Dog trainer and animal caregiver
Pet care experience
Hey! My name is Samantha but everyone calls me Sam. I grew up on a farm where I took care of cows, horses, dogs, cats, and the occasional injured salamander, rabbit, or bird that hobbled onto our land. I am experienced in training as I worked with my Red Heelers to be cattle dogs and taught basic obedience to dogs of family and friends. I have worked with a mixed veterinarian for over three years so I am comfortable with all types of animals in both happy and stressful situations. If your animals need any medications or basic health care I would be happy to assist. I am currently taking a break from Veterinariy school but have 2 informative years under foot! I have worked in a dog kennel and currently volunteer at Georgia's humane society. I live in a large 3 bedroom house where I can give your pet some quiet space if needed. I am currently an apprentice for KproK9 dog training so love working on training if you would like. A day with me can either be loaded with activities or we can chill on the couch and read. I have a tote of toys just waiting to be played with. I like to go to the park where they can play if its cool and i have a small fenced in yard where they can relieve themselves or just sun bathe. I also have one to three basic training sessions throughout the day to keep up with your training whatever stage you are in. I am excited to have the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I can't wait to welcome your pet into the family for a day or however long your stay!
Reviews
Samantha was Amazing. She was personable during the initial greeting. She sent pictures of Drako and made sure to provide updates during the weekend. I would definitely book her again.
Everytime Samantha watched our pup we feel like she giver her all! She sends pictures and updated throughout the stay! Mozzie gets excited to see her!
Great response time, sent pictures will definitely be rebooking with Sam.
Sam was our first experience with Rover and our first sitter that wasn't family. I can't say enough wonderful things about her! She gave us updates and photos/videos regularly. My dog is a little nervous but he seemed so relaxed and comfortable with her! She gave him plenty of one on one time and snuggles (a must for him)! We will absolutely be bringing him back!

I love to go on walks or to the park in the morning or evening when it is cool. I am avalible to let dogs out every 2 hrs if needed. I also have a pet camera so if I need to leave for some reason your furry friend will still be monitored.

Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know anything needed to make your pets stay as comfortable as possible. Does your dog have any allergies or medical conditions to be aware of? What are their favorite activities? Do they get along with other animals, ect?
A typical day
I love being active! It's definitely weather dependant but if it is cool enough I would go to the beach/park/hike or really any outdoor activity your dog loves! If your dog likes being a couch potato we can also just chill and snuggle in the nice A/C.

My job involves of shadowing dog trainers on the team and learning about the dogs behavior and training techniques. But it is only a couple hours a week so I am home 80% of the time.
