Pet care experience

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 :)

Samantha watched my cat Max and my puppy Nicky while I was out of town. She went above and beyond for my fur babies. She was very honest, responsible, respectful, and most importantly she was very kind. My pets love her and she was super patient with my cat who is very clingy and has separation anxiety. My puppy Nicky is super energetic and super playful and not a lot of people handle that well but Samantha was great with him. I would definitely recommend Samantha to friends and family she was great.

Samantha is great caretaker! Even in emergencies she will be there. She has been babysitting my little dachshund for the past 4 years, and he loves staying with her and her family!

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

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!

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
