Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Care Professional

Life gets busy, and it’s easy to feel guilty when you don’t have as much time for your furry best friends as you’d like. That’s why I’m here to help! From walks and playtime to extra enrichment and socialization, even help with pet chores, I’ll make sure your pets get the love, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾 Hi, I’m Sammie! I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked in professional dog walking, boarding facilities, shelters, and even interned at a farm sanctuary! In addition to my hands on experience, I am also Fear Free™ Shelters certified, which further helps me support shy and/or anxious pups. I have worked with many other types of animals and I am a certified Feline behaviorist. I would be more than happy to care for any animal in your home! No matter your fur-baby’s personality, breed, age, etc.. I’ll treat them with patience, respect, and lots of love

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I take a gentle, thoughtful approach to pet care making sure each animal feels safe, understood, and cared for. Whether I’m visiting your home or taking your pet out for a walk, I make safety a top priority. I follow all care instructions closely and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own leaving everything clean, tidy, and as I found it. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in caring, reliable hands.

Sammie did double duty for us. First taking out my sister's lab and then our pugs. 3 very different dogs, but all very happy after their time with Sammie!

Sammie is one of the most caring and dependable people I know. She has been around animals her whole life and truly understands how to connect with them. As a certified pet trainer and lifelong animal lover, she always goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I would trust her with any pet, knowing they’re in excellent hands.

To give your pets the best possible care, I like to learn a bit about them ahead of time. Please share any medical or behavioral concerns, allergies, routines, or personality quirks, as well as their favorite activities (and anything they’d prefer to avoid!). If you’d like, I can bring a few extra enrichment items to keep your pet entertained, such as puzzle feeders, lick mats, or interactive toys for cats. If your pet has food sensitivities or allergies, please provide their own treats or food for these activities. All enrichment items I bring are cleaned between uses and taken home with me after each visit. For pets visiting my home, I do ask that they’re up to date on vaccines and parasite prevention to ensure a safe, healthy environment for everyone. They must also be 100% cat-friendly as I have my indoor cats and there are also some outdoor cats in the area.
