Safety, trust & environment

I can easily adapt to special rules/boundaries when taking care of your pet in your home. If your pet will be visiting me, I have two cats that I can keep in the main bedroom for a short period of time with no risk of them getting out. At my home, your dog is free to roam and share my company in our cozy living room. If your dog is potty trained, I can take them out front to the grass that’s only two steps away for a quick potty break or walk them around the community.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

I can work with most personalities and quirks. I would need to know about their special behaviors/needs and I am happy to adapt to make sure they get the care they need.

A typical day

For dogs that are able to, I love to provide multiple outdoor excursions. For dogs that prefer to stay inside, I can provide them love and attention through indoor play, belly rubs, cuddles, and light grooming.

Pet care experience

I grew up with big dogs (Newfoundlands) my whole entire life and adore all types of dogs. All animals have different personalities and quirks that I do not mind adjusting to. I am a confident dog walker with a keen sense of safety in different environments. I will provide your pet with love and safety just as I treat my own.
