Highlights
Pet care experience
Even your pet needs an Auntie Sam!
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.

Ratings and reviews
Sam is always Amazing :D
Samantha looked after our 3 cats while we were away for a week. She sent us daily updates and pictures. She took very good care of our babies :). Her communication with us was excellent.
Samantha took such great care of Emmy and receiving the visit updates gave me peace of mind while I was away. I am thrilled with the service and Samantha’s care and patience with Emmy. I can’t thank you enough for such a great service and highly recommend. I will definitely book again.
She took on this request last minute. We had an emergency and she took amazing care of our babies. We will absolutely book her in the future.
Samantha was great! Very quick to respond and was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our boys and provided amazing notes and detail of her walk with them! Will definitely be working with her again :)
Our dog gets very stressed out when we leave. Samantha put our minds at ease with her very friendly and caring personality. She was flexible and knew how to help support our dog in a way that made our nervous girl comfortable. Samantha communicated very well, letting us know how things were going via messages/updates on the app. She gave us a call when she was concerned about something with the dog. We were very happy with Samantha’s care for our dog, would highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Schedule
I am in and out multiple times a day with various walks, so please let me know if your dog is used to being left alone for short periods of time (4 hours at a time max). I work from home part time for a local charity too.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We (my husband & I) have a shared fenced yard and huge park nearby. I have a caged bird at home and no other animals. We typically only take on one household at a time for boarding.
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.

- 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.
