Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, trustworthy and reliable!
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.

Sam is the best!
Samantha always does great! She’s great with my dog, very responsive, and accommodates my last-minute requests which I’m very thankful for!
Samantha was great and easy to work with. Our dog seemed happy upon pick up and had a smooth transition from to and from Samantha’s home. Would definitely use again!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
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.
Pets
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.

- 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.
