Beagles are my ♥️.

Pet care experience

My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam

Samantha was fantastic! Provided videos, and let our dog have fun running around with other dogs.

Dropping off our fur baby, Parker, is always the hardest thing in the world to do. He’s got some anxiety and he’s used to being with us 24/7 365. However, dropping him off with someone as wonderful as Samantha is so stress-free and enjoyable. She sent so many pictures and videos to warm our hearts, and she treated our puppy like he was her own. I’d give her 7/5 stars if I could.
