Flexible Petsitter/Dog walker

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a caring and loving pet owner myself with flexible hours willing to work in the comfort of your own home. I have had 4 great years of care and responsibility to the animal community, from boarding facilities/kennels, too breeding husky's right in the heart of Vermont. I am here to help my community and pet parents! I love all dogs small to large, puppy to senior, crazy to mellow, messy to clean, and though I am not certified as a professional dog trainer I have taught myself to train some of the most stubborn breeds of dog there is. I also welcome cats, ferrets, and small animals into my heart as well. We need animals as much as they need us and I am very exited to start this adventure with you and your fur baby.

I've known Sammie for nearly 6 years, and her character is indisputably and consistently outstanding. Since I have known her, Sammie has wanted a dog, and her dreams were fulfilled about 3 years ago when she adopted a Husky puppy. Since that time, I have seen less of Sammie, and more of her dog! Her Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and all other social media accounts are just dripping with images and praise for her pet, and the bond that they have is undeniable. It's shown constantly through the repeated posting of pictures, the oft-posted videos, and (most effectively) it is shown through the way she acts around dogs. She just loves animals, and from working at Petco to owning her dog, her love for animals is bar none. My favorite display of her affection for animals is when she posts video of her and her dog howling together; Sammie will howl, and look expectantly at her Husky. He'll look at her, and then throw his head back and howl (but he does it juuust a little longer than Sammie does, to show her he's the boss). Sammie will giggle (that dog is just contagiously adorable) and will attempt to one-up the dog with a slightly longer howl. He lets her know who's in charge yet again with a game-ending, 25-second howl that shows everyone that he's got this down. Not many dog owners will howl with their dogs; it's either too loud, too annoying, too disruptive. Lots of pet owners these days want a dog, but they actually want a cat; they want the companionship, but they're too busy to take the dog out, take it for walks, spend meaningful time with it. But Sammie is never too busy to take that dog for a walk, or sit and play with it, or howl with it. Just as it fulfills the dog's need for attention, it fulfill's Sammie's unending need to be around animals. She's one of the most capable animal caregivers I've ever known, and if I needed to step away for a time (anywhere from a few hours to a couple weeks, or longer) I'd trust nobody more than Sammie to look after my pets.

In addition to Samantha’s great love of animals, she has multiple years of experience providing professional care for dogs and other animals. She has a strong passion and talent for animal care, and she grew up around many different dogs. Because she regularly provides excellent care for my dogs, I can confidently say that she is knowledgeable, responsible, and comfortable while caring for pets. Not only is she highly skilled and educated in animal care, but she also has extensive knowledge of dog training, behavior, and even health. Additionally, as a former coworker of Samanatha’s, I have experienced her interacting with and caring for hundreds of dogs ranging in size (up to 260 lbs), age, activity level, and health. I would highly recommend Samantha to any pet parent looking for a loving and qualified pet sitter.

Samantha is an animal lover! An animal can’t be too big or too small. She has a big heart and that comes through as a caregiver. She has experience with many kinds of dogs. Samantha has worked my dog multiple times. My dog can be challenging to say the least. The last time, my dog had a stomach bug and Samantha handled the situation well. She has the patience needed in a difficult time. I would highly recommend Samantha to keep an eye on your pet.
