A Doggone Good Time Starts Here🐾
Woof woof! My name is Samantha, and I absolutely adore fur babies – they’re like my children.With years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds, I’m dedicated to providing your pup with a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away. I’ve had dogs throughout my whole life and developed a deep passion for animal care from an early age. As a child, I volunteered at the Humane Society on the weekends, and during an alternative spring break in college, I spent a week volunteering at a pet sanctuary in Kentucky. I have over seven years of professional experience working with dogs in a boarding facility, where I specialize in caring for dogs that require medication, senior dogs, and those with special needs. I have experience with various breeds, sizes, and energy levels, and am skilled handling each one with care. Additionally, I am trained in reading canine body language and responding appropriately, as well as managing behavioral issues and safely intervening in dog conflicts. Above all, I treat each dog with the same love and attention I would give my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your furry companion(s).

Ratings and reviews
Samantha was great, she kept us informed about our fur babies and took great care of them. It really put our minds at ease while we were traveling out of the country. All in all very dependable and would definitely book again!!!
Thanks for watching Mayzie again, Samantha. I know you always do your best to give her the care she needs.
Samantha was available with short notice. She is specific, reliable and communicative. She is a very caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend!
Samantha was wonderfully patient and kind for my very old boy, especially considering I was reluctant to leave him behind. I loved hearing the updates and felt very comfortable he was getting such great love and care. I'd gladly leave him in Samantha's capable care again
Samantha is the best! We recently had the pleasure of working with Samantha, and I cannot recommend her enough. Leaving our two senior dogs, Iggy and Pip, in someone else’s care in our home was a new approach as we previously boarded them at pet hotels. They both have specific needs—picky eating habits, unusual routines, and require a bit of extra TLC due to their age. But Samantha handled everything with such compassion, attention, and professionalism that we were instantly put at ease. From our first conversation, she made the effort to really understand who Iggy and Pip are—not just their care instructions, but their personalities, comforts, and quirks. She was patient with Pip’s mealtime drama (he gets sick of different foods regularly) and attentive to Iggy’s anxious moments too. They each have their own routine, and she respected those down to the smallest detail. Throughout our time away, Samantha kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which made all the difference. We came home to two happy dogs who clearly felt safe and cared for in her presence. If you have pets who need a little extra attention or just want peace of mind knowing your dogs are in the best hands, Samantha is it. We’re so grateful to have found her—and so are Iggy and Pip.
Samantha went above and beyond for my dog. Gave me specific updates and cared very well for my dog.

Schedule
I’m currently attending college on a part-time basis, which allows me flexibility to dedicate time to your pet(s). I’m available on most days for play dates and am open to scheduling boarding services as well.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a securely fenced yard, providing a safe and spacious area for play. Additionally, I have dogs of my own to keep your pet company during their stay. If needed, I also have a crate available for use to ensure your pets comfort and safety.
Pets
A typical day
In my home, I prioritize supervise playtime to ensure the dogs are safe and engaged. I incorporate enrichment games that stimulate their minds and provide positive reinforcement, often rewarding good behavior with a spoonful of pumpkin or a slice of banana. My pets are also allowed to enjoy antlers, but I supervise them during this time, and they are stored away when I am not at home. Recently, we’ve been enjoying car rides to listen to Christmas music and admire the holiday lights. I do not allow my dogs to have table scraps, and I’m careful to avoid any treats with unknown or potentially unsafe ingredients.
