Pet care experience

I prefer pets over people!

I have been taking care of pets ever since I was a child. I grew up on a farm. I have more than 20 years experience with large and small animals. I have a lot of patience for animals and understand their needs are unique to each individual animal. I have experience in potty training, dogs and cats both. I have experience in cleaning after large farm animals as well as administering vaccinations and medications to them.

Our dogs had the best time! Samantha sent us pics and a video of them and kept in touch while they were in her care, she obviously is a dog lover and has a lovely clean home and her yard is fully fenced and has a large grassy area . We are so pleased with the whole experience!

Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.

Samatha was so wonderful with my doggie Sent us pictures and I could tell he was in excellent hands. Made me feel at ease with leaving him with her. It’s been years since I have left my dog with anyone.

Samantha has watched our dogs multiple times and is always amazing. It has given us such peace of mind for our dogs to have a familiar place to go while we’re on vacation. She treats our dogs as part of the family.
