Hi, my name is Samantha! I have been caring for dogs for most of my life and bring a genuine passion for animal well-being to every booking. Growing up, my family had a Collie, and from an early age I took on full responsibility for her day-to-day care — managing her feeding schedule, ensuring she received the specific amount of exercise her breed required, and keeping her happy and comfortable at home. As she aged, her care became more complex, and I became the primary person responsible for administering her medication. This experience gave me hands-on confidence with the often-tricky task of getting a dog to take a pill — a skill many pet owners truly appreciate. More recently, I have cared for my neighbors' dogs on multiple occasions over the past several years, building a trusted, ongoing relationship with both the pets and their owners. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to honor those routines so your pup feels safe and at ease while you're away. Whether your dog needs gentle companionship, an energetic walk, or attentive care around a medical routine, I am fully prepared to provide it with patience, reliability, and plenty of love.
