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.

Samantha is a life saver with out puppy! We needed someone to do drop in visits to let out baby American bulldog pee during the day while we’re at work and Samantha always meets our schedule/needs and is very flexible! She also loves our dolly like her own!! I’m so happy I found Samantha and will be using her services for a long time to come.

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.

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Samantha can host up to 1 pet per night
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.
