Pet care experience

Animals are my favorite happiness

I have always loved dogs. Growing up, I never was able to have a dog, but I would dog sit for neighbors and friends sometimes. I am very fond and love to be around animals in general. I currently have two dogs of my own, that we have trained and had since they were puppies. I am very loving towards animals, and make them feel that. One of my dream jobs is to open a doggy day care from home, and be able to take care of many animals.

Samantha was great with our 11 year old Ridgeback mix. Caring, thoughtful, and excellent communication. When I went to pick him up it was clear that he felt very much at home at home with Samantha. Highly recommend, and would definitely return.

Schedule

We are usually pretty open with availability. We also have two dogs of our own, that are very chill. They usually play for a little bit, then get too tired, so they will just lie around the house. When caring for your animals in your home, I will follow the schedule that you have set in stone for them, so they can be as comfortable as they can be while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a townhome. I don't have a fenced in yard, but we do have a fenced off dog area right behind my home. I am willing to take your dog(s) to the park, on walks, play outside. I allow animals on the furniture, in my home, so they will always feel comfortable, if that is what you choose. I love giving treats as well. I am flexible, and willing to make your pet feel right at home, even when you're gone.

Pets

A typical day

I love walking by the Logan River. There is also a dog park around there, so if okay, I can let your dog go play in there. I live right by a beautiful pond, that makes for a great walk too. I love to play fetch, tag, and other games with dogs to let their energy out.
