About Samantha K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have lived on estates as a property manager, and ran my own home repair business for several years. I’m good at handling emergencies, and enjoy fixing things when I have the opportunity
Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet
I’m more than happy to work with you on greetings and other behaviors as I know how hard it can be to find someone to practice knocking on then door etc…also please let me know if there are any treats restrictions
A typical day
Depending on the dog and the energy level, we can do guided walks all the way up to off leash fetch and time at the lake. My dogs love the chuck-it and I’m happy to bring it along and will always bring my treat pouch.

Lifelong lover of all animals!
Pet care experience
I am comfortable with all kinds of dogs and needs. I personally care for a GSD and a Heeler mix, and am comfortable with rambunctious and large dogs. Both of my dogs practice loose leash walking, and I love using our walks as time to tire their brains as well as their bodies. I can give medications, including subq and other injections. And I’m working on becoming a certified trainer, but for now I do not offer training services.
Reviews
I highly recommend Samantha as a pet sitter, especially if you have pets with high anxiety that leads to behavioral issues. Her ability to calm and connect with dogs is phenomenal. Both of my dogs have anxiety and one has trust issues, but Samantha quickly made my Milo her friend. During her visits, Samantha communicated with me often and sent pictures so that I would know my pups were okay. She loved on them as I would. I cannot express how much all of this meant to me and how it put me at ease. Samantha has earned my dogs’ trust and mine. I will definitely use her services again!
Samantha is a dog lover through and through. She is always willing to be patient with dogs as they warm up and when they’re trying something new. She knows how to adapt to make them feel most comfortable and happy. My dog is always more excited to see her than me :)
Samantha is a lifelong dog person. She totally gets dogs, and has experience adopting and training dogs with behavioral challenges and creating a calm and low-stress environment for them. Samantha is meticulous when it comes to details--walks/exercise, feeding schedules, consistency with positive behavioral reinforcement--so you can certainly trust her to maintain you and your pet's routines while under her care. I cannot recommend Samantha enough to spend time with your pup - whether for a walk or a week! She has a heart for all animals, you and your pet will be pleased!
