Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, dietary needs, preferred exercise routines, behavioral quirks, medical conditions, or anything else you think may be important for me to know! I know every pet is unique, so don’t hesitate to let me know what you think works best for your pet and I will be happy to oblige!

A typical day

I love taking dogs on adventures to parks, trails, or even just around the neighborhood for a sniffing expedition. Playtime with toys, training sessions for mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles are also big favorites. Every dog is unique, so I tailor the activities to their individual preferences and energy levels!

Purrfectly tailored pet care & love

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember! I grew up taking care of my own dogs, and family and friends have previously relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and care for their furry loved ones while away. I believe in building trust with every pet I meet and I love getting to know their unique personalities! I also know how much you care for your beloved pet, so I find it important to send you continuous updates and pictures of how your furry companion is doing!

Samantha did a fantastic job taking care of my boy Trigger. She kept me up to date each day with how he was doing and sending me pics. And my house was super clean when we got home. Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.
