Certified Dog Person Since Birth!

I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with golden retrievers, and I’ve been dog-sitting in Nelson for over two years. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and easygoing couch companions, and I enjoy adapting to whatever pace your pup prefers. I love taking dogs out on Nelson’s beautiful trails for fresh air and adventure. Whether your dog wants to sniff every tree or prefers a more relaxed stroll, I’m all about making their time with me tail-waggingly fun! With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of routines, visits, and energy levels. I’m all about making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away—because every pup deserves to have a good time, even if their human is off doing human things.

Sam took great care of our little guy. She was respectful of our home and provided frequent updates and pictures. I would recommend her for any pet sitting!

Sam was great. Punctual, communicative and seemed genuinely excited to take my pup for walks. I will certainly be using her as my go to dog walker in the future when I am working or away from home.

Samantha grew up with dogs as a child. She was very affectionate and loving with them. She thoroughly enjoys the outdoors and values exercise so walking them was a favourite pastime. Samantha is organized and punctual which are essential qualities for this job. Samantha is a kind and gentle person who loves life and gives 100% to anything task she takes on. Your dog would be lucky to have her in their life.

I have my own suite that has access to a grassy area out front. I am a few minutes walk to the graveyard trails. Dogs that stay with me will be taken on morning walk, mid afternoon walk and a longer nature walk in the early evenings!

A typical day

When watching your dog I want to make sure they get lots of exercise and outdoor time. I love going on long trail walks and enjoy some games of fetch. I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of cuddles and enjoys some tasty healthy treats!
