Safety, trust & environment

It’s important for me to meet the animal and their humans before hand so everyone is on the same page and can ask all the questions that they might think of. I also keep myself accessible through my phone for any other possibilities that might arise.

Information Samantha F. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if a dog has any toy or play preferences. It’s also important to me to know if there are things/places/people to avoid so I can provide the most comfortable experience for your fuzzy family member.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, I enjoy going for a walk or a brisk jog. If the dog is comfortable, I try to engage them with playtime & belly rubs.

Samantha was so sweet and caring for our little girl. She She took great care of our 22 year-old cat with a lot of TLC. She’s also very accommodating and flexible with our schedule and easy to work with. We definitely would love to work with her again. Our little lady seemed to be very happy.

Samantha was so kind and attentive with our sweet pups. She took amazing care of them so we could enjoy our destination wedding with no worries! She was quick to respond and sent plenty of B photos so we knew how they were.
