i’ve had 3 pet dogs in my life since i was 10 years old, 13 years later, i’m down to two and i still love them with all my heart! i moved from Connecticut to Florida and looking to work doing something i love, caring for pets :) i know lots of the dogs on my street and i want to meet more! i have a neighbor who relies on me to watch her male chihuahua once in a while when her female pomski is in heat, and i used watch my cousins shihtzu when they would travel. i’m very strict about walking these guys on a schedule. my dogs have to go outside at least every 7 hours or less (i try to walk them whenever i have to “go” to get an idea). i have lots of experience with pets (mainly small and medium dogs 2-25lbs) i enjoy learning their different personalities likes and dislikes. i’ll care for your dog like it’s my own, :) <3 i’m happy to send constant updates feel free to ask me any questions about my experience and or my own pups :)

Love Samantha. This is my third time having her care for our babies and could not recommend enough. She is very caring and loving in them and I feel very comfortable leaving my doggie and kitty in her hands.

Always thankful to have Samantha to take care of our fur babies. This is my second time hiring her and will definitely be using her again. Both dogs love her and even our kitty gets some love when she comes to walk them.

Safety, trust & environment

in my home i walk my dogs minimum of 3 times a day although most days it’s 4 (they dont wake up through the night and they sleep about 10-12 hours) i make them food most days, they’re picky about their food so i don’t have kibble at home in your home, i can make your pets food as well, so long you provide the ingredients of course i do well with walking them on schedules my dogs go to the dog park maybe once a week or maybe the beach, something fun as a sitter that’s something i can do for you as well im more than happy to take picture and videos and send you updates on your fur baby to help you feel more at ease with the distance between you and them <3

Pets

A typical day

what i like to do with my dogs first thing in the morning is go for a walk. after the walk we come back to eat, i cook some breakfast for myself as well as for them and make sure their water bowl is clean and full. then we’ll hang out a bit, watch tv, or let them hang outside on the balcony if i need to clean so that they don’t get wet or dirty from the floors being swept and mopped. they hang outside with some chew toys and or bones. after cleaning i’ll let them back inside and i might prep them some frozen treats like a peanut butter lick mat and stick that in the freezer some days i’ll take them to the dog park so that they socialize a bit with some other dogs or maybe the beach, my sandy loves to roll in the sand. sometimes we go for car rides, to nowhere in particular, just to get some air on a lazy day, we’ll stay in bed cuddled up, they get lots of petting and scratches and i talk to them (i think they understand to certain degree, at least i hope) we eat lunch and dinner together as well at the same time and then we go on walk last thing before bed every night

please let me know if your fur baby has any special requirements that may be different from other dogs i am used to a pretty usual dog. calm or energetic when happy, i know they like to jump and bark and i’m okay with everything as long as they are polite and not aggressive. i’m familiar with scared dogs who may have unknown backgrounds. i know they may need extra care. let me know what’s something important to you that you do with you pet that you would like me to implement into our routine together as well!
