Life long dog lover and owner

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life. I currently own a seven year old beagle/doxen mix who loves to play with other dogs and a pit bull/lab mix who loves to play with everyone, two legs or four always welcome. Both enjoy long walks in the park and smelling everything. Both love to play with other dogs and are always eager to make new friends. I am an amateur dog trainer and am great with discipline and giving lots of belly scratches and ear rubs. I love dogs and would love to watch your precious baby for you or take them on walks to enjoy the sunshine. I currently am a teacher and am available after 3pm most days. I can’t wait to meet you and your special pup. I am a new dog walker and sitter but eager to get to meet some amazing pups and their equally amazing parents.

Sam went above and beyond to keep my cat happy while I was gone. She stopped over twice a day to feed and play with Pebbles, and even took care of cleaning the litter box when I mentioned she didn't have to worry about it.

Samantha is a caring compassionate person. Her love and concern for animals is demonstrated in everything she does. She is amazing with dogs and so patient and kind. Any dog who is lucky enough to get her will love her forever. She has a great sense of responsibility and goes above and beyond in any dealings she undertakes.

I am not that great at describing in words how wonderful and caring someone is, it makes it that much harder that I am writing this about Sam, because I have never met a more caring soul in my life. Sam frequently dog sits for me, I have a 6 year old, play full beautiful black lab named Maci and a mini aussie who is the cutest terror you could meet. Because of my work schedule I have not had all the time needed to house train Copper, but Sam has been there and done an amazing job. She has been so kind and loving to my two dogs and she is always there and happy to help. if infinity was rating that wouldn't be enough to describe Sam's caring heart. It is an absolute privilege to have met her and introduced her to my babies.

Sam can only be described as a true animal lover. Whether it is a tiny mouse or a horse, Sam is passionate about caring for them. She is extremely patient and is well versed in all kinds of training techniques and behavior modifications for dogs of all backgrounds. She rescued her own dog a few years ago and she brings the same care, love and attention to the all of the dogs that she watches and walks. She has watched our two pets on countless occasions who both deal with anxiety issues, and we never have to worry about them - when we come home they act as if we never left. Any pet is sure to be in good hands with her - if you want someone watching your dog who will love your dog as much as you do, she’s your girl!
