Samantha G. must feel that dogs don't need water because as far as we can tell she never gave ours any. We have 3 dogs, 2 large dobermans and a small 5 pound dog. The only water that the small dog can reach is in the house, the 2 larger dogs have water outside. Samantha never once filled the outside water. The cold weather cover was still in place and hadn't been removed. The water outside lasts for around 3 days. We were gone for 5. the water container was BONE DRY! The inside water bowls were also BONE DRY! Not "O they drank it all today" dry. Were talking dry and dusty. They had to have been without water for several days at least. Once we got home and gave them some they drank like crazy. We texted and emailed her several times during the week we were out of town and only heard back once on the day we were coming back. I assume that was the day she stopped by to check on them. If I could give lower than a 1 star I would.

Sam is great with animals, very loving and caring! She knows how to work with dogs of any age and various breeds. I would highly recommend her if you arr looking for a caring responsible caregiver to watch your animals while you are away.
