Just A Friend In This Pet Universe!

Fun loving pet owner and pet lover living in Decatur, Georgia. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I own one dog and I’m an aunty to two others, as well as god parents to many other pets. Offering boarding and sitting in my comfortable, bright and pet friendly home. I grew up with many pets and I’ve always had a fondness for our furry friends. I’d say I have 30 years experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits. I’m more skilled with small to medium sized trained dogs. I have a backyard that pets can play in once leashed and I take all pets for walks in the neighborhood, weather and their ability permitted. Safety first always! Looking forward to hanging with some cool furry friends.

I highly recommend Samantha. She is very caring, reliable, and pays close attention to detail. She has been a dog owner for years and understands how to keep pets safe, clean, and on a routine. She is someone friends and family trust with their pets because she shows up, follows through, and truly cares. Samantha treats every dog with patience and respect, and you can feel confident your pet will be in good hands with her.

Samantha is so good with dogs. It’s something to see as her own dog never leaves her side! She has watched my 3 little doggies when I’ve needed babysitting or boarding and my dogs never want to leave her home. I’m not sure if it’s the treats or them playing dress up lol.

Schedule

I work from home and I have a little dog of my own so your pet is never alone and has a friend to lounge in the sun and eat treats with. I also have a large crate for if your dog requires crate time or if I have to briefly run an errand.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a soft space and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. I do have a ring camera and doors are always closed and locked for added safety. I always accompany my pet friends for leashed discoveries in my backyard and on neighborhood walks to greet the neighbors.

Pets

A typical day

We get up early and get the morning going with potty time, meal time, ice cold fresh filtered water and a walk or backyard fun depending on the weather and pet moods. Pets play or lounge with each other and have a good time watching birds and squirrels and being inquisitive with nature on my patio and backyard. Natural treats are rewarded to encourage positive experiences or just because! Inside we have beds, pillows and a big couch to chill on while listening to music, playing or just lounging. We have a good time and a good day :)
