Pet care experience
Hello! I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember! ❤️ I've raised quite a few pups during my life, and right now I own 4 amazing dogs. I've been through big dogs, little dogs, old dogs, young pups, potty training, dogs with medical needs, and senior care, you name it. I've been dog sitting for 15 years and have worked for Rover for over 5 years (: I spend every day with my dogs, and they are my best friends. I enjoy all their personalities, energy, and cuddles of course! I believe that your dogs should be treated the same way I'd like my dogs to be treated; with care, love, enthusiasm, appropriate discipline, rewarded behavior, and patience. I hope to be a sitter that puts your mind at ease (: I am currently employed from home, so this ensures you that your pup will never be left unattended. I am available almost everyday for doggy day care or boarding. I allow potty breaks/outside playtime every 2-3 hours but my doggy door is always open during the warm weather so doggos can come in and out as they please. I use my spare bedroom as a space to keep all my dog crates and a spare bed for guest pups to sleep in if they need. I usually let around 3-4 dogs out at a time for play so it's easier for me to monitor them, but if everyone gets along, then all dogs are free to roam all over the house and yard (: I never want your baby to feel overwhelmed so sometimes being with small groups of dogs at a time is better for everyone! It all depends on your dogs needs and how you'd like your dogs to be treated during their time here with me. I understand that dogs have all different types of personalities so I focus on their body language when around other dogs. I have plenty of bedrooms if dogs need to be separated from others or have special needs. I love to have meet and greets with new people/dogs here at my home so your fur babies can have a chance to sniff around my home and meet a couple of my dogs before you decide to book with me as your sitter to make sure my care and environment is a right fit for you! I know that leaving your baby under someone else's care can be worrisome, this is why I will keep you updated with photos and texts of how your dog is doing throughout their stay. This is a dog home and I just live in it! They are free to go on all furniture, drool, have zoomies, dig holes, and tear up all the toys they want(under supervision)while in my home as long as everyone gets along(: At the crack of dawn my dogs wake up the whole house, then we provide breakfast in different rooms to prevent food aggression. Throughout the day we give lots of playtime, we own a lot of dog toys, and we also provide potty breaks all day in my fenced yard. At night the dogs sleep in my doggy guest room, or on the couches in the living room, but some prefer to sleep in our bed! Dinner is also served in separate rooms as well for safety. From sun up to sun down, my attention is always on dogs :) I am home 24/7, I love being a dog sitter and I am also a caregiver for special needs patients, on most Saturdays, that come to my home for care and they really enjoy all the dogs that visit! It's like pet therapy for everyone! I have a 3 bedroom home and a fenced in back yard with security cameras. I'm used to both crate trained/and non-crate trained dogs. My 2 cats have their own bedroom, so no worries if your pup doesn't get along with cats!
Reviews
Sam watched my furbies for ~18 weeks. She has been so kind and flexible and attentive and welcoming. She has the best animals for mine to play with. She reinforces training, good habits, and is very conscientious. I hope we find someone as wonderful everywhere we go!
Sam consistently goes the extra mile. Jyrah loves going to spend time with Sam and I feel she is safe and happy. Thank you, Sam!
Sam consistently goes the extra mile to make sure my Jyrah girl is engaged, and safe and cared for so well and the walk in the beautiful sunshine yesterday made it all the better!
Sam goes the extra mile for Jyrah and she is just the best dogsitter ever!
