I like dogs more than most people!

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my entire life! I have worked at veterinary hospitals and am able to incorporate what I have learned there to care for clients' furry family member. If a dog has medications that are required I am able to administer them. I can also provide some grooming services, like nail trims and baths if they are needed. I have house sat and took care of someone's three dogs for two years in a row, each year staying for two weeks. I am able and willing to walk any dog in any condition. Any dog that I watch will be kept happy and healthy with plenty of play and activity! :) I am now a full time EMT but will be available to watch pets at my own residence. I will allow owners to come over and see where their furry family member will be staying. They will still be provided with lots of love and attention! If you have any questions regarding boarding please feel free to ask!

Wonderful service! I felt very comfortable trusting our home and pets with Samantha. She sent us pics of the dogs everyday and ensured us they were all doing great, which left us to relax while on vacation.

Sam was great with our dogs. She made us feel comfortable about leaving our dogs with her. Very happy to have found Sam.

After successfully running my own business here on rover, and being the top sitter in Alaska, I decided to retire to work full time in the dog industry. It was then that I met Sam. We are coworkers at a local dog daycare, where she impressed me with her compassion, work ethic, friendly personality, and amazing talent for working with dogs. No matter how shy, scared, or intimidating the dog, she can handle them. We regularly foster extremely skitttish and shy dogs. Within a few days, she gains their trust and love. She does everything with all her heart, and always puts the animals first. I would trust almost no one with my fur-baby. But I would never hesitate to leave Kirby in her care. I would also trust her with my family's special needs/ wheelchair-bound dogs. I couldn't hope for a better person to refer my former clients to.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

If the dog has any medications that are required and if the dog has any special requirements for outside: coats/booties, needing to be on a leash (if they jump fences)

A typical day

I can provide play either at your house or at a local dog park if your pet prefers to be at a park. I enjoy rewarding good behavior with plenty of treats (approved treats, of course!) and making them earn them by following basic commands.
