Our Story
Sam's Dapper Dog was born from Samantha's commitment to providing exceptional care for dogs. What began as a passion for grooming in 2023 soon expanded into a full-service business, offering a variety of handmade dog accessories. Sam's goal has always been to create a calm and positive grooming experience for every pet, and her desire to support dogs in all aspects of their lives led her to introduce treats, accessories, and stylish apparel for pet parents. Sam believes every dog deserves to look dapper, and her handmade products are designed with this in mind—except for the treats, most items are crafted by hand, ensuring each one is thoughtfully designed to enhance the well-being and happiness of pets while strengthening the bond between owners and their furry companions. At Sam's Dapper Dog, we celebrate the special connection between pets and their people, and we’re honored to be a part of your pet’s journey as we welcome you to the Dapper Dog family!
Meet Sam
Samantha, the heart behind Sam's Dapper Dog, is a Certified Professional Pet Groomer dedicated to providing a calm, positive environment for every dog that walks through her door. She worked for four years as a receptionist and bather at an award-winning grooming salon, gaining valuable hands-on experience. During this time, Samantha decided to further her passion and enrolled in The Whole Pet Grooming Academy of Portsmouth, NH, where she graduated at the top of her class as a Certified Professional Pet Groomer. Since beginning her grooming career in 2018, she has worked with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious ones, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during their grooming experience. Sam believes every dog deserves to be groomed, no matter their personality, and works to make it a stress-free experience for them. Outside of grooming, Samantha enjoys spending time with her seven dogs—Bella, Ezra, Aiden, Breyer, Primm, Dax, and Frankie—and exploring the outdoors, bringing her love for animals into every aspect of her life.
