Pet care experience
I treat other people’s pets as i would want someone to treat my own. If i have high expectations of someone, i meet or exceed those expectations myself. Growing up we had a shih-poo who really only liked my mom and none of us kids. Now we have a lab mix and my 5 siblings have a combination of a toy yorkie, chihuahua, full lab, beagle hound mixes, a pittie mix, and a coon hound. They all have completely different personalities and i love them all. I enjoy seeing the different temperaments, interest and behaviors between breeds. I never leave dogs in the yard alone, fenced in or not. Anything could happen at any time but not on my watch. I always make sure the harness and leash is properly fitted and the proper identification is attached just incase. Always make sure the door is properly closed so there can be no escapes.
Reviews
My first time using Rover and Samantha made it a great experience! She even got my super shy cat to come out and eat on the third day. I hope she can come back for my long vacation in August.
We have hired Samantha on multiple occasions. She is very responsive and reliable and follows all our requests regarding care of the pups. I’m happy we have someone like Samantha who can be there when we have to be away! Peace of mind 😊
First time working with Samantha and will definitely be asking for her help again. She was responsive, on time, and sent plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend her! :)
Samantha has done a couple walks for our two dogs and is so sweet and good with them! We will keep using her for as long as she’ll have us LOL

Safety, trust & environment
Always make sure the doors and gates are fully closed so there can be no escapees. I make sure the harness and leash are properly fitted so the dogs cant slip out of them and that they have proper identification just incase. Never leave anything out that could be choked on or eaten.
Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet
Id like to be aware of any special needs or injurys before hand. Any behavior or aggression issues? Do they pull uncontrollably on the leash? Etc.
A typical day
Typically i like going to dog parks when there is not a crowd. I love exploring new areas and letting the dogs sniff all the different smells. I like to mentally exhausted my dog by teaching new tricks or giving her puzzles. To physically tire them out i simply throw a ball or stick or their favorite toy as many times as theyll bring it back to me.
