Young and active dog lover!

Pet care experience

My name is Samantha Dean and I am currently a Software Consultant at NuWave Solutions. I recently got engaged and am trying to save up money for our honeymoon. My love of dogs brought me to this website and I couldn't think of a better way to start saving. I have been a dog owner my entire life, and have been dog-sitting since I was 10 years old. I love animals and grew up in a pet-loving family with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, turtles, and lizards. I also have experience administering oral medications, injections, and ear medications. I can provide multiple references to attest to my care of animals. I just adopted a young puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs as well as caring for very old or sick animals. If your dog likes to play, I can bring my puppy for yours to get a little more exercise! I am familiar with the local dog parks and live near a community beach, so your pet will not be bored while I take care of them. I will treat your pet as if it were my own and can't wait to meet your puppies! My fiance and I have teamed up to provide your pets with the best care while you are away. I will be the main person taking care of your pets, but my fiance assists me in the event that I need a helping hand. He is also an experienced dog owner (15+ years) and has a great background training puppies. Between the two of us, your pets will be in great, loving, and knowledgeable hands.

When going out of town for 2 weeks, we did not want to leave Hunter in a kennel for so long. We wanted him to have the human interaction as if he was at home. We decided to leave him with Sam, her husband and Bud and, IT WAS THE BEST DECISION WE COULD MAKE! He was treated as part of their family. Bud and Hunter really got along and became best friends. Their backyard was great for Hunter and Bud. Sam frequently sent pictures and provided updates during the stay. I highly recommend her and her family when looking for a loving spot to leave your dog.

Samantha took great care of Neil. Her backyard was great for Neil and her dog Buddy to run and play in. She kept me up to date with a picture/quick text each day. She even had a crate for my Lab/Great Dane to stay in which made the stay simpler for me. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone else looking for a loving spot to leave their dog.

Samantha was great. They had a big back yard and another pup to play with. Braxton and their pup became best friends. I'm not sure he wanted to come back home. lol She even gave Braxy a bath when the pups had too much fun outside. 5 stars. Will Def Use again.

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

Before I start caring for your dog, there are a few things I need to know to make sure your pooch gets everything they need! I'll need to know how big they are and how much to feed them, along with any medications they are on. I'll also be interested in what their temperament is, so when I take them on walks I know how they will act around other people or dogs. Additionally, I will want to know what they like to do - swim, play with other dogs, chew on bones, ect, so I know how to help your pup have the best possible time while you're gone!

A typical day

Your puppy will love hanging out with me! Hanging out with my puppy, Bud, is always an option, as is heading to the park or the beach (with your permission, of course)! You will get photo updates of the wonderful time your dog is having while you're away.
