Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with young and older dogs and cats. I have experience with crates and potty training. I can cater to special diets and medications as needed. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I do require a meet & greet before confirming any new booking. This helps your pet get familiar with me and ensures a great fit!

Samantha was awesome. I nicknamed her the pet whisperer. She was always on time and sent pictures during each visit. This was my first time using this service and thanks to Samantha, it will not be my last! She's so pleasant and friendly. It was a joy working with her.

Samantha is great with my dogs! She’s great with communication about the dogs and her visit. I notified her very short timing with needing her services and she was here the next day. Went above and beyond so we could meet so I could feel comfortable and her finding out about the dogs needs and care. I will be using her again and would recommend her to anyone! My dogs adore her. 10/10

Thank you so much for visiting with Tessa and Hawkeye! They were happy (and not mad at me) when I got home from our vacation. I loved the pictures you sent me and all the little extras, too! You are so appreciated!

We have 3 very energetic vizslas (50 lbs each), Samantha did absolutely amazing with them. She kept them engaged during her visits with them. We usually have a nervous chewer and this time with Samantha as a dog sitter he didn't chew on ANYTHING! We have had many dog sitters and by far will go pick Samantha over anyone for our pups. She went above and beyond and we are greatly appreciative of her!

Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe while in my care! Before our visit, I’d love to know: 🐾 Daily Routine – Feeding schedule, potty breaks, and favorite activities. 🐾 Energy Level & Exercise Needs – Do they love long walks, zoomies, or are they more of a couch snuggler? 🐾 Personality & Preferences – Are they shy or outgoing? Do they love belly rubs or prefer space? 🐾 Commands & Training – Any commands they know or rules you’d like me to reinforce? 🐾 Health & Medications – Any allergies, medications, or special care instructions? 🐾 Socialization – How do they behave around new people, kids, or other animals? 🐾 Favorite Treats & Toys – Any favorites I can use to make our time extra fun? 🐾 Special Notes – Anything else that will help me provide the best care for your pet! I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you're away, so the more details, the better! 😊
