Committed to Care for Best Friends

Pet care experience

I'm a licensed veterinary technician, so you can trust me with the care of your furry friend! I love taking dogs on walks, I'm very knowledgeable about dog behavior, breeds, and have plenty of experience with dogs as little as puppies and as old as 20. I'm also a qualified dog trainer if your dog struggles with any behavioural issues! I make sure dogs I care for have a safe, fun enviornment and an all-around great experience. My schedule is currently widely open as I am taking some time away from full-time vet work to focus on growing my partner and I's first (non-furry) baby! I'm friendly, I'm responsible, and I will make sure to provide your pet with the absolute best care possible! I am also skilled in special requirements such as grooming, administering medications, dealing with certain health problems, and more. :) I hope you consider me if you want perfect care for your perfect pal!

Samson is wonderful. He took such good care of our girls. We will definitely be having him take care of our girls again. I highly recommend him. ♥️

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently unable to board in my home, as I have 4 cats, but when I am sitting in your home I will always follow any and all instructions I am given. I'm great for dogs of any ages, and I love rolling around and playing outside with puppies and active dogs just as much as I enjoy loving on and hanging out with older or more relaxed dogs inside on a couch. Every family has different rules and expectations for their pet in their home and I will always take the owner's words first. I do love giving treats (owner permitting) and I try to maintain a routine (meals/walks/bedtime around the same time daily) to provide some consistency. When in your home, I will not go anywhere I am not given permission to go, and I don't like to touch other people's (non-pet-related) things unless given express permission to do so! regardless of my length of stay, I always leave your home as I found it. :)

Information Samson S. would like to know about your pet

I'm partial to medium and large breed dogs, but I love any breed! I'd like to know age, any heath problems, and if they have potential behavioral concerns or aggression towards people/other dogs if we're going on walks.

A typical day

I'll stick near neighborhoods for walks and I love walking on trails or around parks! I'll run with your dog if they need it, play fetch or frisbee (I avoid tug-of-war as it encourages negative behaviors), and make sure to bring plenty of water if your furry friend gets hot or thirsty. I walk rain or sun in any time of year.
