A happy dog is a happy human.

Pet care experience

when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets says if they're my own and that means family. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing.

Samantha and her dog Daisy were great companions for my pups while we were out of the country for 10 days over the holidays. She updated us with pics and videos and our pups seemed happy, healthy and well taken care of.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

The following is information I would like to know before a service: any aggressive tendencies, triggers, or medication's. If your dog is not OK with other dogs then I won't be able to board or housesit because I have a dog of my own. I would also like to know the frequency of texting and pictures you would like. Everyone has a different preference and I try to please all of my clients. also when sending your initial inquiry to me, please include a general location of where you are. I often get people who are way too far out for me to consider and I like to know that first because if I'm not an option I don't wanna waste your time. if your dog is on a special diet please tell me otherwise I will do my best to get them fed every day but not so much care about the food preference. It's often hard to make sure your dog eats their food with her multiple dogs in the home so my goal during meal times is to get them fed and stay happy. I would also like to know what your basic rules are and routines. I try my best to stick to their normal routine of things so when you get your dog back they are not out of whack with it.

A typical day

I try to include more than just walks in the daily schedule. Walking is a big part of it but there's so much more out there to do. If your dog is OK in the car we can go hiking or we frequently visit my parents house where they have 13 acres. I also have dog games and training which is another good way to get exercise in.
