Information Samantha B. would like to know about your pet

I always like to meet all the pups to make sure they are comfortable with me. If you would like your pup to do the hikes it is important that they are dog friendly. Up to date on all Vaccines are very important.

A typical day

I can happily take your pup around the block to stretch their legs or for an amazing group hiking adventure on local trails that last from an hour to and hour and a half. I do recommend that all dogs are up to date with flea and tick medication and up to date on all vaccines.

Pet care experience

I love animals to the end that I now dedicate my life to them. I have worked as an emergency vet tech, to a barn with exotic animals and teaching children about animals as well as teaching adults on how to care for their furry companion and how to save their life in an emergency, to working in Veterinary medicine for wildlife and exotic animals and wildlife rehabilitation. I always wanted to work with animals ever since I was a little girl in South Africa, my mother made sure I was exposed to all aspects of the world of animals which taught me a lot and that I carried to my adult hood and through my education. I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have been working In the field of care for animals for over 7 years now, started as a dog walker, then became an obedience trainer and continued to become licensed as Pet first responder and licensed to train owners in first aide and CPR for cats and dog. I now work in the veterinary field as an on call Vet Tech. I look forward to meeting everyone and the fur kids and my fur kids love to meet new friends too. I live in New Haven with my amazing 3 legged lab mix who loves to make new friends and bring them on hiking adventures to discover new smells and introduce them to his favorite spots to find sticks and lose balls. My experience administering medication As a Veterinarian Technician I am comfortable and able to administer medications orally, sub Q, IM and IV.

Samantha is our go to when we need a petsitter. She always takes great care of our dog and cats. In addition, she is a great communicator and leaves our home in the way it was when she arrived. We highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.
