Loving care when you're not there!
Pet care experience
I LOVE dogs! I will treat yours just l like he/she is mine. My boyfriend and I live together and have a golden retriever who is very well socialized – she loves dogs, playing, and is very friendly. Since she is still young, she does have puppy energy and will be excited to see your dog. If your dog doesn't like other dogs, this will not be a good fit. Rover allows me to fill my deep-seated love for dogs while you feel safe knowing that your dog is in great, loving hands. I live in Portland and enjoy an active lifestyle -- I would love your dog to join me! I also enjoy those cozy nights in, doing nothing but cuddling on the couch :) I enjoy bringing dogs to the beach, breweries, the farmers market, and trails, such as Fore River, Quarry Run, and Presumscutt River trail. Since we live in such a dog friendly place, there are many things to do. I am very friendly, communicative, and enjoy providing you updates on what he or she has been up to.
Reviews
Samantha is fantastic! I didn't worry at all about my 2 labs and coon cat for the week I was away. She did a great job of communicating with me before I left and throughout my trip. 5 stars!
Zola loves the active life with Samantha and I know she is loved and well cared for!
Samantha took great care of our 3 year old dog Thor - in our home. It was so nice to know Thor was having fun with Samantha's pup Penny (on their various excursions to the beach and trails) and that all his needs were being met and more. And, to be able to really see that through all the pictures and messages. We will definitely book Samantha (and Penny:) again.
Another fabulous weekend for Hudson while we were away. He is always excited to see Sam and Penny! We are so happy to have Sam take care of our boy when we are away. Thank you so much!

I will take great care of your dog. If your pup needs to follow any sort of rules in your home (staying off furnature, sitting before they eat a meal, etc.), I am happy to learn those rules and continue intuiting them. If you request I say in your home, I will always leave your home just as clearn, or clearner, than when you left it.

Information Samantha V. would like to know about your pet
I have no preference for breeds -- I love them all equally! I do have a dog so your dog will need to be dog friendly.
A typical day
I enjoy bringing dogs to the beach, breweries, the farmers market, and walking trails, such as Fore River, Quarry Run, and Presumscutt River trail. I have plenty of experience with dogs who have anxiety, whether they are nervous of new people, other dogs, children, etc. There are other things we can do together to avoid these triggers, or if you prefer, we can just stay in! If you like your dog to follow certain rules, I am happy to learn them and continue instituting those rules.
