Previous Veterinarian Assistant

Pet care experience

I recently had 2 years of experience working as a Veterinarian Assistant at an animal hospital, which provided me with a wide range of knowledge and skills working with animals. I also now have a pup of my own, named Harley! Additionally, I have grown up with dogs in my household who were the best pets ever. In terms of other experience, I have worked for multiple families to pet sit or dog walk for the last 10 years. Specifically, my best friend's family has 4 dogs, and more than 15 farm animals. They have trusted me multiple weeks and weekends to dog sit and house sit for their animals. It is the best and perfect job for me.

Samantha had a lovely home with ample and friendly grounds for dog-romping, and she and her family's enthusiasm when I dropped my dog off and their dismay at having to say goodbye to her when I picked her up were exactly what this nervous pet owner is relieved to hear. Samantha was great about letting me go through my rundown of my dog's needs, suggested items/necessities I might have forgotten, asked smart and pointed questions about my dog's habits, and seemed totally unflappable and prepared for anything. While I chose not to receive tons of photo updates, she made sure I got a few each day to keep my nerves at bay. I would heartily recommend her services to anyone.

Sam is an awesome young lady. Our little girl maltese Mercy absolutely loves her. Samantha has made this her profession and we know that she is best suited for it. I would have her take care of our three year old mercy any time.

Samantha has taken care of our dogs, cats, heifer, miniature donkeys, goats, chickens and ducks several times. I always know when Samantha is pet sitting for us, our pets will be well cared for, loved and safe. She is great at following our feeding schedule for all our pets. She always makes sure all the pets have fresh water through out the day. Samantha enjoys playing with our dogs and cats. She will often send me updates on how all the pets are doing. I would recommend Samantha to my family and friends!!

Sam was wonderful with my golden retriever! She was reliable, flexible with scheduling, and took great care of my good boy. I highly recommend her!

I am currently in between jobs, so I am home most times during the week. I am working part-time, but that allows me to work from home most of the week as well. While this is subject to change, if you are able to give me enough heads up before booking, I can verify that my schedule will work to take care of your pet.
