Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pup has any special needs i can account for. Anything that triggers them? What are their favourite toys and treats?

I love to find new ways to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically. Together we can explore new places and smells, do puzzles, and build confidence. Long nature walks and fresh air are a must.

Pet care experience

Animals are my happy place. I previously worked at a doggy daycare with breeds of all snouts and sizes. There is no dog that doesn’t deserve our love and patience. I have experience in boarding, walking, training, administering meds, and keeping dogs busy and entertained. Your pup will be treated like family and your mind will be put at ease.

Sam was great. She took amazing care of our adult dog giving him his meds every morning and his treats every night!

Sam was wonderful with my senior dog. She sent frequent updates and photos showing how comfortable and engaged he was while I was gone for a few days. She really went the extra mile. She will definitely be who I call again!

Sam was great. She was attentive to the dogs. She was above and beyond being helpful right down to asking us when the trash had to go out 😀. House looked great when we got home! she was here to watch the dogs, but she also took care of the cat…We felt better about not being with our babies because they were here with Sam… lots of update photos, too, which was super great 😀. Thank you Sam!!!

Sam was awesome. We have a very energetic persistent dog who loves to play fetch. Sam accommodated him very well and he loved her. I highly recommend her. She is very good with dogs and understands them.
