Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, medications, allergies or injuries. Please provide their feeding schedule and daily routine. Please let me know if your dog gets along with other dogs should we encounter other dogs while out walking. Please provide your Veterinary information.

A typical day

I believe in active play and enrichment, so I will provide toys/balls and make sure your pet receives morning, afternoon and evening walks. If your dog enjoys a slower pace of life, I make lots of time for one on one attention. I can give basic grooming like cleaning, brushing and paw care.

Friendly and trustworthy Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with years of experience as pet sitter and dog walker. I prioritize putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I love taking photos of your pet and will send you pictures and updates as often as you need, and please feel free to get in touch any time your beloved dog is with me as I know it’s difficult to leave them behind!

We used Samantha K. while visiting from out of town for a wedding, and we could not have been happier! It is always stressful leaving your pup in an unfamiliar city, but Samantha K gave us total peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the wedding celebrations knowing our dog was in great hands. They were incredibly professional, flexible with our shifting schedule, and truly loved our dog like their own. We highly recommend Samantha K to anyone—local or traveling!"

Sam is a dog lover, through and through! When she sees a dog, her heart just melts. She gives them so much love and affection, and she is excellent at giving them everything they need for a comfortable and safe stay. Sam is also so responsible and so responsive, giving cute photos and updates during the stay. Sam has been my #1 go-to dog sitter since she met my puppies 12 years ago! Highly recommended!!

Samantha is amazing with our pet!! We could not be happier with the love and care our dog receives from Sam. She treats our pup like her own and goes above and beyond ! It gives me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby is in such good hands when I can’t be there . The true test is how excited my dog gets every time Sam walks in the house. A true gem. I highly recommend Sam for all your pets needs !!
