I highly recommend Samantha and hope she is available for my next trip away. Thank you so much!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm currently not able to host dogs in my own home (my dog is reactive), but I prioritize dog safety first and foremost on walks and in your home. When necessary, I use two-point control leashes and reflective gear. I am also pet first aid and CPR certified.
Information Samantha T. would like to know about your pet
I’m very familiar with different pet quirks, but please let me know: ? Reactivity: is your dog reactive to people or other animals? I can manage this, but I need to be prepared when walking! ? Allergies: Please let me know if your pet is allergic to anything. I typically carry treats and want to make sure they’re safe! ☔️ Weather: Hos does your pet respond to poor weather?
A typical day
I love to work with your pet's existing schedule, whether that means longer walks, runs, or inside play! Let me know a favorite walking path, or we can discover a new one together!

Availability
As someone with a WFH job, I can work your dog's needs into my schedule! I have no problem with early-morning walks or late-night check ins. However, I am unable to accommodate constant care (pets that can’t be left alone for more than 3 hours).
