Availability

With my weekly schedule I have created a supportive routine for me and my pup which definitely has flexibility for more pups. I wake up around 7, walk pup, feed breakfast, head to work, get off around 430/5, go home take pup for walk, feed dinner, play, then head to bed on a daily basis.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

Knowing their everyday routine is crucial! See below for details: Eating schedule How to feed them What makes them happy Medications Training Social with cats, dogs, people? First time with a sitter? Anxiety of any kind Grooming needs (this could vary, please understand that if additional grooming is required there might be an additional charge) Exercise needs Sleep routine Things like that are of top priority.

Pet care experience

With over 18 years experience caring for pets and growing up on a farm you could definitely say I have a love for animals! I take my time getting to know your needs as the pet owner plus always being tedious about your pets needs. The best way to care for pets I’ve found is to be aware of what they need. Some may require extra amounts of playtime while others want brain stimulating activities. Being aware and understanding of the pets needs will help with a successful sitting! Since I do have a dog if I do any type of housesitting and you are willing to let me bring my pup I’ll discount your rate as a thank you! Otherwise my family will care for her in most cases or if you live close enough I will drop in on my pup while I stay at yours.

Samantha is great with my beagles. They got into stuff they shouldn’t have and she graciously cleaned up after them. Very communicative when there was concerns. Will request her services in the future.

Samantha is just wonderful and it is pretty clear she loves animals. We came home to very happy pups, a house the way we left it (maybe cleaner). She communicates very well and we don’t worry when we are gone.

Samantha is always very communicative about how Bella is doing and shows genuine interest in her well being. She applied her medication while watching her. It’s clear she loves animals because I always come home to a happy dog.
