Friendly pet care when you need it
Pet care experience
I have always had a connection and love for animals. Throughout my life my family has owned mainly dogs, but I love cats as well and breeds of all shapes and sizes. I am also a handler/walker for my local shelter, Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and it makes me happy to help so many animals find homes. Ive taken a couple of handlers courses through the shelter so if you are away, or cant make it home for well needed bathroom breaks and feedings, rest assure that I can take care of your pet. From drop-in visits to walking, as well as overnight care. I am here to provide the care you need. I take caring for your family member serious and each dog or cat has there own individual needs. To ease your mind I can send picture and text message updates, and are always a phone call away. I am confident that I will meet you and your companions needs! USE MY PROMO CODE TO GET $20 0FF YOUR FIRST BOOKING: SAMANS85012 I am available 7 days a week from 9:00 am throughout the rest of the day until 9:00 pm to provide Walking/ Drop in services. I am attentive to your pets specific needs. For an animal, while their trusted human is away, meeting or being in a new environment with a stranger can be a big ordeal so I like to make sure that their experience with me is comfortable and fun !
Reviews
Samantha S. cancelled a booking after the stay began.
Samantha is an outstanding dog walker/stitter. Prior to first walking our dogs, she reached out to us and met our dogs in person. Sam asked all of the right questions and was very prepared. Samantha does a great job taking care of our 3 dogs! She is friendly and professional. We give Sam our highest recommendation!
My family had a great experience with Samantha. She cared for my dog while we had to travel. She was easy to teach and gave updates regularly.
Would not book again. Samantha did a good job on the morning visit. HOWEVER, She completely forgot about the evening visit. I texted her an hour and a half after the scheduled drop-in time and she admitted she forgot. I truly believe she would not have remembered at all had I not texted her. She also did not stay for a full 30-minute visit, which is what we paid for. I do not feel I can trust her to care for my pets.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know more about your pets need, so I can make them as comfortable as possible while in my care! I am an active person but will accommodate your furry friends needs. Are they high energy or a couch potato ? Let me know! Do they have any behavioral quirks i should know about? Or environmental triggers on walks or in the home?
A typical day
There is a nature trail and plenty of routes to walk in my neighborhood that I frequent everyday with my dog ! I do two 30- 45 min walks everyday one in the morning @ 11am and another around 5 pm, but can be changed based on your dogs energy level and needs . I have a basket full of dog toys I am sure some dogs will love, I can provide well needed potty breaks anytime in between walks. Depending on your dogs eating schedule I can modify the walks as well! Your pup will be exercised and well rested !
