Personalized Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hello! I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pets! I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with a Specialty Certification in Emergency and Critical Care, CVT, VTS (ECC). I have 20 plus years of professional and personal experience! My dogs and other peoples' dogs are my life! Not only can I provide walks, play, love and comfort to your dog, but if your dog has special medical needs, I am more than well qualified to provide advanced care. I am available to go to your house for walks and drop in visits. In the alternative, your dog can join me in my house for daycare or overnight boarding and spend time with my dogs as part of the family! My availability is flexible; days/nights/weekends and holidays. Thank you for considering me to care for your dog and/or dogs! I do care for cats as well on a limited basis. **Note on Puppy Care** Everyone loves puppies, who doesn’t?!:) I of course take care of puppies for daycare, boarding and walks/visits. Puppies require a lot of time, care and attention, especially depending on their age; some require 24/7 attention, potty/crate training, in/outside frequently, up in middle of the night and frequent meals. In response to watching puppies from as young as 8 weeks up to 1 year old, I have developed separate, customized charges based on age. My rates on Rover are set for puppies that are 6 months-1 year old; once past 12 months of age, your puppy will be considered an “adult dog.” If you have a puppy that is 8 weeks - 6 months, the rates will be increased. You can select puppy for your request and we can then discuss customized rates based on your puppy’s specific needs. *all puppies must have age appropriate vaccinations* **Please note a Drop in Visit would be indicated should your pet (dog or cat) need medical care and/or assistance. Examples include medication or sub-cutaneous fluid administration as instructed by your veterinarian, care for diabetic pets (including insulin injections), and post-surgery care and check-ins. This is considered a different service and charge than a general walk for a dog. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and we can discuss further should you need this type of help with your pet. We can customize a plan! Rates may be adjusted based on time and level of care needed. **For the safety of all pets, any dogs staying at my house for boarding or daycare will need to show proof of current Rabies, Bordatella and Canine Influenza vaccines. My personal dogs are all current on vaccinations. Thank you and hope to hear from you! Samantha

Samantha was AMAZING!! This was our first time leaving Ollie with her, and she took time before the stay to really understand his personality and habits to make sure the visit went smoothly. Ollie had so much fun with Samantha and her dogs that I felt a little bad picking him up. Will definitely use her again in the future.

I was delighted to find Samantha on Rover. She provided a wonderful home environment and knowledgable and loving care for my pug Ruby. Samantha's frequent text updates and photos of Ruby offered tremendous reassurance that Ruby was getting the royal treatment. I would highly recommend Samantha. She is a dog-lover at heart and truly is passionate about providing excellent, attentive care! Thank you so much Samantha!

Samantha is absolutely wonderful! My puppy did daycare with her this past week and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her (and her three pups)! ☺️ She has excellent communication skills & updates me throughout the day on how my pup is doing. She is also very knowledgeable about all things dog. You can tell she really cares for my fur baby like one of her own! Finn can’t wait for more daycare days with Samantha, Reya, Wesley and Minnie! Thanks Samantha!! ❤️?
