My dog is actually my best friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve had my Jack-Russel terrier in my life for 5 beautiful years. He’s proven to be a handful at times but he has been the best training for all the other dogs I’ve come to know and love. From tiny to gigantic, lazy to highly energetic dogs, I realize that what all dogs really need is love, understanding, and safety. I have been publicly dog walking for almost a year now. Caring for pets has been a true joy and privilege over the last few years and I hope to continue full time.

I’ve only known Sam for a short amount of time but there’s no denying her pure love for dogs and animals in general. I work with her in a restaurant and any time we get a dog sitting outside she makes it her mission to give them a bowl of water and give them lots of attention and treats, privy to their owner’s allowance. She’s very affectionate with every animal she crosses. She always talks about needing to spend more of her time fulfilling her passions and I know that doggy care is in her top 5 personal goals. She’s overal a very sweet person and I think would make a great dog walker/sitter.

Samantha loves dogs, perhaps more than she loves people. As someone who used to work with her in the past I can say that she is very reliable and true to her word. I have two dogs myself (a Siberian husky and an American beagle) and she has spent some time with hem and is always very sweet and attentive, as if every dog she meets is immediately one of her own children.

Samantha is a great dog owner. She takes care of her dog at home with the utmost love and affection, and every dog that comes into contact with her loves her right away. She's dog sat, and dog walked independently and has always gotten good reviews, and most of all she loves dogs just as much as she loves people, I'm sure she'd do this for free if she could.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, our pets are like family. They sleep with us, eat with us, and hang out with us not only inside but in the yard and on the porch. When caring in other peoples homes, I always make sure to familiarize myself with the pet owners rules and the locations of all essentials for the pets. I love to play with pets and reward them with treats so oftentimes I bring my own treats and with the blessing of their parent, we always have a fun and treat-filled time.

I only work 3-4 days a week; 4-5 hours a day at a media marketing job in Mount Rainier MD. While I love what I do I thrive on having extensive off time where I don’t have to clock in. Filling most of that time with daily walks with dogs have not only brought me joy but has allowed me to function financially in multiple part times.
