Certified Dog Trainer on 5 Acres

I have owned dogs for over 15 years . I worked for many years as a Basic Obedience Instructor for a dog daycare . I’m certified in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR. Now I own a small 5 acre horse farm in Eastern CT and have 3 dogs of my own . I’m a 3X Marathoner so I really enjoy taking your hyper kiddos out for runs/hikes as well !

Safety, trust & environment

For drop in visits at clients houses I prefer a detailed written schedule so I can keep your pet as comfortable and on the same routine as possible . I feel keeping the same schedule with added additional exercise keeps your dog relaxed while your away .

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sam!! Very professional, loving and efficient. We received multiple texts, pictures and videos while we were away that put me at ease. Sam has excellent communication and a suggested a meet and greet and a dry run through that went great. Our dogs were so well tempered when we got home and could tell that they had a great week with Sam! We will definitely book with her again, 4 puppy paws up!

I can not say enough positive things about Sam. She was awesome. She took the time to send me updates, videos, and pictures. She is trustworthy, dependable, loving, caring, timely, respectful-just all around great. I wish I had found her years ago. I don’t think I will ever be able to use anyone else to watch my babies. They love her and me being a worry wart actually had a worry free mini getaway for the first time ever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to Love your fur babies while you are away!!

Samantha was awesome with our two boys! We took a day trip so she came over twice to take them out. We loved the picture updates of our boys throughout the day. We will definitely be using her in the future!

Samantha was great! She not only was flexible about coming to meet me the same day we connected, she was a complete pleasure to meet with. My pups immediately connected with her and I knew she would be a great match. While with the pups she sent lots of pics and videos, which made my work day so much better! I would recommend Samantha and will continue to use her going forward with my pups!

Samantha-Nicole was a perfect fit for me and Bob Marley...you can do a meet and greet first which I feel was important...it allowed me to answer questions provided by rover.com about leash behavior...any food aggression...coming into contact with cats...squirrels and other dogs etc...Her qualifications are over the top...has horses...4 dogs...does obedience training...and works at a doggie daycare...and is CPR certified...she comes highly recommended and I will for sure have absolutely no problem using her again...we loved her!

Schedule

I currently work split shift so dogs are inside for no more than 4 hours at a time . My entire 5 acres is double fenced so the dogs have so much room to play and get about 1-2 hours of free play in the yard before and after I’m at work : as well as the ability to accompany me on any run as I’m currently in marathon training and run 2-16 miles daily before work .

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Samantha-Nicole can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
Please leave me a detailed daily schedule as well as any notes for strange quirks your pet may have ( only likes to sit on the left side of the couch type of thing ) hehe ?
