Pet care experience
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.

Poor communication skills and unprofessional.
Samantha took great care of all our dogs during a very long day going into NYC for Christmas 🎅🏻
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!
I’ve always had such a tough time finding a quality baby sitter and have had terrible experiences in the past with neglect but Samantha was awesome! Having her over has been such an amazing peace of mind because the animals love her so much and they’re always very well taken care of. Samantha’s attention to detail is also very good, I have a lengthy routine for one of my pets and she followed it perfectly!

Skills
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.
Information Samantha B. would like to know about your pet
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!
A typical day
I love taking dogs on Sniff Walks and hikes where they get to smell everything they could possibly want to, I find this to be more stimulating then a traditional walk. I do not take dogs to dog parks where there are unfamiliar dogs ( I have seen to many injuries' working in Emergency from dog parks) I also love to do short training sessions for new tricks or snuffle matts for additional stimulation.
