Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Samantha! I grew up around 2 Dalmatians & 2 basset hounds. I have always enjoyed being around dogs, especially taking them on their walks. I love how excited they get! I am a former volunteer at Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA, of which I was a kitten foster parent. I am also experienced in administering medications to both cats & dogs. I look forward to meeting your dog & taking them on happy walks!

Sam stayed in our home and cared for with our dog and cat for two weeks. She sent daily (at least) detailed updates with photos and videos showing them contented and having fun with her. The house looked great when we came home. She is a wonderful and capable animal lover. Highly recommend Sam!

Sam took great care of our Basset Toph. She kept us updated throughout and was easy to schedule and work with.
