Information Samantha P. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I will schedule a meet-and-greet to see how our dogs interact. When you leave your pet in my care, I will want to know about how they get along with other dogs and humans. I will also want to know if they are potty and/or crate trained, and if they know any fun tricks (sit, lay, paw)! I will want to know about your dog’s typical routine, and any special instructions you have for me to ensure your pet has a wonderful, stress-free and fun stay with me.

A typical day

My number one priority is your dog’s safety so I will base our activities around the instructions left for me. During your pet’s stay, I will do my best to make our time together as fun and comfortable as I can within those boundaries. I love playing with dogs and their toys and getting as much quality one-on-one time with them as possible. If you leave any toys with us, you can be sure we’ll use them! I am lucky enough to have a front yard that is dog-friendly, so there’s plenty of fun to be had, even when we’re close to home. If your dog is up for it, our days will consist mostly of outdoor activities, including log walks on the trail that is close to my home. I love to spend my time exploring it with a furry friend, taking advantage of the dog-friendly places near me, and the wonderful people in my part of town. Because I live an active life, it’s easy for me to plan activities that will keep your dog well-exercised and active.

Samantha was so sweet to our 2 kitties making sure they got the love they needed. She sent amazing updates, pictures and even offered to water my sad plant. This is the second time we booked with her and will book again.

Samantha watched our 2 cats for a week, this was our first time leaving them this long and she was great with them. She was very communicative with us and active with our cats, sending great pictures. Should we need another sitter, we will definitely rebook.
