“We had already booked a month-long vacation when Buck came into our lives. Buck is our 11-month-old Australian Shepard. Our son cared for him during our absence, but we were concerned that he would not have time to provide Buck with the exercise and company that this energetic and intelligent canine requires. My son works long hours, so we needed help walking Buck.
We were incredibly fortunate to find Samie’s name and contact information. She took on Buck! She walked him Monday through Friday for a month; and walking him is a feat of strength! Samie was professional and communicated well with us when an issue came up. She notified us when she arrived for Buck and then returned him from their walks. She sent pictures, accompanied with fun humor from time to time, and asked questions when she needed information about him. She even adjusted her schedule when it was determined that Buck needed not one, but two, hours of walking a day.
Not only was Samie reliable, consistent and flexible, but she clearly loves dogs and was willing and able to take on a challenging walker. Samie put our minds at ease, and our son was very thankful! We have found someone who we can trust to walk for our beautiful boy. I know that Buck will be excited to see Samie when we ask her to walk him again. Thank you, Samie! We are grateful!”

"Samie was the best dog walker I could ask for. She was reliable, had schedule flexibility when needed and loved my dog Minnie like her own. She would send me pictures every time she went to take my dog out and would let me know when she was leaving. She is very kind and genuinely loves animals, if you need someone to trust with your pet she is your person."

“Samie is amazing! Our dog Sadie absolutely loves when Samie comes to take care of her. Samie is very punctual and does an excellent job with our dog, I highly recommend her. We wouldn’t trust Sadie with anyone else.”

“Samie has been an animal lover for as long as I’ve known her! She and her family were guardians for one of our older breeding dogs, and she has come over many times to help socialize puppies. I highly recommend her as being trustworthy, capable and responsible!”

“The Proper Dog Nanny does an amazing job not only with my dog but with the cat, chickens, and goats. It's such a relief to know that I can go out of town, and everyone will be well looked after while I'm gone. Highly recommend and I will be using her again for all my trips!"
