About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young both domestic and street dogs. My neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets. I go above because I love spending time with them as they are our extended family. I am currently working from home, with flexible work schedule. I can be contacted last minute for dog or cat sitting or walking. I am just a phone call away: My apartment is clean and spacious. They will be allowed to run free and walk regularly with love and care. Always available as needed. J
“Samantha took great care of my two cats who are not very used to strangers. They were well cared for and were very content when I returned. Absolutely zero complaints and I would highly recommend Samantha.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a kid. I even used to show my dog in 4H dog shows! I love any dogs small and big! I’m currently working part time only so I would love to take care of pets during the day or even over night when I can! I have a pretty big yard and can take dogs on walks when they need. I can let them out/take on walks when they need!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals. I worked at the Beresford Vet Clinic as a kennel tech. I would take out dogs and play with them twice daily. I made sure they had clean water and were feed. I also gave many dogs meds correctly and on time. I would clean up after all accidents and learned to read different dog's behavior. I currently work part time and have lots of time during the day. Before and after I work and on days that I have time off. I feel confident reading your animal's behavior and taking care of their specific needs. I have worked at two vet clinics and have learned how to promptly handle animals and I'm not worried about cleaning up any messes.
About: I have volunteered at a fox rescue, wildlife rehabilitation center, and the Minnesota zoo, so I have a ton of experience with many different types of animals. I have always had a dog in my house. My parents currently have 3 dogs and two cats while I have one dog and one cat. I can work with any kind of animal big or small! I have a husky and a German short haired pointer, so I know how to walk, or take care of, a more energetic dog. On the other hand I also have a French bulldog so I also know how to care them smaller, less active dogs. I have dog sat many times before in the past and I have never had any complaints. I will always put your dog first! I am currently working as a CNA at a hospital part time, so I have some time on my days off or after work to help walk or take care your pets! I have a very friendly dog who can play with any type of dog whether they are smaller than her or bigger. I can travel to your house and make sure your dog is well taken care of and walked.
