I'm a dog lover, let's meet up!

Pet care experience

When I was growing up, our family always had a dog in the house. Dogs in our household were another family member. Since moving out, I have always wanted a dog; a best friend to take with me everywhere. However, I have been in school or working for the last 6 years and have not had the proper time requirements to own a fur baby of my own. A friend told me about Rover and this sounds like the perfect opportunity to get some canine love and help out members of the community. As a recent college graduate currently looking for a job, I am very available. Starting in the mornings and throughout the day, I am available for walking your dogs. For house sitting, I can be there as much or as little as you would like me to be. I currently have the availability to stay over night, keeping watch over your home and making sure your dog remains happy and healthy while you're away. Whether it's house sitting or just taking your dog to the park while you're at work, you can get as many or as little updates as you would like. Want some pet selfies? You got it! Want to know how many new friends they made at the dog park? Definitely! I want to keep communication as open as possible so you feel safe and comfortable leaving me with your furry children. **From the time I was born until I was 18, I lived with 3 different dogs; all yellow Labrador Retrievers. I put my experience at 4 years because while I have spent much time being around dogs, I didn't start fully caring for them until I was in high school. Throughout the years though I have dog-sitted for my parents friends; staying at their homes making sure their cats and dogs were fed and let out enough, while also keeping their house clean and safe. I have also cat-sitted for clients I have met through other jobs I was working.

Samantha was excellent! She was responsible and made my old dog her priority. What more could I ask for? She left the house spotless, and my dog happy. My only hesitation in recommending her so highly would be that she would get too busy to come to my place again!

Samantha is a gem. She is so good with my rescue dog who has anxiety issues. She is always patient and conpassionate toward him, and I completely trust her to keep him safe and entertained while out on walks or just hanging out at home. Samantha is a true animal lover and that quality shines through whenever she is near any animal. Additionally, she is always on time and always pleasant to be around. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone!

Sam is a loving and kind person. She is eager to learn and do the best job she can when put to a task. She absolutely loves dogs and working with them. She is always one to be on time and smiling when she gets there. She would be a great doggy watcher and dog snuggler.

I can't think of a better dog sitter than Samantha. She is one of those that will stop on the street to interact with an unknown dog and be the one at a party sitting with the dog. Samantha is very loving, reliable and completely honest. We have her booked in a couple of weeks to take care of our Lucy, and we're very particular about who watches our dog. We highly recommend Samantha.

Information Samantha E. would like to know about your pet

What kind of personality does your dog have? How do they react to other dogs? Children? Should we go on walks places where there will not be much human or dog interaction? Is your dog on any medication or special dietary restrictions? Are there any foods you keep them away from specifically? How well do they respond to simple commands? Sit, stay, leave it, down, etc. Can we go to off-leash parks or would you prefer walks on leash? I do not have any breed preferences, but I will say that I do not have much experience with aggressive dogs. And as much as I love puppies, I would prefer not to work with them.

A typical day

I am new to the dog community of Bellingham, but for starters I would love to go to some of my favorite trails around town that are suitable for dogs; North Shore Trail Head at Lake Whatcom, Lake Padden, the trail from Bellingham to Boulevard Park, and Whatcom Falls Park. Where are your dogs favorite places to visit? Lets go there!
