I had Samantha watch my puppy of 6 months for one week while my family and I traveled out of state. She came over and picked up all my dog's belongings, listened and reviewed instructions for care taking and i was very comfortable in leaving my pup in her hands. My dog took quick liking to her so i felt at ease. While we were away, she made sure to take pictures of her and share with us as we missed her very much! Since she was a puppy, she did watch for worms, etc. and did find that there were and she took time to take my pup to her vet and administer medications needed and she kept us informed. Samantha is extremely responsible and i HIGHLY recommend her! She absolutely loves dogs and knows how to care for them.
