Pet care experience

Because pets are family too!!

I’ve spent years caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have lots of hands-on experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, basic training, grooming, feeding, medication administration, and pets who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m comfortable reading animal behavior and adjusting to each pet’s individual routine and personality. With several dogs and cats of my own, animal care is genuinely part of my everyday life. Whether your pet wants lots of playtime and adventures or would rather curl up for cuddles, I’ll care for them like one of my own. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

We wake up early in the morning- around 5:30/6 am and let the dogs out first thing! After they've been out for a bit and have had the chance to go potty we then feed the pups breakfast. After breakfast, we have a play session and lots of cuddles (if your pup likes cuddles). Your pup will have the opportunity to run around our fenced in, 3 acre yard, play with other dogs and children (unless requested otherwise) and of course, get lots of treats and love! I promise to care for you fur baby as I do my own- with love, respect, and patience!

Samantha was great, and spent plenty of time with my dog during her overnight visit. She sent several photo pupdates, which I loved. She has a great space- clean home and an amazing outdoor area. Thanks Samantha, we'll be back!

Samantha did an excellent job of my pitbull puppy this week! She was very tired when she came home from daycare and very excited to see Samantha each day!

Samantha was amazing with my Australian Shepard puppy when I was out of town. I came home to her sitting and laying down on command! My pup was well cared for and loved. Samantha will be my go to pet sitter and trainer from here on out.

I currently am a stay at home mom to 3 boys, ages 8, 5 and 2. We have 4 dogs, 2 Aussie pups, both almost a year old (in my kennel/outdoor area)! As well as a 4 and 2 year old Aussie (in my kennel/outdoor area) All have great temperaments and love people and other dogs! They may be a little loud at first but they mean absolutely no harm! We do daily training sessions at home for about 20 minutes each session. I would love to incorporate your pup into my sessions for extra practice and experience!
