Stay at Home, Vet Tech experience

Pet care experience

I have 6 years of Veterinary Technician experience but left my full time at the hospital to pursue pet sitting. I am a stay at home wife and now opening my services for drop ins and dog walking only. Feeding, caring for, walking, playing, giving medications, connecting with pets and my clients is what I look forward to. Only 13 minutes away from Sacramento Airport, dropping off your furbbabies will be convenient when heading to the airport for your trip. If you are one of my clients at the hospital or live in my neighborhood, I am more than excited to help you take care of your pets. Overnight boarding is one of my favorite services with or without Rover. Your loved one gets to cuddle all night in the comfort of my cozy home. Please let me know if there is anything extra you would like me to do, challenges keep me on my toes! Whether it is administering medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, or monitoring, allow me to help. My husband Sean, works for the State of California and works full time from home (& plans to stay that way). We both work together to be flexible with how ever your schedule may be. Please be aware, I do have clientele off the Rover app, and typically watch 1-3 other pets from the same family at the same time. We recently adopted two kittens in August and have had both cats walking freely around the house with current pet's we watch. If your pet is aggressive towards cats, please be aware. Dogs that we watch either have cat siblings or are curious about them but still kind. We have caught our dog friends cuddling with with the cats and play wjth each other. Then there are other dogs that don’t care about them but are still kind to them. If your pets require no other dogs to be home, please be advised. I do have a doggy door that can separate pups at a time. I will never put your pups in a stressful situation-never. By booking with me, you're accepting to the above. Allow me to meet your expectations. Thank you - Samantha I live in a home with a medium size backyard. But, It's a perfect place for all pups from the size small to large to be safe. I keep my place very clean; therefore, pets owners do not need to worry about their pets picking up stuff on the ground. During their stay at my home, they will get to go out for a walk at least 2-3 times a day and will have full access to the big backyard. Note, I will not take dogs on walks when it is too hot outside. I will ensure to feed pups their meals as I'm told by their parents’ instruction. We will have unlimited play time, whether it is fetch, tug of war or a walk to the park. They are willing to sleep with me upon their parents' request at night. Most importantly, they will get lots of love and enjoy their stay here. I promise to treat them as my own. I will treat them as of how I want my own to be treated. I take care very seriously because I have heard WAY TOO many horror stories of other Rover sitters and other boarding facilities in Sacramento and even up in the Rocklin area. One thing I know for sure is that all pups will enjoy their stay and be being taken care of by my husband Sean and I.

Samantha is Awesme! She took such good care of Dino, my 15 yr old diabetic chihuahua. I will definitely be using Samantha in the future.

Information Samantha E. would like to know about your pet

Common questions: Allergies? Daily routines? How can I help your pet who has anxiety? Emergency contact? How comfortable is your dog around strangers? Do they dog feel threaten by other dogs or people, or is friendly and wants to play? How often is your dog normally walked? Are there restrictions on the amount of walking your dog can do? Is your dog house trained? When is your dog fed and how often? Does your dog sleep in a crate, or has a pillow or some other form of a bed? These will be gone over during meet and greets. My fiancé, also a dog lover who has an office in our home, is nearly always available to assist me with visiting dogs. Together we will take care of your very special family member. We have the boarding experience to handle the different personalities and special needs of dogs.

A typical day

I like to think of my home as a vacation for your pets, a getaway space and an opportunity for them to grow and learn new things. I always offer treats (of course with owner's permission), ask them to do tricks, and of course relax with me after a long day at work. You will expect early morning and night walks, Netflix and sharing meals with your pups and myself. Continuous socialization is also a priority, to help stimulate your loved ones minds and to boost their everyday confidence. I learned this in vet tech school, along with learning from doctors and other specialists. Socialization is very important to a pets life.
