Pet care experience

Vet technician experience

Animals are everything to me! I was previously a veterinary technician, however, life happened and I had to find a higher paying job to accommodate life changes. I have grown up with animals my whole life; cats, dogs, rabbits, exotic birds. I am very knowledgeable, reliable, understanding, easy going, caring, professional and kind. I will treat your pets as if they are my own; meaning they will be absolutely spoiled and loved while in my care! I can provide additional services; nail trims, baths, ear cleanings, etc. You name it and I’ll work with you!

She did what she could with a very anxious dog. Thank you so much and sorry for the damage she caused!

Samantha did a great job with the doggie daycare for our doodles. She has a large fenced in yard where the puppies can run and play! Will seek her services again in the future! Thank You!

Sam is great and her place is great for dogs. Lots of room to run around outside and nice clean kennels. My dog had a blast there.

We used Samantha for the first time to watch our little guy, Ollie, and she was everything we were hoping for — and then some! From the start, her communication was prompt and reassuring, which immediately put us at ease. It was clear she has a genuine sense for an animal's needs, and Ollie took to her right away. She sent daily updates throughout our time away, including an adorable holiday-themed photo that honestly made our day. Knowing Ollie was happy, comfortable, and in great hands made all the difference. You can just tell when your pet is at ease, and he absolutely was. We will 100% be rebooking with Samantha — no question about it. If you're looking for a pet sitter who truly cares and goes the extra mile, look no further. Thank you, Samantha — Ollie had a wonderful time! 🐾

Samantha is amazing with Marley. Marley loved being there. She was able to run and play in a big yard that unfortunately we dont have. Samantha even trimmed her nails for us without asking for extra money. She is a great caregiver!

Safety, trust & environment

I have recently opened a doggie hotel behind our house. Each doggie “room” includes a covered porch to enjoy the nature. The doggie hotel has AC/heat, LED lighting, fully hoseable, continuous drainage and much more. It use veterinarian grade cleaners/sanitation. There are two fenced in areas on the property that allows your pets to be able to run free and have a great time! The largest fenced in area being an acre! We are working on one more fenced in play areas for the pups to enjoy. They are not limited to the doggie hotel, boarded pets are welcome to our house as long as they are cat and child friendly. There are plenty of toys to play with but you can of course bring your pets favorite toy(s) just so they feel more comfortable. I recommend you to bring their dog bed/toys to make them feel more at home. Please let me know ahead of time if your pet is dog/cat/food/toy aggressive. I do not have my pets interact with others unless the client is ok with it and I feel comfortable with it. I welcome all sizes, ages and breeds into my house!
