Safety, trust & environment

I give my own pets as much love as they want. Once my cat sits on me I don't move, I'm sure other cat owners are aware of this unwritten rule. As with cats though I understand that sometimes pets want to be alone, they don't want pets and I have learned to recognize and respect that. They are their own individuals with their own boundaries that I do my best to accommodate. I am able to handle all sizes and fur lengths of dogs and cats. I am happy to brush fur and give bathes, even to cats. Multiple pets is no problem, in my opinion the more the merrier! I also grew up with rabbits and more recently had hamsters! Not only that but I also took care of my neighbors rats and geckos for her before so I truly am comfortable with any animal.

Information Samantha J. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs, typical walk length, a routine if there is one, feeding times, any furniture they're not supposed to be on. Where everything is located that I may need including for feedings and possibly cleaning supplies.

A typical day

Lots of pets will be had and of course if walks are requested they will done at a speed comfortable for the dog. I'm happy to go on runs if that is what they're used to. I am a college student so if the owner is alright with it I'd wmdo walks around the campus so they can get lots of socialization time and pets.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of many types of dogs over the past few years for friends and family. I grew up with cats and always begged my parents for a dog but I was always told no and to instead go take care of my neighbors dogs to get my dog time in. So that is what I did and it has only made my love and want for dogs grow. I can handle larger dogs as well as tiny dogs and am more than happy to stay as long as needed with them. I also have experience with cats, hamsters, geckos, rats and bunnies. I understand how important our pets are to us all and how leaving them can be stressful. I want to alleviate some of that stress by taking good care of your pets and providing them with as much love a animal lover can.
