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
Reviews
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!! ❤️?
Samantha is the best. Her experience with dogs shows and I feel completely at ease when she takes care of my puppy, Arlo. I would highly recommend!
Samantha is great. She has great communication and wants to make sure you and your pup are comfortable before booking. Our dog Frank had a great time, we got lots of pictures and updates which I love. We knew it was a successful stay when we went to pick Frank up and he immediately ran to Samantha to tell her his people were there. We will definitely work with Samantha again!
The first time I met Samantha and introduced her to my dog at her home, I was so relieved. She was exactly the sitter I had been looking for! Her home is clean and comfortable and you can tell she really knows and loves dogs. We boarded our dog with her for 2 weeks and I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend!

Home
Information Samantha F. would like to know about your pet
For hosting dogs in my house: Please let me know of any health conditions or concerns, anxiety issues, special needs, or food allergies. I have plenty of extra treats, bowls, dog beds, crates of various sizes, and dog toys! Unless your pet is attached to anything in particular, the only thing your pet needs to come with is a collar with ID tags, leash and their own dog food and treats. Feel free to ask me any questions!
A typical day
Nice yard area, quiet, wood lined neighborhood, dog park up the street. Depending on your dog, we can go for short or long walks, playtime with toys or my dogs. Nice, fully enclosed deck for relaxing in good weather, plus a baby pool for water dogs! Quiet time separate from my dogs is available as well!
