Safety, trust & environment

In clients houses, I make it my top priority to care for your space, respect your pets as I would my own home. I stick closely to your pets usual routine for feeding, walks and playtime. And I’ll always keep you updated with photos or messages to see how they’re doing.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or medications. I would also want to know their daily routine and favorite activities ahead of time. Along with any fears or triggers, and any house rules.

A typical day

It depends on what your pet loves most! I’m happy to tailor our time together to their personality and energy level. I can go on walks to the dog park and play fetch.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I’ve dog sat several times over the span of a decade. I’ve cared for dog breeds of all ages, sizes and personalities. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, and followed detailed care routines. I also love to stay active and will provide long walks in the neighborhood or local parks!

Samantha did an amazing job with our beloved pup. We left for 7 days and she stayed at our home with him. We got tons of pictures and updates which was so appreciated since we missed him like crazy! She was very respectful of our home and left it clean! We are so excited to have her back next month ❤️
