Treating every dog as my own!
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs all my life! Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Pit Bulls and currently, a Husky mix! I’m comfortable around all types of dogs and know how to keep walks safe and fun! I really enjoy being outside and being active so walking your dog would be a treat for me as well as your pup!

Safety, trust & environment
I take entering your home very seriously. If I’m given a key, I keep it on a special dog walking key chain that I keep in a safe place. If there’s a hide-a-key or lockbox, I make certain to secure the key safely. When it comes to actually walking your dog, I make sure to go over with you the procedures and commands you already use.
Information Samantha F. would like to know about your pet
I think it's important to take the time to get to know a dog. Especially if I'm house sitting. Dogs can get pretty anxious when their owners are away so I'd like to make the dog feel as comfortable as possible by meeting him/her beforehand and going on a walk together with the owner.
A typical day
I enjoy walking so wherever your dog feels most comfortable is where we'll walk. If your dog enjoys fetch then we can play fetch. I know some dogs enjoy the dog park so with the owners permission, the dog park is definitely an option. Also, let me know if your dog has a favorite toy and we can play! Also be prepared for updates and pictures! I love taking great pics of my dogs for their owners.

Availability
My schedule is pretty flexible. I work from home and usually during the night hours so I’m available during the day to come by when you need. I’m ok with last minute cancellations as well as varied schedules. Just let me know each Sunday what you need for the week and we’ll go from there!
