Pet care experience

I run Compton Canine Care (check us out on facebook!) and have had experience with different size/age/breed of dogs for the last 15 years as my family absolutely loves animals. Family and friends have had me come over and petsit for them for the last 10 years and I love doing it 😁 I used to work for a pet resort, where I received training in dog body language and group play as well as proper cleaning for dogs.

I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.

Mabel's time with Samantha was terrific. Samantha was easy to communicate with. She was courteous and prompt . Her fenced yard was perfect for mabel. Samantha, when we are back in your area, Mabel will love to pay another visit. Thanks!

Information Samantha C. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with other dogs, adults, or children? Do they have food aggression or any particular tendencies that might be out of the ordinary? Please let me know if there is anything I should know! I require proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and distemper vaccines. Please send a picture or pdf before booking (or if booking further out, before the stay)! Feel free to ask any questions!

A typical day

I love going to the canal trail, Wide Waters, Ontario Pathways, or even walks through town with dogs! For at home activities - I can load up puzzles, sniff mats, play with toys, run around outside, etc. Let me know if you want anything specific! For lodging and daycare, I have scheduled playtimes and cool down times all day! I take dogs who can do group play as well as dogs who prefer to play with humans!

I spend my days playing with lodging and daycare dogs and occasionally walking dogs in town! During the school semester I take classes at RIT for computer science - my fiancé Robbie helps as well! My regulars love him and so do the dogs! 🐕 I mainly do daycare on the weekend during school semesters but take lodging dogs year round!
