Safety, trust & environment

I provide the best care when I know your pet’s schedule. If you leave instructions, I will follow them. If something doesn’t make sense to me, I will ask. If your pet requires special medication that needs to be taken at a specific time or in a specific way, I will do that. The health and safety of your fur-babies is my top priority, and u can expect me to treat them with the utmost respect.

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are certain behaviours I need to look out for, e.g. excessive paw licking. If there is a medication I need to give to your pet, leave instructions for the best way to give your pet said medication.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. I know that 10 minutes of sniffing is equal to a 1 hour walk. I will bring a small cardboard box with holes cut into the top to play games with treats and my own dogs shedded fur for extra stimuli. I love going for walks with dogs, so we will often explore new areas they may not have explored before for extra stimuli as well.

I have taken care of pets since I was about 12. Friends and family have relied on me to look after their fur-babies for as long as they need me to. I love animals with all my heart, and love to take care of them.

Samantha was excellent with Rosie while we were out of town! She is a wonderful communicator and I can tell Rosie was comfortable with her right away. Samantha is knowledgeable and patient and asked great questions when meeting us and kept me up to date during our time away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable dog-walker!

Sam did a great job house sitting and watching my cat for almost 3 weeks while I was away. She even saved a mouse that my cat caught and took it outside. So happy she was there! Our cat was happy and looked great when we got home.

Sam did an amazing job looking after my 3 cats while I was working snow removal with long hours. Sam looked after everything for them and would text me if I needed to buy more food or anything. Sam's communication with me regarding my cats was greatly appreciated. They know what their doing when it comes to animals.
