About: I have experience of maintaining safe and clean environments for dogs within doggy daycare settings! I am comfortable with any breed and size of dog. I have experience with dog walking, redirecting behaviors, and bathing. As a dog and animal lover I have a few fur babies myself! I have a Pembroke welsh corgi puppy Finn that is friendly with all animals, a tortie cat Ginnie that also gets along with any animal-Me and my fiancée Kris just adopted the sweetest 3 year old husky Daisy, as she is in her adjusting period of our home (and us) I will have her separate from any possible boarders and withhold involvement in meet and greets. My parents have their golden retriever Bodie who lives within our home but separately! I have always had a passion for working and being with animals and would love to continue by taking care of animals in my daily routine I always make sure to be home to have enough time for my animals as they are my top priority and I would strive to do the same for yours. I am fortunate enough to always have someone home with the pups-as my fiancée Kris and parents live with me as well. ⭐️ Returning customers or new- I appreciate you putting trust into me with your pet(s). Being a pet mom myself i understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I appreciate your support and kindness and all of the kind reviews⭐️ Pets in my home co exist. Both of my dogs are crate trained and they sleep in there at night or when I am out of the house. I am comfortable having animals in my animals space or them having their own space. I have a separate area if needed for separation during feeding or for resting time. Back yard is fenced in and has plenty of space for walks and off leash play time and potty breaks (please see attached photos in profile of yard).

“Samantha has been doing a great job taking care of our puppy during a time of transition. He’s adjusting to having us home less on certain days and it gives us peace of mind to know he is well cared for.”


About: I’ve always had a place in my heart for animals and have been volunteering at shelters for over 3 years! I’m not just here to feed and walk, I build trust.

I am a special education teacher with the summer off! I’m totally flexible right now, once school is back in session I will have evenings and weekends available. Trust is everything! To build a trusting relationship I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stay, I am always tidy, respectful, and focused on creating a calm, happy environment for your pet!
