She has a lot of personal experience caring for and working with pets ranging from dogs, cats gerbils etc. She has an ability to make pets comfortable and at ease. I have observed her dedication to the pets and their needs for basic and emotional care as she has watched animals for other people in her life.

She has the added ability to offer boardingand care as well.”

About: I have pretty open availability and do not travel that often. I have two small dogs that are playful and energetic. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been part of my life and have gotten me through anything that has ever happened to me. Bad or good. Dogs aren’t considered pets, they are family and I promise to treat your family member with the respect and love you would give yourself. I not only want to cuddle and play with your furry friend, but gain a bond. A friendship. My partner works from home as well. I would love to take any dog in my home while you are away, to either play with me or play with my very own bundles of energy, Coco and Brulee! Please let me know if I can help you out at any time! I do work M-F but have weekends off. My partner works from home and is home all day long. I do have a decent lunch and get off by 5 every day. I would feed your pups on your schedule. I take the time and energy needed to play, nourish and allow your dog to run if needed. Dogs are family and I intend on treating them this way.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10. I grew up with multiple cats to care for and have been a dog owner for 11 years. I have experience with puppies/kittens, as well as seniors who may have medical needs. I am also capable of handling high energy pets and households with multiples. I do work full-time (M-F) but have a flexible schedule. I have time in the mornings, and after 5 during the weekdays to care for your pets, and times during the day. Most weekends are very open. I know all pet parents have different rules/expectations, so I am open and happy to follow your lead on how you would need things done. I have a senior dog who is used to no crate, taking full advantage of the couches and beds :) and enjoys moderate length walks. I have had him since he was a puppy, so I am able to provide long walks, exercise time outside and crating if need be.

“Samantha is someone I would highly recommend to take care of anyone's pets. Not only is she a responsible dog owner herself, but I have seen how amazing she is with my 2 dogs and cat. She has patience, is reliable when I have needed her to take care of them, follows instructions on their feedings/schedule, and attends to their needs with so much love. When "Aunt Sam" is visiting, my animals know they are getting special treatment and I know she would do this for everyone's animals.”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. I am a work from home, travel, business owner, and therefore have a lot of flexibility on my hands to be able to work anywhere! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.

About: I recently and unexpectedly lost my dog of 8 years. I'm not ready for a new dog just yet but miss the companionship and would love to be able to help care for someone else's best friend while they're away. Unfortunately I cannot have pets where I live so I will only be able to care for a your dog in your home. I am available day or night, 7 days a week to provide your best friend with the care they need while you are away. I am not currently employed so I have an open schedule and I'm looking to fill some of the time. Hopefully I will be able to so some of that time taking care of your best friend I will care for your pet as best as I can following your specifications and if I have any questions or concerns I will not hesitate to either call or text immediately.

About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Ever since I was 10, family and friends have always had me walk, feed, bathe and even train their pets.

I love to meet new pets and go for walks in new neighborhoods. I am very responsible and caring especially when it comes to animals!
