I am always down for a walk or a drop in, and am very good at following directions. I am happy to administer medicine or follow any specific rules regarding diets.

Information Sam T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs that I should be aware of. Additionally, let me know what they like! Where they like to be pet, their favorite toy, their walking route, etc!

A typical day

On walks, I’ll stop and let them smell whatever they wish. They’re dogs, it’s what they do! If I’m house sitting, we’ll play lots of games; especially fetch and tug of war.

Pets

I love dogs!!

Pet care experience

I have always lived in a household with dogs. Big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs- whatever my family fell in love with! Feeding my 2 big dogs, Casey and Benson, became my absolute favorite chore at age 7. As time went on, and new dogs came into the family, and I became experienced in caring for dogs with a variety of different personalities in a variety of different sizes. A few years ago my family dog Otis, a silly mini poodle, was diagnosed with IVDD. Throughout the last few years, I have become an experienced in taking care of disabled dogs, as he lost most of his function in his back 2 legs. More recently, my family adopted a high energy terrier named Luna. Running around in the park, playing fetch, and playing tug of war are some of her favorite activities. In turn, playing with and walking her are some of mine. I am also a HUGE fan of cats! I never got to have them growing up, as my entire family is allergic. But not me! I love cuddling up with a cat on my lap. Their attitudes are also absolutely hilarious. I am on this app because I love animals. My rates are low because I do this for fun, and not with the intention of making big money. My hope is to meet as many types of breeds and personalities and temperaments as I can, so when the time comes that I can get a pet of my own, I know what dog will be a great fit for me! In my free time, I volunteer my time to rescues and help them grow social media followings. When at school, I go to a local dog cafe (like a dog park, but in a coffee shop!) any time I can to interact with pups. Pets are truly one of my greatest joys. I get SO excited with every booking request, because it means there is a new friendly face I get to meet!
