Will play tug of sock with your dog

Pet care experience

As a pet owner who has owned animals from goldfish to guinea pigs I provide care, compassion, and the sensitivity that is required to take care of any animal, especially dogs. When I was much younger I had to take of my childhood friend's cocker spaniel labrador mix, Tasha, in which I had to provide the basic necessities such as feeding her and providing her with plenty of exercise. One of my fond memories of Tasha was walking her and although I was entirely new to the idea of walking a dog I can recall that it gave me a great feeling of pleasure when I was holding that leash. I cannot wait to meet your dog on my days of availability which is everyday including weekends!

Samantha was a wonderful sitter. She is extremely prompt and communicative, and also very flexible and understanding with our last minute changes. I have a rescue dog with a lot of anxiety and special needs and she made me feel very comfortable leaving Tippi with her. She also seems like a pro-dog walker, very confident and capable (and Tippi has aggression issues with dogs on leash). Tippi seems to really like her too! I would love to book Samantha again in the future.

Samantha gave up her Saturday night to come to my apartment and sit with my dog who has separation anxiety for 5 hours while I was out. My dog liked her! I will reach out to her again.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

What I would really like to know before sitting a dog if there are any health related issues I should be aware about such as allergic reactions to certain kinds of food, toys, etc. As of now I have no breed preferences

A typical day

If chosen to be a dog walker I propose walking through certain parks or on a pier which I believe can be truly beneficial for both the myself as well as a dog. A visit to a dog park would certainly be nice for I have seen that many dogs that live throughout New York City love a good dog park. A fun activity that I could do is a nice game of tug of sock and catch and chase which was created by my partner's dog named Sibyl in which I would throw a small toy for her to initially catch and thence she would take it and run all over the apartment with it and I would have to chase her. I think it is such a fun and original thing to do. I also love taking Sibyl and spinning around the room with her in my arms, I think it would be fun for any small dog provided that it is ok with the owners first. Plus I love bouncing up and down with her in my arms too and I would love to do that with any dog that I am fortunate enough to take care of. Not to worry I won't make sure that happens with a big dog, in fact I prefer a nice game of catch and chase or tug of sock. I think it's always good to be original.
