Your pups home away from home !
Pet care experience
Hello, My name is Sam I own one large dog a 4 year old German Shepherd named Hudson. He is good with dogs of all sizes. I have 11+ years of experience working with canines, I’ve worked around dogs all my life. I do work Mon-Friday so house trained dog or puppies that are housebroken would be better suited. Any requests that are sent to me and not responded too within 24 hours will be deleted to keep my schedule open. Thank you for understanding. xoxo-Hudson and Sam Your pet's stay includes: 1.) Two daily walks 2.) Daily reports of how they are doing and pictures. 3.) For stay's of over 4 day's (upon owners approval, trips to park). For overnights please include: Toy's, bowls ,bedding, feeding instructions, medication instructions. Why I love dog sitting Each pet is a family member, this is how I view my dog as my most beloved family member. I love dogs and the joy they bring into your home, and nothing is better than seeing a happy full body butt wiggle when they see you. Dog sitting is also a great alternative to boarding in a kennel because it offers a more intimate setting for your family member. This can really help a timid, anxious, or senior dog it's also a wonderful way to place your mind at ease that your dog is getting lots of love and attention. I am experienced with administering medications and I am familiar with "pilling" a dog, giving nasal sprays, ear drops, eye drops, face wipes, allergy and insulin shots. Any special diets are okay as well.
Reviews
Samara was wonderful with our puppy Barry! It was our first time leaving him and made us feel so comfortable and safe. He had a blast with her and at the dog park! Would highly recommend!
Samara really stepped up to take care of my baby while I was out of reception and ended up in a longer than expected emergency situation of a trip! I cannot recommend her enough she really saved me and my little dude!!
Samara was so great with my old little guy! I got the best pictures of their adventures, she was a great communicator, and I can recommend her highly enough!
Thanks for showing my Kodak some love, Sam! <3

I live In a lofted spacious one bedroom (1000) ft, so larger dogs can feel comfortable . I have stairs but those can be blocked if you’re are not comfortable with them going upstairs. I do allow animals on furniture if that is allowed at home not a problem for me. I only take on one dog at a time, my dog is shared with the (co-parent). So if my dog is here with yours I’ll handle the feeding separately to avoid any issues.

Information Samara J. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the basics: temperament, feeding habits, medications, allergies, if they are leash aggressive, friendly with other dogs. I can go into more detail with owners.
A typical day
If you have any training you are working on we can practice that while they stay with me as well. Mental stimulation is wonderful, lots of walks. Fetch and games are also a fun bonding sessions! Just let me know what they prefer and we can make it happen !

I do work 10 mins away from home and my typical work week is Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:30pm. I wake up at 6 am to walk/go to the park and feed Hudson. He is around 7 years old so he sleeps during the day. I’m home around 4:40 and we go straight to the park for about an hour and half or for a run if the weather is ok. Then we relax and he’s fed around 7:30pm. I can accommodate if other dogs eat sooner or if they need an afternoon break then I can come home during my lunch break at 1pm for a potty walk.
