Command words, house rules, feeding schedule, allergies, socialization skills, reactivity, separation anxiety - all the things I want to know. Favourite dog parks, mortal enemies (they all have at least 1!), favourite routines. Bad habits: chewing chords, chewing furniture, counter stealing, eating everything off the street, tell me all the things I need to keep an eye on.

A typical day

Playing, snuggling, bathing (as required), long walks, dog parks, obedience training, car rides, puzzle games, grooming, and medications as required. I want to keep the routines that your fur-baby is used to.

Even your pet needs an Auntie Sam!

Pet care experience

Aunts are like having a second mother, to love, provide comfort & guidance and even some treats - your pets deserve an Auntie too! I have been an animal lover my whole life and started my own dog walking business at 13. My husband is also an animal lover and we have worked with small breeds to large breeds, fun loving breeds to stubborn ones, and all kinds of fur babies and fids (feathered kids). I help new pet owners with training and consistency, and will follow the commands and routines you have set out for your pet. Your home for drop in visits, our home for boarding, regular walks or emergency walks when life happens.

It was really comforting to know Fletcher was in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Samantha!

Samantha sat Harley for four nights while I was at a work trip and took such good care of him. She went over and above anything I could’ve expected.. Harley experience a medical incident while in her care and the level of support, comfort, patience, and knowledge that she put forth to deal with the issue was exemplary. I could not have expected better care. from even my own family.. we were in constant communication. She shared concerns. We worked through remedies in the end, Harley received the best care that he could.. I would highly recommend Samantha to take care for and treat your pup or senior in the best way possible as if he were a part of her own family.

Samantha was fantastic with Hank—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was clear from the start that she’s incredibly knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind when leaving our pup with someone for the first time!! We received plenty of text, photo, and video updates throughout the weekend, and it was obvious Hank was having the best time. He came home happy, relaxed, and tired—in the best way. Samantha also provided a crate and lots of toys, which made packing so much easier on our end. Highly recommend Samantha—we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! :)
