Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pretty spacious apartment complex with a closed off balcony on the ground floor. Even though, I do not have a back or front yard, it is my top priority to make sure your fur baby gets some fresh air and sunshine on frequent walks! There are no other animals in my apartment so it is perfect for any pet with special needs or a pet that just needs to be isolated due to their age, breed, etc. The complex is also very calm and quiet throughout the week and all hours of the day.

Information Samantha L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs of any kind. Also, please let me know if your dog is social and can be around other dogs in a public setting. If not that is also okay! Any important information is helpful to help me create the perfect day/environment.

A typical day

Maintaining my physical fitness is super important to me and I would love to share that with your dog! Especially living in San Diego, I love hitting dog friend beaches and hiking trails on the regular. Your pup can join me on my daily jogs if they’re up for it! If we’re having some down time we can play tug-of-war until one of us gets tired!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a little girl, pets were always an important part of my life. From the moodiest dogs to the friendliest snakes, owning a pet taught me valuable life lessons while also enriching my emotional well-being. My parents adored animals and felt that having them throughout my life would teach me responsibility, discipline, and patience. They were absolutely right! Throughout the years I learned how to train cats and dogs, monitor their health and wellness, and give them a happy loving home to feel secure in. I have experience with puppies and recently took on adopting senior animals in the past to learn more about their special needs so they can live a calm and comfortable life. Kindness is my favorite approach when caring for a furry friend!

Samantha did a great job watching the kitties. She followed the care instructions and extended efforts by cleaning up some messes from the cats and even gave our jumping spider some attention during my trip. Quick communication and responses which kept us at ease.
