Thoughtful and Loving Pet Caretaker
I have been in love with dogs since the first time I laid eyes on my aunt's dog at four months old, and refused to sleep without her. I remember trying to train dogs from age six and on. I am now a professional dog trainer and kennel technician. I have experience in socializing, potty training, aggression rehabilitation, and pet first aid. I truly enjoy being around dogs, boosting their confidence, while also teach them manners. Not only can I walk, check-in, board, or house sit for you and your pup; but I can also work on leash, obedience training, and separation anxeity. I will take care of your best friend as I would my own. If you need someone to take care of your fur baby when you can't, I'll be there.

Samantha D. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Samantha is an absolute gem!! Honestly, her entire family is. This was our first time having someone watch both Arnie and Lita, in our home, and it was better than I could have hoped for. Samantha treats all animals like her own, and I think Arnie and Lita are missing her already! Everything was left better than before and we cannot thank her and her family enough for going above and beyond to make sure our fur babies were loved on and taken care of. Her communication is wonderful, she updates you regularly, and truly gives you peace of mind while you are away. I would recommend her over and over again!
I was super anxious about leaving Ajax for the first time with someone that wasn’t family but Samantha calmed the nerves upon meeting. Ajax was well taken care of for the weekend away and I really appreciated that. You can tell she truly cares for the animals.
My second time using Samantha. She responded quick and got to me again on a last minute notice. I really appreciate her looking after my dog son while I'm gone.
First time my dog has been cared for outside of our house and it went very well thanks to this caring family
Excellent. Communication was spot on and I had a great sense of Duncan being cared for exactly the way I want him to be.

Schedule
I am a full time mom of 3, full time teacher, full time student, part time coach, and part time dog trainer. With having so much on my plate I’m unfortunately not willing to go any further than 10-15 miles from my home at this time.

Safety, trust & environment
When your dog is in my care I make sure they get the same attention and care I would give my own dogs. Our day depends on your dogs typical routine and energy level. Exercise, playtime, and tons of love.

A typical day
Other than walks, there are great number of activities to stimulate your dogs brain which wears them out as much as exersizing. This is much needed in the current Florida heat. Nose work is the most effective. Working with food puzzles like Kongs or snuffle mats.
