Safety, trust & environment

I have both a fenced area with covered deck space, as well as, a tie-out. I am happy to except dogs with medical issues, seniors and puppies 3+ months (Yes, I watch them extremely close). I require that all dogs staying in my home are current on all vaccines, provided with flea & tick medication, as well as, heartworm prevention. I absolutely will NOT tolerate any agression towards people or dogs. This is a furniture and bed friendly home. Most of my floors are hard surfaces. However, this is my home not a steel cage, therefore, I will NOT permit destruction of my furniture or property, you may be liable. I require a meet & greet with yourself & dog(s) a minimum of 48hrs prior to your/their 1st stay. There will NEVER be more than 5 dogs in my home including my own 3. I have a one family two dogs maximum.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I am able to provide medication or handicap care to (small to medium, if lifting) your dogs. It is essential that I am provided with a complete schedule, food, treats, collar, crate, special medications and devices. I also require your pets veterinarian information,as well as, an emergency veterinarian hospital.

A typical day

We have many toys, ropes, balls antlers and bones around here. We play fetch in the back yard (weather permitting). May take a short walk if your dog is leash trained. Lots love, snuggles and social interaction with both humans & my dogs.

Samantha was super helpful to our family when we visited her area for a college reunion and needed care for our sweet, elderly dog. We would definitely use her as a sitter again.

Samantha made everything wonderful for our dog, Stanley, while we were away. She sent messages and pictures to keep me updated on how things were going. I would highly recommend Samantha as a dog sitter!!
