Dog Days of Sam

Pet care experience

My name is Sam and I have a huge love for animals, especially dogs. I currently live in the first floor of a duplex in Riverwest in Milwaukee and work from home full-time. I have two cats and a dog, and am currently fostering an 80-lb, 3 year old chocolate lab. I can board dogs at my home ONLY if your dog is good with both cats AND dogs. I am able to housesit at your home if my dog is also able to stay there - and am only able to do so when I am NOT fostering. I am otherwise available for some dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Any pets I meet, watch, and have had are always pampered and well taken care of. Caring for your pets will involve lots of cuddling, walking, playing with toys, and getting exercise! If there are any additional questions, please don't hesitate to get in contact with me. *Availability for each service - please see my calendar but this is also subject to change and may vary depending on my schedule/circumstances!* **For longer-term services such as house sitting, I prefer some notice - 5-7 days minimum in advance is much appreciated! For other services, I prefer at least 2 days notice. I will always try my best to accommodate a last minute request but unfortunately cannot guarantee anything. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.** ****ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/PLEASE READ**** -If your dog is over 9 months of age and is not spayed/neutered, I am not comfortable watching them. -I require that any dogs or cats I care for are house-trained and up to date on vaccinations. -During holidays, as well as the days preceding and following holidays, I charge a higher rate for my services due to the busier season. I would be more than happy to answer any questions and appreciate your understanding!

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!

Was a little nervous to use Rover again after a bad experience, but Samantha put us at ease right away. She sent me a message when she arrived, lots of photos and updates. My girls loved her, and Samantha was amazing with them, she even got my pug to take a pill which can be difficult. Will definitely use Samantha again, highly recommend!!!

Samantha was so great with our kitten on our most recent trip! This was the second time we've had her check on our cat and she did an awesome job! We loved getting the pictures at each visit. It was so much easier to relax knowing that our cat was in great hands!!

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the dog's usual routine and details like how many times a day they need to be taken out to go to the bathroom, favorite toys, whether they're allowed treats, feeding schedule, favorite activities, any behavioral concerns, or unique behaviors.

A typical day

I take dogs I watch on a walk twice a day and they get plenty of playtime and exercise. We explore different parts of whatever neighborhood we happen to be in and the Oak Leaf trail/surrounding areas if at my home. I'm always aware of my surroundings and other dogs, people, how the dog is doing, etcetera. I'm also great about sending photos and updates to owners.
