Dog Sitter, Walker, & Groomer!!

Pet care experience

My experience in pet care spans various aspects, including cat and dog sitting, boarding, and dog walking. Over the years, I have provided loving and responsible care to numerous pets, ensuring their comfort and happiness while their owners were away. In addition to my practical experience, I have pursued formal education to enhance my expertise. I have completed courses in Intro to Veterinary Medicine, Grooming, and Canine Behavior, gaining valuable insights into animal health and behavior management. My training also extends to positive reinforcement techniques, as I served as a dog training apprentice and a behaviorist liaison, promoting ethical and effective training methods. Currently, I am employed at an animal hospital, where I play a vital role in caring for animals under medical supervision. This position has further honed my skills in animal healthcare, ensuring that I can provide the highest standard of care to every pet in my charge. I am deeply committed to advancing my career in the field of animal care, which is why I am currently pursuing a degree to become a veterinary technician. After obtaining this degree, my goal is to move on to the pre-vet track to become a Veterinarian. My educational journey reflects my dedication to professional growth and my aspiration to contribute meaningfully to the veterinary community.

Information Samantha J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog breed, (if unknown history- the weight of the dog), personality type (friendly, laidback, social, aggressive, shy, shy to only strangers), and how often they go on walks per week. I have absolutely no breed preferences.

A typical day

My favorite place to take dogs for walks while staying with me is Ames Nowell State Park. It is a beautiful trail along a large pond. It’s a long walk and the dogs absolutely love it! I also love to provide the animals in my car with mental stimulation as well. I have my own variety of cat and dog treat toys, kongs, slow feeders, and lots of other fun toys for them while they are under my care.
