Animals are my LIFE!
Pet care experience
I currently have a mobility impaired German Shepherd who still loves to play and I have taken care of dogs and other animals since I was young. I do not live alone so your pets will always have company even when I am out and about. I am a college graduate and I like to volunteer at my local animal shelter for fun. I hope to make a little extra cash while getting to do something I love. If boarding is needed that can be negotiated as long as your pet is dog friendly since I do own my own dog and I would hate to stress out your pet/my dog unnecessarily. I also require that your pet(s) be up to date on all vaccinations and flea and tick treatment. As I cannot take a chance of my babys or others health if not vaccinated. I love spending time with animals and would love to get to know yours! I have experience taking care of: Alpacas Cats Dogs Ferrets Bunnies Birds I am currently doing Rover on the side as I am currently working full-time but my dog enjoys making Rover friends so I am going to keep at it. I have a fenced back yard and have a friendly dog that is happy to make new friends. I encourage dogs that are crate trained to bring their own crate (I do have an extra crate at my home if needed) but dogs are not required to be in crates as long as they can behave outside of one. I currently just started working full-time so my retired mom watches the dogs while I am away so that the dogs will not be left alone. I have a large backyard that is big enough for dogs to comfortably run around. If walks are needed I have a dog friendly neighborhood with lots of spots for you dog to stop and relax. I also have a dog room for dogs who are not crate trained and are a little mischievous when not supervised (like stepping out for errands). If your dog is crate trained but you are unable to bring your crate I do have some extras I can use. Dogs are welcome on couches since they all have couch covers if your dogs prefer couches better. I have a plethora of different kinds of treats your dog can enjoy but I encourage owners to bring their own treats for their dog in case your dog is on a special diet. I have extra bowls and toys your dog can use but if the owner would like to bring their own that's fine too!
Reviews
Samantha was great. She sent me pictures of Lady throughout her stay. Lady seemed happy with her. I will definitely use her again.
Highly recommend Samantha! Very communicative and kind. Thank you for taking great care of my pet!
The Best experience we had with Samantha. This is the first time we have ever left our fur babies . We got updates on all of them and I just know they loved Samantha
Samantha is the best. She is professional and super patient. Our babe girl loves her!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and lots of bushes for your pets to sniff around. If there are multiple boarders during the same time frame I always let you know before hand just in case you are not comfortable with it and need to make other arrangements. I only ever board dogs together that I am comfortable will get along and if for whatever reason they don't I am able to rotate them around to make sure all animals can get equal time outside and people time. I do not board male and female dogs that are not fixed together during the same time frame just to make sure there aren't any accidents. Also all boarders are required to provide proof of up to date vaccinations so that your pet is safe.
Home
Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet
Are they aggressive towards other animals (including food/toy aggression)? Do they have any special care needs (allergies/medical/social) that need extra attention? Is your pet up to date with vaccinations/flea & tick treatment? Is your dog potty trained?
A typical day
Will have mandatory play time and walks around my neighborhood :) Will have plenty of wrestle, ball, and or tuggle war time. Will also have plenty of time for much needed dog naps.

Availability
I am currently working full time not far from my house and I come home for an hour lunch break. My retired mother looks after the dogs while I am away at work and let's them out about every 2 hours for potty breaks so your pet will hardly ever be alone unless she has some errands or events she needs to attend to. I am available for drop-ins after 5pm on weekdays. I occasionally work mornings on the weekends but not often so I am free to spend time with your pet or provide drop-ins.
