Top-notch pet companion
Pet care experience
Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile :) I grew up with pets of all sorts around the house and I have experience house sitting dogs both large and small breed. I have also worked with a dog behaviorist to help train and care for my last older rescue dog who had issues with anxious biting. I know how to compassionately handle dogs that wear muzzles, e-collars etc. and negotiate situations with nervous or aggressive dogs. My animal care approach is defined by patience, trust-building, and personalized attention. I do my best to listen to pets cues so that they receive the care they need. When your pet is with me, they're in capable, caring hands!
About Sam T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all the animals I interact with as individuals with different needs and personalities and always treat your pets and your space as if it were my own. I want to make your pet feel like its at a home away from home, which means keeping their regular schedules while adding that extra play or cuddle time to keep them entertained and loved. Im more than happy to do a meet and greet trip to let them sniff and get to know me. If you have any other questions, please ask!
Information Sam T. would like to know about your pet
Having had a dog with anxious triggers, I would love to hear anything and everything that will help me get to know your pet and make for a better time together. Especially, recall abilities how your pet interacts with other animals and pets as well as how they take to new people, how they like to show affection and play. Please also let me know if they have any special needs or health needs or dietary requirements I should be aware of.
A typical day
I do my best to tailor my walks and playtime to your pets, and am happy to throw the ball, climb the mountain, practice commands, or just slowly sniff the plants, give them their space, give them some love. I am currently living right beside Wiltse with forest roads and trails that I love to explore almost as much as your dog will ! I also have a fenced backyard we can play in and use. I always start by walking dogs on leash until we both feel comfortable and the recall is there.
