Samantha P.
“Someone once said something about Samantha that has stayed in my mind for years. She's the kind of person that you can give a bag of money to and come back in a year, and not only will she still have all of the money you gave her, she'll have figured out a way for it to earn interest. And she'll give that to you too. I have rarely met anyone I trust as much as Samantha. Or anyone more dedicated to and in love with animals.”
jennifer V.
“She was amazing! My pup didn’t mind a single bit and willingly went with her. She went above and beyond what she was asked to do and thankfully wore my pup out! Having a German Shepherd puppy is hard work so it is so great that she was able to spend some time with him while I was out.”
