I can’t wait to meet your animals!

Pet care experience

Hello! I have always had a passion in caring for dogs. I used to volunteer at a puppy rescue for a duration of about two years. Duties included dog intake from the shelters, giving them shots, de-fleaing them, taking them home to foster for a few days before adoption, and finally, help find these pups their forever homes in the weekly adoption events we had! From the rescue, I had adopted a dog myself, and just recently adopted another rescue pup who is Deaf and partically blind! Both my dogs are my life and I want to provide a trusting service to you that I would expect when putting my dogs in someone else’s care. My love for not just dogs, but animals in general never go unnoticed. Since then, I have done plenty of dog sitting and animal care. I am great with animals, and I know how to make them feel comfortable and at ease. I’m confident that I will give you and your dog the best care I possibly can!

Sammi is one of the greatest people you can trust your pet with. She has such a wonderful range of experience as a caretaker, with two dogs of her own that she prioritizes with every decision she makes, and spending years as a nanny to several babies and toddlers. She has a natural touch that cannot be taught, and takes her job very seriously. I have a pup of my own that she will take care of time to time, and theres never an ounce of worry in my body. She will do whatever it takes to make sure your pet is taken care of, having fun, and communicate with you as much as you’d want. I highly recommend her services!

Sam was a absolutely wonderful, attentive and dependable dog caretaker. I had her care for my pups for years on and off when needed, and still to this day sometimes! She truly sticks with families with the long haul. She treated my two pups as if they were her own, which I really appreciated. It was almost as if she knew my dogs medical and dietary needs better than myself. I am thoroughly impressed with Sam’s dog sitting skills, and I am so grateful to have met her and looking forward to continuing our work relationship.

This is our second time using Sammi and we are big fans! She is so sweet, great with pups, and leaves our place spotless. Thanks again Sammi!

Sammi was amazing! She watched our pups, Hudson & Maggie for a long weekend and was truly the best. She sent pics of the dogs and even ran an errand when their dog food ran out! We knew they were in great hands the entire time. We will definitely use Sammi again! :)

l will be able to stay with your pets in your home and be there most of the time. I am very active and love to go on nature walks, which I would definitely take your pups along with me! I also have two dogs that LOVE to play if you would want your dog to have play dates. If not, totally fine! My dogs will be under supervision with my husband so I can be fully attentive to your animals while you’re away.

Information Sammi J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or special care. I have experience with special needs animals, elderly dogs, and medication administration. If I could also be provided a rough schedule of your pups routine, that would be greatly appreciated as well!

A typical day

i love to go on walks in the city and find a cute, quiet neighborhood. I am also up to bring your dog to the dog park if you would prefer that as well. Im also an avid fetch player (my dogs obsessed with fetch) so we can do that too! Whatever your pet likes, I can accommodate!
