Pet care experience

SAMMYWOOFS GOT YOUR BACK!

Hello I'm Sammy Woof I have a whirlwind of experience with all kinds of animals! (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, even chickens!) I have my Certificate in Holistic Pet Care from Penn Foster, as well as being a basic groomer and great bather! I believe in allowing an animal to be in touch with their instincts but respecting their owners boundaries. I think about pets get their manners and feelings from their owner, so being calm cool and collective around your pup or rescue is important. I have two furbabies of my own, so I know how it goes. They are our children! I am very active and like working with rescues and small pups with lots of energy to get mine out. I also have a soft spot of the elderly because I believe in nurturing those who need it most. I will never be too overbearing to a shy dog and I immediately correct a rowdy pup! Hope you give me a wag/woof! :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I allow the pet to be the boss in their home, it's their vacation too. However, they will respect boundaries and not destroy what they have been given. Walks, dog park, play time will always be priority. As long as you allow it. I always as first if they can go to a dog park/car ride to the beach or trail near town.

Samantha did a wonderful job with our hound mix Beau recently! She is responsible and conscientious, and a natural with dogs. Highly recommend.

Samantha is an absolute joy to be around, and even more a joy for dogs, cats, birds (she loves birds), fish, and any sort of pet companion you can imagine! Sam truly cares about the welfare and well being of my pets and I have never been more charmed by such a sweet young woman. Lock her in, she's great!

I have two golden retrievers who run to the door every time they see sams car pull up. I know my babies are in good hands when I leave them for the day. Plus the pics she sends of them are an added bonus.

Schedule

It's been a career of mine since I was in late 20's, now that I have been through the ringer of VetMed I want to bring pet sitting back into my daily routine. I am in my 30's now obtaining a Master online at FDU in editing in film, which is what I got my BA in but then lead me into petcare. So house sitting and walking will be my only 2 things able to fit my schedule right now. I will always be available for your Animal and create beautiful images and videos for you!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Samantha can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I have a shiba inu (neutered) and mini labradoodle (intact) - I call them them the ying yang twins/the brat pack. *Both very good boys and NO BOTHER. if any dog comes over, at least this far I have had no problems. (Cowboy the labradoodle intact is 3rd/2nd now in the pack... he is very submissive. He'll sniffing then run away to pee on everything cuz he's silly... it's just up to the other male/female dog how they react... if I'm watching or walking shouldn't be a problem or we just leave) I don't like trouble. the biggest dog i've sat is a greater swiss mountain dog - 225lbs and a doodle up to 80lbs. I love them all, again, animals are instinctual like people. It's all up to the meet and greet.
