Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any particular habits or special needs that I need to look out for, like they love to run or they don't do well at the dog park.

A typical day

I take a daily walk around my local park which is in close proximity to a dog park if your dog likes to socialize or we can play at the park. If your dog is high energy there is also a close hiking trail that we can blaze. If you're a little outside of my area we can walk around your neighborhood and find a nice park to play.

I’ll love your pet like it was mine

Pet care experience

I love many animals, especially dogs. Growing up I raised many litters of puppies and have always been around dogs. A several years ago my senior dogs passed away. And it took until recently for me to get another dog. Since I’ve taken care of family dogs and realized that this is something I would really like to do with my spare time, and I’d appreciate it if you would let me watch your fur family member. While taking care of your dog I will treat them like them they were my own and make sure they are well-tended. I like to go on runs and hikes so if you have dogs that need that extra exercise I can provide all the exercise they need. Your buddy is my buddy. I am fully insured as a pet sitter and certified in dog and cat CPR and First Aid.

Samantha took excellent care of my two cats and two birds. They were happy and comfortable during our time away. She followed all instructions and ensured each pet was doing well. She’s very tidy, too. I will definitely be using her services again.
