You had me at bark!

Pet care experience

Taking care of all our furry friends has always been a great passion throughout my life. I have over two decades of experience providing the best care and love for all breeds, ages, and temperaments of dogs. I find pet care to be the most rewarding and therapeutic experience in my life. With my service, I vow to give you and your family the security and comfort knowing that your fur babies will receive all of the attention and patience that they deserve. In the past year, I have experienced the heartache of losing my beloved dog, Disko. He lived the most amazing and adventurous 16 years of his life traveling the country and experiencing all that life has to offer. He is forever in my heart as will any beloved animal who comes into my world. I currently have a very sweet and well trained 2-year-old dog named "Frankie". I adopted her from a local animal shelter when she was 3 months old in 2021. Frankie has a wonderful and active life as she has been passed the torch. Frankie enjoys playing with all dogs, loves to snuggle, and is super friendly with people and children. She was recently introduced to 2 baby ducks and was very gentle and patient. I can provide walks/hikes/adventures for your dogs with Frankie as well as on their own. I am currently up to date on positive reinforcement training and educating myself daily on new obedience training taught by experts in the field. Thank you for taking the time to read my summary and I look forward to meeting you all.

Samantha is a rockstar. We left our 10 week old puppy in her care for a long weekend and he absolutely LOVED his time there. Her dog, Disco, played so well with him and we came back to a very very happy dog. When we left him, he was still struggling with eating enough and by the time we picked him up, he was wolfing down his food. I'm so appreciative of Samantha making it easy to leave ourdog with someone else and would recommend her to anyone.

I came home to a happy healthy dog and a clean house! What more could you ask for? Samantha was great. She is very warm and caring and clearly loves dogs. She was responsible and I felt very peaceful being away for a long stay knowing that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely bok her again.

Samantha absolutely rocks. She did an amazing job with my husky puppy. She understands how the breed behaves and was very knowledgeable about the types of interaction he needs. My dog was completely wiped out when I picked him up. I highly recommend Samantha as a sitter!

Samantha is a great person who you can truly tell has a love for animals. Everytime my dog has came home from a stay, he is smiling and usually tired from a recent adventure! She is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend to anyone
