I pride myself in taking great care of my pets within our home - a healthy routine of exercise, attention and play time make a world of difference to any dog! On neighborhood walks I always carry protection and am a defensive dog mom!

Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference! I welcome any size, breed or temperament and base all of my care on the meet & greet with their parents

A typical day

Each pup is different and will appreciate a different level of play. High energy kiddos will benefit from play, walks, tug, puzzles. Calmer or older dogs are my favorite to lounge around with!

Samantha was great. Never an easy decision to let someone you don't know very well house sit for you while you are out of town, but when we met and talked with Samantha, we felt comfortable enough to her to try her out. We are so glad we did. She took care of our Great Pyrenees Winter, which was not easy since Winter is very shy and skittish around people. We have recently adopted Winter and had not left her alone overnight before. So when we did - Winter was not happy. Samantha really worked with her over the days to earn her trust and Winter went from having nothing to do with her, to tolerating her, to being happy to see her, to doing "zoomies" in the park. Samantha kept us informed, sending photos and even videos. When we got back, we fund she had done a whole day by day journal of the sitting and Winters improvement. fun to read! She also left us with some photos of Winter. A nice touch. Highly recommend Samantha.

I don't write a lot of reviews online but I am more than happy to do it in this case. I can only say that I trust very few people to care for my pets, and Samantha is hands down my first choice every time. She is extremely responsible and professional. I never doubt her integrity for a moment and I know that she genuinely loves animals. She cares for my dog as if he were her own, which means I can enjoy my time away from home without worry. She goes above and beyond my expectations by sending cute texts and updates of my dog. If you are in need of an animal sitter, you will love Samantha!!!

Samantha is the most gifted, empathetic, and reliable person I have ever met in caring for animals, both her own and those of others. She has extensive experience in the care and feeding of animals of all sizes, ranging from goldfish to dogs and cats, to regular engagements at a ranch that boards over forty horses and has its own menagerie of other animals. She is well known in the community as someone to whom you can with complete confidence entrust your pet and your home. She is my first call whenever I need someone to care for my "fur babies," and I am delighted to offer my unreserved recommendation of her services.
