Loving Pet Sitter

I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

Samantha is the best!! She sent so many updates of my pups, and was super communicative about how they were doing. When we ran into travel issues, she was so helpful and stayed an extra night with our babies. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Samantha was amazing to work with! Not only did she accept my dog at the last minute, but also agreed to taking my friend's dog as well so the two could play. She took them to the dog park to run around and gave great updates throughout the day. George was so tired when I came home (a very difficult task for an active Aussie). She was so accommodating and I cannot recommend her enough!

Samantha was absolutely amazing to leave my girl Scout with. She was extremely professional and focused on safety first. I felt more than comforted knowing Scout was with Samantha. Samantha asked me many questions to make sure she could confidently provide Scout the best care possible. She gave Scout plenty of attention and I know she was have a fantastic time the whole time I was away. I completely would recommend Samantha as she gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town.

Samantha did a great job caring for my dog! She sent multiple photos throughout the weekend where Clover was obviously very comfortable and well taken care of. I didn’t hesitate to book her again for another long weekend!

I meet every owner and animal before I take care of any animal for the safety of myself and your animal. Also, I would like to know if your dog has any special needs. I am used to giving oral medications on a daily basis as well as injectable medication, due to taking care of a dog with diabetes and allergies. I am also used to doing ear washes as well if needed. I am also used to taking care of dogs with heart murmurs. I research any special needs before I take care of any dog as well as specific breeds.
