Experienced handler of all breeds

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my entire life and have been working with them professionally for 4 years! I am patient and understanding of ALL breeds. More comfortable than most handling bullybreeds and/or dogs that are reactive. I will ensure you your dog will not be put into a situation he/she will not enjoy. I have a limited availability while I work my way out of my current job, but I look forward to having repeat clients. My special skills include, PetCPR + first aid certified, proficient handler and very responsible caregiver. I have handled just about every type of dog there is out there, and am very eager to meet other breeds. I am a natural about finding what makes them shine. I make scared and timid dogs feel safe with ease and am always on their time. You won’t be disappointed!

Sami is my daughter and I am not just writing this because she is my daughter..she has grown as a child loving all animals and has always shown love for the ones least cared for...Sam grew up with many dogs always taking care of them walking, feeding, loving, giving attention, baths, cutting nails, grooming, etc. I watched Sami grow from the time we first moved to Deerfield NH and found our first pet in a store in Hooksett, NH when we met Max our first puppy who was a 6 month oversized lab living in a pet store and she talked me along with her brother bringing him home...when Max came to our house her stepbrother brought two pitbulls to our house rescued from a fighting pit in Manchester, NH..Sam stepped in loving these dogs bringing them together 3 dogs one house and loving them all together...our family grew with grand babies and she introduced every dog to every grand baby that came along..not once did these dogs love these babies.....We ended up with another pitball from her sisters dog from NY...Tucker her dog now moved out with her...we still have one pitbull Dutchers 14yrs old living with us...Sam still visits Dutchess and made us aware of a problem with Dutchess who has beaten cancer because of her awareness...she found her life long dream and for this I am so proud of her....without her our Dutchess would not be here...She has taken her life from working at a canine resort to the next level of being offered at job at an ASPCA ....I have learned and watched so much from her...in 23 yrs...in 5 -6 yrs since graduating high school she has achieved learning about and understanding dogs just working at this one job that I could ever achieve in a lifetime of owning dogs...Sam is understanding, has a way with dogs, does not give up on them, has been up against the toughest and hardest of them all and doesn't give up on them....she loves all dogs and you and your loved puppy or older dog will benefit from her love and caring that she will bring to you....she's a great trainer, full of love, and she will never abandon you or your pet without good reason...
