Professional care, all dogs welcome

Pet care experience

I'm Samantha, and I spend 24/7 working for and with dogs! I'm a founder of the non-profit Blue Man Dog, Inc (we specialize in being a dog rescue, free resource website and behavioral training group). I've trained and fostered dogs for 10 years non-stop, because I love watching their successes! When not rescuing, I spend my weekdays enjoying dog walks, (with over a decade in the dog care business) with an emphasis on exercise and good behavior. Weekends often find me teaching training seminars for local shelter dogs and their fosters. Dogs are both my passion and profession, which I take very seriously. I'm mature, personally insured and bonded. During their time with me, your dog will happily relax and enjoy themselves, taking comfort in exercise, structure and affection!

Samatha is an incredible host! She is very knowledgeable, and knows how to handle dogs, so we never have to worry about our pup when he’s with her. She also boards many dogs at once, and she’ll help to socialize them with each other, all under her careful supervision and gentle care. Can’t recommend her enough!

Samantha kept Bella very happy during our 9 days away from home! We got frequent updates with pictures and it was obvious that she was having a great time! Would absolutely use Samantha again.

Once again Samantha took good care of our big girl who was giving Samantha kisses, something she Rarely provides people with. That says it all.

I keep your dog close to me, to ease their little stress over being separated from you. All dogs are fed separately, and sleep in crates that I provide for the overnight hours. If your dog likes other dogs, my dog Zelda is a great playmate. If they'd rather stay away from other dogs, I can easily accomodate

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

Your dog is important to me! I want to reduce their stress and have them enjoy their stay with me. If your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues, let me know and I can work out a plan for their comfort.

A typical day

I absolutely love having new dogs in my home, I learn so much from each dog. I provide one walk daily down a tree-lined area, and I let you or your dog tell me what other fun activities they'd enjoy.
