Huge dog lover and expert snuggler!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Samantha and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and spoil them with lots of snuggles. I have always loved all animals, and have dedicated a large part of my life to helping dogs find loving forever homes. I grew up with two German Shepherds and a poodle, and have volunteered with rescue organizations for the past five years. I began fostering dogs about five years ago to do as much as I could to help find these dogs homes. In December 2019, my husband and I adopted the love of our lives- our pup, Maggie. She is a 4 year old, 40 pound beagle/cocker spaniel/staffie mix with the sweetest temperament. She is great with all dogs and is on the submissive side. My building has a fenced-in dog run area outside, which is the perfect place for introductions during a meet-and-greet and play time during your dog’s stay! I've cared for every type of dog with every type of issue that you could think of, and I've loved every minute of it. While I personally do not have issues with larger dogs, my apartment building unfortunately enforces a weight limit of 60 pounds. I am willing to have dogs in my car (I have a safety buckle for them) if they're up for a trip to the dog park! Or I’m happy to give them nice long walks around the neighborhood. I know that it is never easy to leave your furry friends behind, but they'll be in excellent hands with me!

Samantha was an awesome dog sitter and I'm glad I found her! She was super flexible with a time to set up a meet-and-greet beforehand, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She was very responsive both before booking, and during the time she was watching my dog. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates too! When I picked up my dog at the end of my trip, he was happy and very tired, so I know he got lots of love and attention!

Dropped off a dog. Got back a dog. Found out it was the same dog in the same condition. Good deal. Samantha was good with our Staffy and followed our instructions on how to care for the dog. She was attentive to vet information and other health concerns, including social behaviors. Happy to book her again.

Samantha is great! She was open to meeting beforehand to get to know our pup and for him to get to know her. She was flexible and kept us updated on how he was doing while we were gone, including sending pictures. We know our pup loves to give and receive attention, and we feel like he got lots of it! We wouldn't hesitate to use Samantha again.

Information Samantha N. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know more information on your dog’s temperament, whether they get along with other dogs, if they have any issues with guarding food or toys, and if they are completely house-trained. While I personally love ALL breeds, my apartment building has some restrictions for purebreds (German Shepard, Rottweiler, Dobermans, Huskies, and Pitbull type dogs are unfortunately all banned).

A typical day

At a very minimum, dogs receive two 30-45 minute walks per day. My husband and I both work from home and frequently do extra walks throughout the day. We also will play in our apartment complex’s outdoor dog-run area (completely fenced in), have tons of toys to play with, play with our dog Maggie, and enjoy lots of kisses and snuggles!
