The best service for the best pets

**Please note: Due to being pregnant, I am currently only accepting small dogs and well-trained medium to large dogs for the safety of myself and my baby. Thanks for understanding!** I have been around, and cared for, my own dogs since I was a young kid. From 150 lb German Shepherds to 5 lb Yorkies, I have cared for them all! In 2021, I worked as a supervisor as Wickersham’s K9 Ranch in Marshville, NC. I groomed, walked, fed, administered medicine to, played with, and cared for dogs of all breeds! In 2022, I worked at a local dog grooming business, where I extended my knowledge of dog care. Since then, I have offered services on Rover on and off for the past three years, and have a list of references from pet owners, like you, upon request! I currently have two australian cattle dogs of my own; if you know anything about that breed, you know they’re high energy & high maintenance! From puppies to senior dogs, I am well rounded in caring for your furry family member. Thank you for taking the time to consider me!

Samantha took such great care of my boys! She took SO MANY PICTURES AND VIDEOS throughout the day and added them to a shared Google album for easy access. I loved loved loved the constant updates, they made me so happy and less stressed about being away. Tony (14 week old kitten) was on meds at the time, and Samantha took care of that. Mikey (10 year old dog) is sometimes a handful, but Samantha didn't seem to have any issues with him either. Would definitely recommend Samantha!

I cannot recommend Sam enough! She was so accommodating and willing to help with everything we needed for our 4 month old puppy! She was always giving us updates and communicated when she came and left. We had planned days for her to help, but she was also available when we last minute needed a sitter! Griffin, our puppy, loved spending time with her and was immediately her best friend! If you need a puppy/dog sitter or walker, Sam is you girl.

Samantha was a supervisor at a kennel, I had the pleasure of working with her. She would watch all pets very closely to ensure they were safe at all times during swim time, walks etc. If I needed my dogs to be watched I would definitely let her take care of them, I don’t let just anyone watch after my pets since they are like children to me but she has proven to be a very good caregiver for all pets. She would make sure after any messes were made that they were cleaned up and during feeding time she would make sure all pets got their desired food (some had allergies or specific foods for certain diets) as well as made sure all meds were given at specific times.

Samantha grew up with dogs in our home. She has always loved animals and had several pets; dogs and rabbits. She even found a baby rabbit in the woods and enlisted a friend to help her nurse it back to health. When she was in high school, she trained our mixed german shepherd and laborador on the basic commands. She is extremely patient but firm with animals. When she finished college, she found a position working with dogs as a doggie daycare manager. Samantha now has 2 Australian Cattle dogs of her own. These are not easy to train or to handle but Samantha has managed it.

Samantha got her first dog at the age of 11 and we have been a two dog family ever since. She currently has two dogs of her own and has shown great care and loving towards her dogs. Samantha has many years experience with taking care of and training dogs. Samantha is very dependable and trustworthy.
