Pet care experience
Since the day I was born, there has always been dogs in my life that are not just companions, but also part of the family. The absolute admiration I have for animals has only increased the older I get, and the more I understand and learn from them. My first 2 dogs were Chamois and Kahlua (lab/shepard mutts), littermates, and sisters. They were tied to the hip. From a young age, I was attentive, played around in the backyard whenever possible, taught them simple tricks, washed, and fed the girls. Learning a lot from my parents, who had dogs in their lives, too, I have applied patience and love to all animal pals. When I was 19, I adopted a young special-needs sweet-as-pie Pitt mix with a history of abuse and severe anxiety. I named him Archer. Although there were many rough patches over time, he and I learned a lot from each other, and we gave him the best possible loving environment to be in. He and I shared a bond like no other. Throughout the years, there were many dogs (and some kitties) always present, whether they were fostered from other family members or temporarily housed. Currently, we have a cheeky Frenchie at home (Ellie). Dogs and cats have mutually given me therapeutic and educational experiences, as well. I uphold reliability and sensibilty with any animals and will always offer a helping hand wherever needed.
Reviews
Samantha is fantastic with all of our animals. She always sends us picture updates and is very attentive and accommodating to any and all needs. Both our dog and cat love when she comes to visit them!
Samantha did a great job watching my two dogs! My pups loved her- she gave them lots of pets and cuddles, were patient with them, and made sure they got plenty of potty breaks. Samantha was very respectful of my home and a great communicator. I highly recommend her and am definitely going to ask her to pet sit again.
Samantha did an Awesome job took pics everyday will use her over and over Thank you so much
This was my first time ever using Rover and Samantha made everything so comfortable & smooth! My boys adored her. I knew based off of our initial meet & greet & her daily pictures my boys were safe & well taken care of! Lots of pictures of my boys snuggled right up with her, soaking it all in! She treated my home like her own. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!

We have a clever 9 year old French Bulldog in my household at present, who lives a spoiled life. She is irresistibly funny, playful, and energetic. She has one eye and spinal issues, which impedes her walking a bit, but doesn't stop her from zooming around the house. She has a good sized backyard to roam around in, and her favorite hobby is eating. She is surprisingly smart, with a few good tricks and quirks to show off. She gets brushed, and bathed to keep her soft and clean. Routinely fed 2 times a day (some treats in between), and given love 24/7.

A typical day
As soon as I walk in the door, I greet them with plenty of pets and enthusiasm! Take care of their "business" first and then, depending on their energy level, get right into some play time or socializing on the floor alongside them. Just being a good friend to any and all animals.
