I love meeting new pups!
Pet care experience
**Can also care for whelping/pregnant mother dogs and litters if needed. A discount will be provided. Everyone needs a break.***When I was young I would bring home every stray dog I could find and my parents would help me patch it up and find it a good home...or keep it! At one point we had 8 dogs and 2 cats! From the age of 5 I knew I wanted to be a "doggie doctor" and am still aspiring towards that goal. I'm certified in Fear Free which means I will do everything in my power to make sure your pet's stay is as safe, calm, and happy as possible; and if anything were to happen I am able to know what to do to de-escalate the situation before anything happens. I have 10 years of experience working as a tech at various animal hospitals. Your pup will be completely safe with me! If it’s a drop in, I just basically hang out with your kitties/pups! During this time, any medication, food, water, and obviously bathroom will be taken care of as well. Any messes will be cleaned up and sanitized. Then it’s just playtime, and picture time!! If it’s a walk I do what’s instructed of me however the dog must not be able to pull me down or I will refuse care. If your pet has a specific path to take or route they like to sniff then just let me know! Or if they like going to a nearby dog park.! Dogs crated/caged will be given a treat before being put back inside the before mentioned object. I will provide if you don’t. 🤣 No pup should go in a cage and not know they’re good for doing what they’re told and going to be alone again. Just a bit about me! Also we JUST moved to a 3 story end unit townhome with an unlimited dog capacity and a 2 year old pup that loves to play and loves her new open living room and being able to go out to her FENCED yard as much as she wants. My senior 10 year old mix was diagnosed with Cushings about 8 months ago so he’s… not exactly much fun to play with these days. We love play dates and any size pup is fine as we raised a Pomeranian and she treated it like a stuffed animal and didn’t even use her teeth. Just nudged him around. Cutest thing ever. She wouldn’t hurt a fly unless they were aggressive. If they’re aggressive I need to know before hand so they can go strictly in our entertainment/ laundry/ basement. They will have no contact with my dogs that way and there’s a door down there that I can let them out at any time!! No kitty cats. And unfortunately Ellie developed neurological problems so we had to send her back to her breeder. So we no longer have her. We have only Cali and Alex. 🙁 I miss lots of fur babies being around so feel free to book for anything!!
Reviews
Samantha takes excellent care of our pets and treats them as if they were her own. We had an emergency situation that was out of her control, and she handled it perfectly. Excellent dog sitter!!
Samantha was amazing!!! She's got the 5 stars for good reason. Great care for the kitten and fish also helped keep my plants alive which were struggling. So thankful and will go-to Samantha in the future as well.
Samantha K. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
She’s fabulous!
About Samantha K.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
They MUST get along with kids and other dogs. I can freely come and go most days at certain times because my husbands work schedule is extremely flexible. I make sure they have fresh water ALWAYS. Follow any type of schedule left for me. And overall make sure the pups have a fun time. Previous veterinary technician.

Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet
Does your pup prefer a certain path? Do you have a particular harness for your dog or do you have a fenced in yard? Are they usually kept in a kennel? Do you want them fed?
A typical day
It’s all up to YOUR doggo! If they like to go on walks then we can go on more walks, if they like to go for a swim… we have a dog pool that’s never even been used!(with doggo parents permission of course!) Honestly it’s completely up to what your dog likes to do because my kids and family are up for any adventure! We love playing indoors if your pup is a lazy bum or if you have an active baby we love our outdoor activities!

Availability
We have our own dogs so pet care fits into our daily routine! We take daily family walks that involve our own doggie! It’s no big deal to add another pupper to that. Or obviously for drop in clients they will be walked however you want them want as long as they don’t have the ability to escape or pull me down.
