Information Samantha C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible. I also appreciate knowing their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any quirks that make them unique. This helps me keep their routine consistent and ensures they feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs both physically and mentally engaged. We’ll go on walks to explore new smells, play fun games for stimulation, and enjoy cuddle breaks throughout the our time together. I make sure each pup gets the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and relaxation so they go home happy and tired!

Samantha gave us regular updates and pictures which was comforting as this was our first time to leave our puppy. Our puppy was happy and well looked after by Samantha.

Samantha was very professional, and attentive. It was a relief knowing my cats were in good hands. My shy cat even came out and let her pet him 🥰
