Dog lover w/ flexible schedule
Pet care experience
Hello everyone! I've grown up around dogs, including being involved with raising service dog candidates in high school. I'm currently a UI student with one dog of my own (an 8 month old lab mix that we rescued at 9 weeks, so I'm well prepared for puppies!) and I'm excited to get to meet & spend some time with your precious pups as well! I'm experienced with puppies, working breeds, giant breeds (I grew up with English mastiffs), senior dogs, and some special needs dogs. I know basic first aid and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications. Dog aggressive or leash reactive dogs are OK - not comfortable handling human-aggressive dogs. I'll do my best to stick to any leash training rules you have as well, if applicable to your dog!
About Samantha M.
Skills
Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet
Would just like to be aware of any special considerations (dog aggression, leash reactive, etc.) before taking dog out! Additionally, any training considerations as I'll do my best to adhere.
A typical day
Walks around the neighborhood or could travel to the bike paths/hiking trails around Iowa City, weather permitting! If dog is OK for dog park, that would also be an option! I have a very friendly lab mix pup of my own so if client OK's it, would be happy to have "play-dates" as part of exercise during walks/drop-ins. If not, solo walks/runs/fetch it is! I am an avid runner/biker, so if there are dogs that would like to run or run alongside a bike I'd be happy to provide that.
