Thoughtful and Loving Pet Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have been in love with dogs since the first time I laid eyes on my aunt's dog at four months old, and refused to sleep without her. I remember trying to train dogs from age six and on. I am now a professional dog trainer and kennel technician. I have experience in socializing, potty training, aggression rehabilitation, and pet first aid. I truly enjoy being around dogs, boosting their confidence, while also teach them manners. Not only can I walk, check-in, board, or house sit for you and your pup; but I can also work on leash, obedience training, and separation anxeity. I will take care of your best friend as I would my own. If you need someone to take care of your fur baby when you can't, I'll be there.

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about your dog’s daily routine as I try to stick to it as much as possible. Such as what time our their feedings, walks, bedtimes, medicines. Knowing your dog’s energy level will help me provided the appropriate amount of activity without over or under doing it. Please provide any issues or bad habits your dog has and if/how you are working on them. Consistency is key and I want your pet to feel comfortable with me and I want to be comfortable with providing them with the closest thing to having you by their side.

A typical day

Other than walks, there are great number of activities to stimulate your dogs brain which wears them out as much as exersizing. This is much needed in the current Florida heat. Nose work is the most effective. Working with food puzzles like Kongs or snuffle mats.
