Availability
I currently work as a therapist with an office in the Madison area, right next to the plow and hearth. My schedule is pretty flexible and it changes weekly as my client needs change. I am almost always around, that makes me a great person for any last minute bookings needed.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of affection, daily walks, and playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and low-stress, with my own well-behaved dog Daisy as a companion if your pet is comfortable. When staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, maintain regular updates, and work to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I aim to build trust with both pets and their people every step of the way.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet
The following is information I would like to know before a service: any aggressive tendencies, triggers, or medication's. If your dog is not OK with other dogs then I won't be able to board or housesit because I have a dog of my own but I have in the past done drop ins late at night and early in the morning. If you have a dog that can't be around other dogs, but it's OK being alone then we can make that work as well. I would also like to know the frequency of texting and pictures you would like. Everyone has a different preference and I try to please all of my clients. also when sending your initial inquiry to me, please include a general location of where you are. I often get people who are way too far out for me to consider and I like to know that first because if I'm not an option I don't wanna waste your time. if your dog is on a special diet please tell me. I take meal times for you seriously. If the multiple dogs in the house, I feed them separately just to ensure safety. My dog is not aggressive, but you can never be too careful. I would also like to know what your basic rules are and routines. I try my best to stick to their normal routine of things so when you get your dog back they are not out of whack with it.
A typical day
I try to include more than just walks in the daily schedule. Walking is a big part of it but there's so much more out there to do. If your dog is OK in the car we can go hiking or we frequently visit my parents house where they have 13 acres. I also have dog games and training which is another good way to get exercise in. I also look pretty close to the pretty Creek trails and over the summer or in the warmer months at least I tried to visit the area weekly.

Trusted, Loving Pet Care
Pet care experience
when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets as if they're my own. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing.

Reviews
Samantha was able to check on Callie with very short notice. We got some hilarious pictures of the various spots Callie waited for Samantha. I know Samantha juggled several jobs while we were gone and we appreciate her willingness to take on this task.
Samantha was great with my cat and very communicative. Thanks again ♡ !
Awesome thank u!
Thank you, Sam, for taking good care of our cats. We appreciate it.
