Hello! My name is Samantha. I am a reliable and experienced dog sitter for the last 5 years. I absolutely love animals! I have done it all from feeding, walking, playing, and hanging out with the animals I sit for. I love dogs of all sizes and ages. Can also perform baths and light grooming. If needed, I have references.

Andrew B. says "Great with our dog Kobe. Flexible with our hours. Will keep her for occasional pet sitting or dog walking in future jobs."
