Will say "BIG Stretch" for you

Hi, I'm Sam! My family loves animals and I grew up with pets as a part of the family. Last year, my cousins started bringing their dogs over to my house for "doggie daycare" because my house had a large backyard. I would take them on walks on the trail by my house, give them brushes/pets, and their post-walk treat. (Dogs at doggie daycare: Corgi, Chow Chow, Husky, Husky-Shepherd mix, & Blue Heeler) One of the sweetest dogs I know is a Pit Bull mix named Tigger. Now that I live in Boston, I have two cats of my own, Bava and Joobie. I understand the patience that goes into caring for a pet of your own and how great it is having such a silly little animal. When I adopted Bava, she had critical health issues and had to stay at the animal hospital for two days. Joobie also had some health concerns as she wouldn't eat at the animal shelter. But after a lot of care, each are doing great and love to eat. I'm happy to provide whatever care is needed for your pet, such as administering medicine or sitting next to your cat while they eat.

Samantha has been taking my dog Ladybug for weekly walks. She’s great with communication and always gives useful updates on how Ladybug is doing!

This is the second time we ask Samantha to walk Maple. She has been great, punctual and responsive. Thank you! We hope to work with you again.

Sam is reliable, flexible and is a great communicator. I love all of the details and pictures she provides during her visits with Linus. It always looks like Linus is so playful and at peace when she visits which makes me feel so comfortable while we're away. Thanks Sam!
