Professional care for small dogs

Pet care experience

Use promo code SAMANK35827 to receive $20 off your first booking with me on Rover! I absolutely love dogs! I have two small dogs of my own: Frankie and Loki. I also grew up around/took care of two senior dogs, and have experience taking care of multiple senior dogs throughout my experience as a dog sitter. I specialize in taking care of small breed dogs. This is typically dogs that are approximately 20lbs or less. My home is a great environment for the little ones who may be otherwise stressed in a boarding facility/kennel environment, as I typically only take in 2-3 dogs at a time and I will follow their home routine in terms of walks, feeding schedule, where they sleep etc as my goal is to help them feel as comfortable as possible while they are here.

Samantha did a great job taking care of our dogs for the holidays! We have added a second dog to our family and she did well with her first visit there. Our first dog has stayed with Samantha multiple times. We feel confident having her take care of our dogs because she always takes such good care of them!

Sam is awesome! Our fur baby Chipper tends to be a little anxious, so we were very nervous about leaving him for a longer trip. However, Sam settled both of our anxiety. She sent many “pup dates”, took the best photos of Chipper, and even got him a little doggie bed for his stay. We enjoyed our trip without any worries about him. He had an absolute blast running around the zoomies in the backyard (which has turf and chipper loves that in the desert!) and hanging out with the other pups/her two dogs. Also, he loved Sam and seemed to enjoying cuddling up next to her! We will 100% be using Sam again and will refer friends to her too! Thanks for being so awesome with Chip!

Samantha took great care of our dog and he had a fun time with the other dogs there! She provided helpful updates and photos while we were away. We are repeat clients and would recommend her to others looking for a sitter for their small senior dogs like ours.

I haven’t had anyone outside of family and very close friends take care of my older, spoiled dog in years. I was so nervous at even the thought of leaving him with someone. I am so happy to have found Samantha! She was so calm and welcoming. It was clear she loves dogs and she has two adorable pups of her own. She sent me pictures and updates. It was overall a great experience! I will definitely reach out if I need to travel without him again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a completely fenced yard with high walls and no avenue for a dog to dig out under the walls (there is a picture included in my gallery). The side gate remains locked at all times. There is also artificial grass throughout the entire yard which is perfect for the dogs to run around in when the weather is cooler. I do go outside with the dogs and remain outside every time they go out. My dogs are small and friendly but I will do a meet and greet before dog sitting your pup to ensure they all get along.

Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific behaviors or health issues/medications I need to be aware of. Please also confirm whether or not your dog is up to date on its vaccinations and whether or not your dog is spayed/neutered. Let me know when works best for you for a meet and greet! :) Please reach out at any time if you have any questions!

A typical day

Your pup is welcome to run around and get exercise in my fenced backyard. If they love walks I will also ensure they get to go for walks once or twice a day (or will match the frequency they get with walks at home). Or if they prefer to stay inside and snuggle and get pets that’s perfectly fine too!
