Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the dog's usual routine and important details like how often they're used to being taken outside, favorite toys, whether they're allowed treats, any tricks they know, feeding schedule, favorite activities, any behavioral concerns, unique behaviors, and/or any other relevant information!

A typical day

I take dogs I watch on a walk twice a day and they get plenty of playtime and exercise both from me and from my own dog. We explore different parts of the neighborhood and nearby Kern Park. I'm always aware of my surroundings and other dogs, people, how the dog is doing and any behavioral cues they're exhibiting, etcetera. I'm also great about sending photos and updates to owners.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sam, and I have a huge love for animals — especially dogs. I live on the first floor of a duplex in Riverwest and work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m currently available for dog walking, dog day care, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Pets in my care get plenty of cuddles, playtime, exercise, love, and attention. I treat every animal like they’re one of my own. To make sure every pet gets calm, focused care, I take a limited number of bookings each day. I typically take up to two walks or drop-in visits per day, depending on timing and location. If I’m providing dog day care in my home, I usually don’t schedule additional walks or drop-ins that day so everyone gets the attention they deserve. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Samantha was amazing my new dog Sharkboy! She took a pretty last minute booking with a meet and greet and all went well and she took him in for basically an entire Saturday. She sent pictures of them having fun and really took great care of him as he's coming out of his shell more and more. Her dog V and her cats are also super friendly and welcoming! Would highly recommend!

Samantha was a terrific caretaker for Griffey! She was very flexible and understanding of our timing for pick up and drop off. She also sent us a great amount of photo and text updates about how Griffey was doing throughout the stay. She asked thoughtful questions and clearly cares very much about delivering high quality care for pets and their owners. I'd use Samantha again and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a boarding option in Milwaukee!

Samantha was great! She was amazing at keeping me updated on Bella’s stay. Every picture sent, Bella looked as though she fit right in. She seemed relaxed and content. Thank you Samantha!
