We Love your pet as our own 💖

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I started Caring for and training my own dogs and then overtime transitioned to caring for, grooming, and training my own dogs, family dogs, friends dogs, and even other family’s dogs through word of mouth. I have a lot of experience with puppies, especially with training techniques. I also Have a lot of experience with behavior issues, health issues, older dogs etc. Currently I work per diem and have a lot of free time to care for pets, which is my true passion. On a daily basis, I am always playing with my dogs, walking my dogs, training my dogs etc. In my home, I often carefully watch how client’s pets interact with my dogs before allowing them to play together. After I know the client’s pets and my pets will get along well I then allow them to play both inside and outside while being carefully supervised. Feedings and sleeping will always be kept separate. I always follow client concerns, rules, protocols, advice when caring for a pet in my home. While in a client’s home I ask the client for specifics on the pet’s routine in the house and I try to keep to that pet’s normal life as possible. In both cases I try to interact with the pet by playing with them, petting them, doing some training with client approved treats, etc. I currently Work per-diem so I have plenty of time to care for my pets and other pets as well. My daily schedule consists of taking the dogs for a walk first thing in the morning, taking them in our backyard to play and then feeding breakfast. Throughout the day we go for several walks and take several trips outside to play or work on some training. Then, around 5:30pm we get ready for our dinner and then relax or play until bedtime, with yet another walk and play session before bed. At my home, I have a small backyard where the pets can go outside supervised to use the bathroom and play. I also take the pets for several small walks a day, or 1-2 long walks a day depending on their need. I also Have two separate spare bedrooms for pets to get their space if they need it.

Sam and her fiancé were very caring and attentive to my dog! They kept me updated and handled all her weirdness in the best way possible. I really appreciate them watching her!

Information Sam B. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know if a dog has any behavior or health issues ahead of time. As well as any feeding routines, sleeping routines, potty routines, treat/food restrictions etc that need to be followed

A typical day

I believe that a mixture of physical and mental stimulation is the best method to having a happy and healthy pet. I like To do this by doing brain stimulating tricks and games, as well as taking them for long walks, playing with them, and allowing them to socialize and play with other dogs. I also Enjoy taking my dogs for hikes at the Ramapo reservation or to play at the dog park at South Mountain Dog park!
