I used to work at a pet store full time before I got my 3rd human baby. Everyday, I would be helping and answering questions for customers to help with there pet needs. Everyday I take care of my dog and my cat, whether that is playing, go on walks, take the dog outside, clean up after the dog outside, clean the cat litter, clean pet fur off of everything, bathe, nails ect. Pets have been in my life forever and has always been apart of my daily routine.

I would need to know any health concerns and if you have a certain schedule for your fur baby. I want all my clients to feel safe and at peace knowing that there fur baby is in my care.

My son (5 year old) loves to play fetch with dogs and loves getting cuddles. Cats; If the cat has lots of energy I will play with them with there toys and also give lots and lots of attention.

Pets

Fur babies are family members

Pet care experience

I worked at a pet store for 6 years, and gained knowledge for cats and dogs. I’ve also had my dog for 8 years, she is a German Shepard/rottweiler. Different things we trained her on is, “indoor bark” so she does a whisper bark to not be loud. We trained her to be good with kids since I have 3 human babies. We have trained her to “walk beside” so she is not pulling. For other dogs, I did an over night stay for a 7 year old boxer, and I’ve dog walked a cocker spaniel who is 9 months. I have experience from puppy - senior dogs and can follow direction really well.

Everything with Samantha was awesome. Moxie is very high energy and came home tuckered. It's lovely that she has a companion to play with and enjoyed attention from the whole family. Great communication as well! Already looking forward to the next visit!

Sam was great to connect with! We met quickly and my dogs loved her instantly! We were able to be away leaving the dogs with no worries whatsoever and it’s definitely something we will do again! Thank you Sam!! Highly recommend her services!

Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!
