Availability
As a homeschooling mom, I’m home most days and can offer a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I’m available for meet and greets, drop-offs, pick-ups, and visits Monday through Saturday, and I do my best to work with your preferred times whenever possible. Sunday Availability: Please note that I am unavailable for boarding pick-up/drop-off and drop-in visits on Sundays between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM. If you have specific timing requests, feel free to message me — I’m happy to discuss options to best accommodate you and your pet.

About Samantha M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I offer a clean, secure, and hazard-free home for your pets. My space is thoughtfully divided with baby gates to create separate areas for feeding times or when your pet needs a break from activity. Fresh water is always available through a flowing filter system to ensure cleanliness. Dogs are only kenneled at night or when I need to leave the house—this is for their safety and to protect my home. Indoors, your pets will enjoy a wide selection of toys, from soft and squeaky to durable options for super chewers, plus bones, antlers, and horns to keep them happily occupied. Outdoor playtime includes balls and other fun activities to help your dog burn off energy—I believe a tired dog is a happy dog! I provide daily updates and pictures so you can stay connected while you're away. Drop-ins: During drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets safe outdoor time—either on leash or in a secure, fenced-in area—for potty breaks and play. Fresh water and food are provided at every visit. For cats, I offer fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of attention, petting, or playtime according to their needs. I send detailed updates and pictures at each visit so you can rest easy.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet
Vaccinations required: Rabies, DHPP, Boardatella (within the last 6mths of boarding) are required. (Please provide a clear picture of Vaccination records) I am currently unable to accept bully breeds at this time, unless under the age of 6 months, with a meet and greet. Female dogs may not be in heat or close to heat. An additional fee will apply if a dog goes into heat during their stay. Intact (not neutered) males, will include a $5 night/day care fee.
A typical day
I have four children who absolutely love all animals and enjoy spending time with our furry guests. Our family includes an active dog and a senior pup who’s slowing down but still enjoys playtime. I love playing fetch and games with dogs both indoors and outside. We have baskets of toys in every room that the dogs are welcome to enjoy anytime. If your dog prefers to relax, I’m happy to offer plenty of belly rubs and cuddles instead. I also enjoy spoiling dogs with treats and keep a wide variety on hand—from training treats to collagen sticks and everything in between. (Please let me know if your dog has any food allergies or dietary restrictions.)

Pet care experience
*I carry additional professional pet sitters insurance* **Cat and Dog First Aid Certification-American Red Cross Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more. Currently, I share my home with a playful 3-year-old Mini Aussie and a gentle 7-year-old Rough Collie. My children also adore animals — one even dreams of a future career in animal care! In our home, pets aren’t just visitors; they’re treated like family. What sets me apart is the genuine love, attention, and personalized care I give to every animal. I go out of my way to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly at home. Whether it’s extra cuddle time, active play, or helping them settle in, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and patience. I am also able to administer medications, including oral medications and injections such as insulin. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care to give you peace of mind while you're away.
