Experienced Tech for the needy pet

Pet care experience

Hey there! Thank you for your interest in my services, I have a wide range of experience and have worked in a plethora of animal based fields from private boarding and in-home pet care to an acting lead vet tech at a City Shelter. My passion is providing that fine detailed care for pets that need that extra mile. I have no qualms about helping out in any way that's needed and I do not mind doing the "dirty" job. I enjoy having great lasting relationships with my clientele. I enjoy working with all dog breeds and size and can work with even the most timid of pup. I believe in being punctual and detail oriented. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Samantha is awesome!, she was able to care for our 16 year old lab mix with arthritis and separation anxiety. In spite of all the problems associated with a senior dog with mobility issues she was able to keep our puppy as comfortable and happy as possible. Samantha is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced care giver for dogs we have seen so far.

I am very happy that we connected with Samantha. My husband and I were looking for someone who either has or had experience with German Shepherds and their quirks. Let me just say that my two big boys really like Samantha. They are pretty friendly dogs but they do have a protective nature and sometimes can take a while to warm up. Thankfully that wasn't the case with Samantha, they were very happy to meet her and even gave her kisses. She's just amazing. I kinda don't want to harp on and on with how wonderful she is because I want to make sure we still have her when we need her. :)We will definitely be in touch with Samantha in the future!

My 7 year old German shepherd loves Samantha! I loved that she did not seem intimidated by him like some people can be. He is a handful, but she was so great with him. I trust her with my baby boy 100%! She has such a huge heart for all animals and her vet tech experience is a huge plus! It puts me at ease to know that if anything happened to him, that she would know exactly what to do in any situation. I know she would do anything for him, so I feel comfortable leaving him with her. We just love Samantha and know you and your dogs will too!!

No breed preferences but I am particular about aggressive dogs and will consider each case on an individual basis

A typical day

I enjoy all sorts of activities from agility to fly-ball to just lounging around. I have no issues exercising in house or even just working on basic commands. My personal dogs all range from treadmill obsessed to couch potato, so no dog is too much for me.
