Pet Whisperer
Pet care experience
I’m privileged to have had many cats, dogs and miscellaneous wild animals under my care from their infancy through to their transition to the rainbow bridge.
Reviews
Samantha had been the owner of many pets and has treated them all with care. She enjoys making the animals happy and comfortable. Samantha takes care in keeping them out of trouble and entertained. She is a loving pet owner and caretaker.
Ever since knowing Samantha, and having her watch our pets. I can 110% say that she is the best dog watcher that you'll need. Not only does she love them, and treat them as her own, but she also makes sure that everything is taken care of. Whether it come to making sure your dog gets their medication to exactly how you want them fed. I loved having Sam watch my pets, and I will 100% go back to her. Her friendly caring demeanor and professionalism give me a good feeling I've found a dog sitter for life! Do not pass her up, she's worth your time and investment to watch over your furbabies! :)
Samantha is the pet whisperer, she has a calm spirit about her. Your pet will feel the love from her and will be taken care of. She is an animal lover.
About Samantha R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My home has a relatively large fenced in back yard, we don’t leave things on the ground to be chewed or choked on, and for older critters, I have a baby gate blocking access to the staircase. My office is a room at the northeast end of my home that doesn’t have much sound and I have many floor pillows in there. This is a great room for stressed/anxious ones to relax and snuggle. Also, my animals are allowed on couches, and I have a soft step-stool for the shorter and/or less athletic types. Food and water are also easily accessible and in a spot where I have a great line-of-sight to them when they’re eating without having to get close to watch. In someone’s home, I first make note of and address direct concerns of the owner(s). Aside from that and my own safety checks (above), I ensure doors and windows are secure in the rooms the animals will access.
Home
Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet
-Required medications or therapies -Behavior/Personality (Is your pup shy with strangers? A social butterfly? Not a particularly good listener?) -Has the dog been abused in the past? -Does your pup come when called? (This will let me know if I need to let pups out on a leash even if they’re in a fenced-in yard.) -What commands, hand signals, and body language do you use to communicate with your dog so I may do the same?
A typical day
We’ll work on puzzles that give treats for right answers, take a minimum 45-min walk (will adjust for age/health of dog & weather), basic command training/refreshers, head to a park near my home, and watching the squirrels in the backyard.
