Pet care experience

Former Emergency Vet Tech!

Hello, I am 33 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I used to work at an Emergency OverNight Hospital for small animals (dogs and cats) I specialize in walking reactive aggressive dogs (I have a GSD that does not like other dogs) as well as escape artist dogs. I've had numerous different breeds, from hound dogs to huskies, so I am used to all temperaments. I love animals and have a lot of patience when it comes to animals. I don't mind walking in the rain and I always carry an extra harness, leash, and freeze dried lamb treats! I believe dogs are more then just family and deserve to be treated like it. I believe pets do better when watched inside of their own home, rather then going to a strangers or being boarded, I work from home so I will never leave your pet alone for more then an hour at a time, ensuring less crate time and a better balance for your pet.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to stick the the routine that the owners have already set. I also prefer to do a meet and greet before any over night pet sitting to ensure I am the best fit for your pet and your pets needs. I believe that pets are family and should be treated as such.

Samantha watched our fur babies for five nights - we had piece of mind that our babies were taken care of and loved while we were away.

Samantha couldn't have done a better job. She stayed at our house 9 nights/10 days and took care of our klan of animals. Our dog was so spoiled, he was sorry to see Sam go. Highly recommended and will use her for future events.

Samantha was Fabulous!! It was like having a Family member be at our home and watch the dogs. She arrived promptly, and the dogs took to her instantly, so did I! We have two large older dogs, and my daughter's 4 year old, diabetic dog were at our house so we could go out to dinner. With her background in emergency care, she clearly understood giving insulin. Our usually aloof male Lab, planted himself on the couch to be next to her, a doggie thumbs up! Throughout the evening, she sent pictures, and kept us abreast of what they were doing, and where they settled in. It was nice to be able to go out with the whole family and not be worried about what they dogs were up to, or if their needs were being met. We have already booked her for our larger Group outing for the Holidays...Samantha is a gem!

Please let me know if you pet has any special needs or quirks that they need to be accomidated. I know for my dogs you need to give them a treat when first coming into the house if they do not know you. My shepherd didn't like other dogs so I needed to walk him on the other side of the road when there were other dogs present. Cats also tend to have some interesting quirks so please dont be afraid to let me know!
