Safety, trust & environment

When caring for dogs outside of the home, I always have them leashed and will never do anything off leash. If a client has a suitable outdoor space I will let them off but always keep them strictly monitored. I know how important the bond between a pet and their owner is and I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet!

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of your pet’s temperament before booking services. As well as any specific quirks or concerns regarding your animal! I will do what I can to ensure your pet is properly cared for.

A typical day

I love enriching a pet’s day in any way I can! We will go for exciting walks, playtime as much as possible as well. I enjoy being a highlight of your pet’s day and giving them individualized treatment always. Pets are my passion and my goal is always their happiness and wellbeing!

I love every animal like my own!

Pet care experience

I have 6 years of experience as a dog walker and sitter in Chicago. I’ve loved it since the moment I started and will almost never turn down an opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I can handle any breed or size of dog, and am very knowledgeable in dogs’ temperament. I’m experienced in handling multiple dogs at once on walks as well. I have taken care of all ages of dogs, aiding in puppy training to giving medications to senior dogs! I can handle almost anything asked and will always let you know if I’m not comfortable with a task asked of me. My number one priority is the well being and safety of every animal I meet!

Samantha has a great calm vibe and took really good care of our pup. She followed all our directions and just overall seemed like she had everything under control. Looking forward to having her watch our pup again soon.

Samantha took great care of our pup. Sent us pictures and a recap every day. Our pup seemed to be really responsive to Samantha. I will definitely be using Samantha again. She is very caring of our pup.

Sammi has been helping me look after my dog and cat when I go out of state for over a year, and she’s a saint honestly. She takes my hound for long walks to give his poor, apartment-confined body much needed exercise. She stays and hangs out with my kitty, who has pretty severe separation anxiety, and gives him much needed love. She checks in with me, sends me photos of how they’re doing, and is all around lovely to talk with. I cannot recommend her enough!
