Availability
I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Walks availability: Anytime Sun-Tues, (Wed-Sat hours fluctuate, will need to discuss exact needs.) Doggy daycare availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding with me offers you peace of mind that your pet is the only animal in the home, for no additional charge. With timely communication and updates, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in good hands while you are away. I do require meet & greets for any new clients to ensure it’s a good fit and safety requirements are met for all.

About Samantha D.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We can discuss what works best for your pet. As long as animal is house broken and properly trained, I am flexible with crate/uncrated visits/boarding. My apartment complex is dog friendly but unfenced so would require on leash walks. If scheduling crated boarding, will need to provide own crate.
Home
Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet
Please share any particular needs of your pet. Feeding/walk times, crating needs, medications, allergies, special quirks (for example, does not play well with smaller breeds or needs to be fed alone.) Are they the independent type or do they get anxious and require snuggles? I want to make sure I am adaptable to your pets specific needs and they are as comfortable as can be while at their home away from home. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
A typical day
Working from home offers me the flexibility to take several breaks for playtime, walks with your pet, or just keep them company. I have a fenced in dog area on property as well as local dog parks if your pup needs some socializing time.

Your Pet Is My Only Guest!
Pet care experience
WHY BOOK WITH ME: My rates reflect my exclusive 'single-pet' policy. Your pet will be the sole focus of my attention without the distractions or stress of other animals. (Multiple animals from the same household or that are already familiar with each other are welcome.) Safety for all parties involved is always my top priority. That is why I only take one pet at a time. By doing so, I am able to offer your pet undivided attention, personalized care, a safe environment, and you don’t have to worry about any anxiety/injuries other animals may cause. I have previously had my own dog with reactive tendencies which has made me hyper aware of the importance of dogs social cues both with animals and people, and reading their body language/boundaries. For these reasons, I believe a single pet household is always the best policy. I have had pets or been around animals my entire life (including puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds) and they have always been considered a part of the family. I love every pet as if they’re my own. Your pets comfort is important to me and I am confident they will feel right at home. I have experience with puppies, as well as senior care.
Reviews
Samantha was great at looking after our cat on short notice. We were sent updates throughout the day which made the boarding easy for us. We can tell that our cat was relaxed and happy with Samantha. Would book again.
Thank you for taking care of Mickey! I can tell he had a great time with you!
Very sweet , very nice will definitely use her again! She watched both our kittens with ease ! No worries at all !
We can’t say enough great things about Samantha! This was our first time ever leaving our dog Luna with someone, and from the very beginning she made us feel completely at ease. She was kind, communicative, and treated Luna like her own. Luna was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved during her 3-night stay. We’re so grateful to have found Samantha and would absolutely trust her with Luna again!
