Tail-Wagging fun 24/7!

Pet care experience

Hello Pet Parents! My name’s Samantha and I have a Shih Tzu named Cheech. Cheech was a birthday present from my dad a little over 6 years ago. A little about him- he absolutely loves to meet new friends (human, dogs, and cats!) He enjoys being my sidekick, emotional support, security blanket, and fur-child! He loves squeaky toys, treats, knee bones, pig ears, greenies, snuggling, and going buh-bye with me! I take him on nightly walks, I keep his mind sharp by practicing tricks. He is spoiled, I'm not going to try to lie. I really enjoy bringing him anywhere I can, (PetStore) for the fun experience and memories. Trails, Dog parks, disc-golf courses, traveling, Walmart, pharmacy drive thru, etc. I’ve had a variety of my dogs entire life. An English bulldog and 3 shih tzus growing up, a Pomeranian, a German shepherd, and black lab most recently. Dogs m… well, all animals… hold a very special place in my heart, their unconditional love & loyalty makes them family. 💞 All I want to do is give every pup, kitty, horse, etc their best life! I am a very relaxed and easy going Dog-Mom. I take pride in my work and take it seriously, if I was going to have someone want Cheech I would want to know they are trustworthy, diligent, understanding, and patient. I'll do anything to make a pups tail wag!! 🐾💝

We had never left our pets with anyone besides family before. We hesitated to try Rover, but Samantha went above and beyond to keep our home and pets safe. Samantha was at our house with the pets longer than expected and left our house clean. She did a great job feeding all the pets and giving them their medications. We love Samantha and would have her sit again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Samantha, for caring for Riley, Stassi, Hank, Ellie, and Bailey!

Our dog is very nervous around strangers and Samantha made an instant connection with him the moment she arrived. She was loving and patient with him and he took to her right away. She sent me updates through the evening so I didn't have to worry about him. She is compassionate and professional and I would highly recommend her.

Samantha was great with our pets. We have an older dog, so we needed house sitting service. She took the time to come over before the booking to meet the pets and understand their needs. Everything was great.

Safety, trust & environment

I always offer pet/house sitting, if possible I like to bring my shih tzu Cheech with me to boarding jobs. (But I do understand sometimes that isn’t an option. I don’t want any dog or cat feeling like their home is being invaded.) I always like to stay in the home even if you tell me I don’t have to if I don’t want to. If your dog has schedule you’d like followed, I will do that. For boarding and daycare- I offer it when my place of residence allows it. Dog walking and check in visits are always open. I can do realistically 1-3 a day of those.

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there is any "secret" tricks to helping your pup/ animals feel more comfortable around me as their new caretaker. As well as their daily routine! I'll do the very best I can to make sure your fur-baby is as comfortable as he or she can be while in my care! Thanks!

A typical day

We will go on lovely strolls through the neighborhood and trails! Go to a dog park nearby, or play fetch in the backyard. I will never turn away snuggles and teaching tricks to doggos! I am very passionate about my work and gaining diverse experience with dogs.

I love having pets in my routine and they already are everyday. It gives me a reason to get out of bed everyday and go outside when I’m finding that almost impossible. They can always put a smaller on my face. So, I’m happy to do it!
