Dog nanny here to help :)
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs for over 10+ years. I started volunteering at the local no kill shelter at just 18 years old. I realized then that I had a deep passion for dogs. I started fostering through a New York rescue group where I took care of close to 40 puppies. I have acquired my vet assistant certificate along with my dog training certificate. 7 years ago I started working at my first dog daycare and started my own personal dog sitting business. In 2012, I achieved my goal of manager at a 2nd Pittsfield dog daycare and also took care of dogs in my home as well. I went to school online for my vet assistant certificate and dog training certificate to further my knowledge of dogs. I am currently a dog sitter and nanny full time. All dogs who stay in my home get personal 24/7 attention; with a fully fenced in yard, sleeping on beds and couches, and daily walks/hikes; they are living the life of luxury during their vacation. I look forward to many many more years taking care of all of my four legged friends <3
Reviews
Samantha is reliable and responsible. Forrest loves her and I never worry! Thank you Samantha
What an amazing sitter! Samantha was wonderful with our two pups, and especially great with our young puppy. Both dogs came back happy and tired. Samantha was especially great on communication and for taking our little ones on short notice.
Forrest was very happy when I got home. Thank you!!
Was able to help quickly on extreme short notice and took great care of our puppy

Information Samantha Marie R. would like to know about your pet
We would love to know anything and everything about your dog before taking care of your pup. Knowing things like if they like or dislike kids, other dogs, cats, and certain people is crucial to keeping them and myself safe. Knowing what kind of rules they have at home, what you expect from them, what kind of treats they get, and what commands you use helps keep the pup comfortable with new people and surroundings and to advance in their everyday training. We do not have any breed preferences, we welcome any dog into our hearts and lives until they prove us otherwise.
A typical day
*Exercise* If the dogs are boarding in my home, (with your permission), I walk down the main road and around the community, to the lake, or go hiking on or off leash at Potter Mountain or Balance Rock State Forest. If walking dogs from your home, I can walk them where ever you prefer or take them to a hiking area. *Sleeping Arrangements* Dogs in my home are allowed to sleep on our bed, couch, or dog bed. Also if your dog is trained to sleep in a crate or off the furniture that can be easily arranged as well. *Time I'll spend with your dog* All the time and love is given to make the dog happy, tired, and comfortable. If spending time in my home the dog will get 24/7 attention and love. Most of the time the dog will only be left alone for a period of 2-3 hours, if any at all. If dog sitting in your home, I usually do 3-4 1 hr visits per day. I can do more or less depending on your needs and also can do shorter or longer visits as well. *Extra house-sitting services* I am absolutely willing to do additional tasks for an additional price. Along with dog sitting I am also a full time housekeeper. I also do babysitting, errands, and taking care of anything else house related.
