Experienced pet care - FT caretaker
Pet care experience
Hello fellow pet lovers! I'd love to introduce myself & help you on your journey finding the perfect fit for your pet care needs! My name is Samantha & I have 3 sweet friendly pups named Artemis, Finley and Lionel. I have spent my life dedicated to dogs & pet care - whether caring for my own 3 dogs, or my friend’s, family's & client's pets. I have successfully run my own pet care business for over 6 years, 8 years professional kennel experience and several years of Veterinarian Technician experience. It can be difficult finding a safe haven for your pet while you are gone. (I too have run into this problem) so i make pet care easy keeping pets comfortable, happy and fun for both you and your pet! Having pet care with peace of mind is priceless and I love providing that quality of service to all my clients! I specialize in dogs, cats, and small animals. I am trained in dog CPR, elderly dog care, young puppies, diabetic care or dogs that have epilepsy & more! If your dog has medications or allergies, please let me know and I can certainly accommodate them. Whether your pup is one of the most active breeds or a couch potato I can definitely accommodate their needs. I provide everything your dog would need besides their food as well as sending regular updates throughout each stay with pictures and videos, so you are guaranteed to know your dog is having a blast! After so much extensive experience caring for pets in my life. I can confidently tell you that when your pet is in my care they will be treated like family with love, kindness and compassion. And lastly, I would love to meet prior to any stay so your pup can successfully get acclimated into our pack. Being at home full-time has allowed me to have the most flexibility when caring for all types of pets. I fill my schedule with hourly activities, down time, and potty times while keeping clients up to date regularly throughout the stay. Being trained in dog behavior lets me be able to help dogs from young ages to even elderly dogs to socialize in safe supervised setting as well as increase confidence, socialization and manners when hanging out with other dogs. Caring for animals is my full-time passion. I provide 24 hour care, cuddle time, grooming, endless dog walks & buddy time (group supervised dog play time) my schedule is based around any pet care I can assist with.
Reviews
Sam went above and beyond for Hazel, my high-anxiety dog. I received so many great pics and check-ins and knew she was well-cared for, and tired when I got back. I can't recommend her enough!
Picked Charlie up this morning from her staycation at Sammie’s! We boarded Tuesday-Sunday and we received multiple updates on how Charlie was doing each day. We left town and the weather was going to be a bit rocky but did not worry one bit! Samantha let us know how Charlie did during the storms and she is always prepared for whatever comes up with her pack. Charlie also got a pampering nail trim and she is so comfortable with Samantha that she doesn’t make a peep. We love that for her! We are so lucky to have found Samantha and Charlie is always so happy to go to her home away from home!
Samantha was great with our dog! We were nervous to let someone who wasn't family watch him, but she put us at ease and made him so comfortable. She was even flexible when we had to change our plans last minute! We will definitely be using her again!
Samantha took amazing care of my puppy while we went on a 6-day vacation. She sent pictures, videos and updates to me so I always could see how happy my pup was! Will definitely book with her again!!

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet
The more information you can give me the better I can accommodate correctly. I like to know if your dog has any allergies, what their experience is with other dogs, and if they have kennel experience. Its important for me to know what causes your dog anxiety and ways for me to calm them down. Please let me know if any special accommodations are necessary right away, for example medications. I would like all owners to provide up to date vaccination records and any previous medical history if necessary. With these details I can stay true to providing that safe haven for your pet.
A typical day
I provide a safe, fun, and enriching environment for your pet. I have three dogs of my own that enjoy new company, and will provide your pet with a fun time.
