Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

As I don’t have any other pets in my home, if you are bringing your dog here, please also bring any food/treats/toys that they need. I have a few toys and lots of blankets, but I’m sure most pups have toys they’d rather be playing with here.

A typical day

I don’t like to take recurring requests (I.e.: weekly dog walking). While I work from home, I don’t always have a consistent meeting schedule, and can’t commit to recurring requests. I’m always happy to review your request though and will try to help if I am available.

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love any and all pups. My 10 year old dog recently passed. He was a one-dog household kind of guy, so my house feels very quiet without a pup in here. I’m also very used to caring for a dog who doesn’t always love other dogs.

Samantha took great care of my dog Ivy while I was out of the country. She provided photos and messages to let me know how she was doing. Most importantly she made my dog feel safe and secure by providing her with lots of attention while I was away. I had never left my dog at another house before so I was not sure if she would be comfortable, but she did great. Thanks so much Samantha!
