Pet care experience

From reptile to large dog, I’m here

I’ve owned cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents since I was a child. I can accommodate unique requests while caring for your pets, whether it’s associated to their size, breed, age, temperament, special needs, and gaining trust. I’ve administered IV fluids to cats, and given oral medication to cats and dogs. I’ve raised cats from birth to adulthood. I welcome dogs of most sizes in our home (largest breeds will be welcome in the future once our kiddos have grown a bit more - 100lb cap.) Other than cats and dogs, over the years I have cared for: rats, mice, guinea pigs, snakes, exotic lizards, axolotls, arachnids, and fish.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 01, 2026

Samantha was GREAT and was available on short notice. Theo had a blast with his new friend, Kai! Picked him up and he passed out, he was so pooped from a great day of play! I will definitely reach out to Samantha next time I’m in town and need a dog sitter. Thanks for taking great care of my boy and for all the photo updates. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I so enjoyed working with Samantha! My 11yr-old pittie enjoyed a daily walk, glorious power lounging, and spirited wrestling with new BFF, Kai, their German Shepherd house pal. She came home happy and relaxed. Lots of pictures daily made travelling easy on us. Cookies were had by all! We'll be back!

Schedule

I work from home, 8am - 5pm. I am able to provide complete care for your dog by taking breaks to either walk, feed, play, and snuggle (snuggling can happen while I work too!) I have a designated spot on the couch that will be cushioned with blankets and their favorite chew toy where they can be right beside me (unless you would like them to keep off of furniture to mirror existing rules at your home, no worries!) I love a good frisbee or fetch session! If you got a sporty pup, I would love to indulge them!

Safety, trust & environment

While I am at home, I make sure that there is a space provided for your pet both upstairs and downstairs, whether they need a place in private that is quiet, or so they would like to be next to all the action with the family. I will provide physical supervision at all times while your pet is outdoors (backyard play time or potty break, walks, play at the park.) If your dog is unable to use stairs, please be sure to inform me and I will make additional arrangements for them downstairs to make sure they’re extra cozy!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me includes a morning outdoor potty break and playtime (throw toys and fetch, explore the yard, etc. in the backyard (est. 30 minutes.) Following time spent in the yard, we will go for a nice 20 - 30 minute walk in our neighborhood (time length of in walk and time of day the walk will happen is subject to change in accordance with local weather and temperature for the safety of your pet.) I have a small kiddie pool outside and a fun sprinkler toy for them to play and cool down in. Snuggles, snuggles, and more snuggles (if they’d like!) Pup get muddy or stinky during their stay with me?: Bathing is free of charge! Leave me with their shampoo.

PLEASE READ* My husband I have two young children together in our home. I cannot have any dogs in the home with a history of violence, or could potentially resource-guard parts of our living space that we frequent (for the safety of my family and your pet.) As of Saturday, June 14th a young male German shepherd puppy was added to our family. Please let know about your dog’s typical temperament, physical or vocal behaviors that may be unique to their expressions regarding wants/needs. I would also need to know if they require accommodations for special needs in order to make sure they are safe, comfortable, and provided the upmost care during their stay. Please let me know if you would like your dog leashed at all times while in the backyard, if they are escape artists, etc. One of our neighbors does have an energetic heeler who might want to sniff from the other side of the fence and exchange barks! Share with me your dog’s known commands and any training they have received so I may continue to maintain their progress while at my home. Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues ahead of time so I may prepare accordingly. Please provide: leash, food, any medication, favorite toys and bed/blanky so they feel comfortable. (Please let me know if you are unable to bring bed and/or blanket.) I have poop bags, save yours! :) + Shampoo (if you would like them sent back squeaky clean!) - again, free of charge. I currently only service up to two dogs maximum from one household (see additional dog rate in my Services tab.) I do not provide boarding/day care for more than one household at a time. If I am already booked with another owner for boarding/day care, I cannot book with a different owner and their pet(s) on the same dates or times. This decision is for the safety of your pet(s). Thanks for understanding!
