Pet care experience
Hey! I'm Sam and I am a dog mom of 3. I've lived and worked with dogs and cats for the last 7 years. Throughout my professional career I’ve worked with many dog trainers in the area helping train puppies, basic obedience, advanced doggy manners, reactive dogs, and fearful/sensitive dogs. I’ve dealt with everything from a huge Tibetan Mastiff, to a tiny Dachshund, to a high energy Goldendoodle! It is my mission to provide professional affordable care that is rooted in fun and compassion to each animal and their person.
Reviews
Samantha is great!! She always leaves great detailed reports about my pup’s walks. As a first time dog mom it was hard to leave my puppy at first but now I do not worry knowing Samantha is coming over to walk him and help him work on his manners and tricks!
We really appreciated Samantha's dedication and care of our cats while we were away. We loved getting the detailed report and photos every day of our cats status. We are eager to book her again in the future!
Awesomeness, thank you so much!

Each Walk&Train service will include: -Enrichment activities and sniffing games -Play with your dogs favorite toy -A personalized training session based off of the needs of each dog - A detailed service report going over what was taught and how to follow up with the training at home. This is a day training style program. Meaning, your dog can learn new things while you’re away! 1-1 sessions are an option for those who need more help with implementing the training in this program.
Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of your dogs triggers, if your dog has been prone to biting or any aggressive behaviors, if there are any allergies, what your daily routine looks like, what treats to use and where you need me to put the poop bags!
A typical day
Dogs LOVE using their noses. So with me, your dog will have many opportunities to sniff and explore their world. I read an article that said ‘20 minutes of sniffing or licking is the equivalent of a 60 minute walk!’ It mentally tires them out, so say NO MORE to your dog tearing up the carpet or creating fuzz explosions from new toys out of boredom! Mental and physical enrichment is the center of my programs so, I will always take a route that gives lots of sniffing opportunities so your dog can decompress more with each walk. My promise is your dogs will always be HAPPY and SAFE!
