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
Very good communicator, on time and even sent pictures to reassure me everything was alright with my dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
She’s our go to sitter. Professional, reliable and caring.
Thank you so much! ☺️🐈⬛
Samantha walks our dogs every time we are out of town and always does an excellent job. Thank you!

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
It’s important for me to know if they are a bite or escape risk. Just so I can know what I’m walking in to and be prepared, no judgement. Its nice to know if they pull uncontrollably on a walk but in reality all dogs pull so it’s a pleasant surprise when they don’t.
A typical day
I love exploring new areas and letting the dogs sniff to their hearts desire. I will play with a pup however they want- if they want to fetch a ball, I’ll throw a ball until they stop bringing it back- if they want to play tug, I’ll tug as best I can- if they want to be chased, I’ll chase them a little bit. If your pup isn’t very active I’m MORE than happy to provide cuddles and belly rubs or head scratches. If your pup isn’t a player or a cuddle bug, I usually will just sit near them and chat with them.

Availability
I’m just started as a PCA for a few days a week and looking to fill up the rest of my week. I’d love to take on some regulars if our schedules align! I’m also open to being a “back up” or just used in a pinch.
