About
I have been working with dogs for over 15 years now. I have worked everywhere dog related retail stores, groomers and doggie daycare. I am canine and feline CPR certified and have completed a course in reading canine body language. I know some basic vet tech knowledge and signs of stress. I am honest with my customers and will do anything I can to help in anyway possible.
What isn't there to love about working with dogs all day? They love unconditionally and don't expect anything from humans except to be loved back and occasional treats and maybe a ball. I love getting to meet new dogs everyday and helping out owners with suggestions on food or a new harness.

I was very happy with Sam’s services. She communicated and checked in and my dogs loved her. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. 🐾

Samantha has been walking our dog for over a year.

This review is for my friend and not just the professional. I have known Samantha Kharibian since we were kids and she has always been the one with the huge heart and eagerness to please everyone she comes in contact with. She has been working in the customer service industry since she was 14 years old and a huge part of that was the hotel industry in particular. She worked for Hilton Hotels for 8 years and met a lot of great people from all over the world and that’s where she found her passion for weddings and events. Another huge passion for Samantha is her love for dogs and her want to help them. She works with dogs and has the compassion and patience it takes to make them comfortable and open up to her in an otherwise overwhelming atmosphere and that’s why I believe she will be a great fit for anyone who is in need of a wedding and event planner/coordinator. She has the ability to take all the stress away from the customer and make them feel like they are the only ones who matter because to her they are. Samantha is a great leader and team player and also the shoulder to cry on when its crunch time and your nerves are on edge. She is the whole package.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to do a Meet and Greet with possible new customers to make sure that it will be a good fit for everyone.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am Canine and Feline CPR certified and have completed a course in reading canine body language.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My first animal care job was at a pet store where we sold dogs and small animals. When they first came in I would help out with all the paperwork and anything pertaining to the dogs like feedings, weighing, deworming medications and their first set of shots. This was where I realized that I wanted to work with dogs in anyway that I possibly could and I loved the feeling that I was making a difference in these pups lives.
