Pet care experience

1 big heart for 4 legged friends❤️

I have always been a huge pet lover to dogs, cats, and every single animal my entire life. I attended grooming school and received my certification in 2024. I’ve owned my own family pets growing up including a lot of dogs. My experience is great with animals and I’m familiar with everything. I also have taken a vet technician course for a year back in high school as well. I love taking care of animals and spending time with them, knowing that I’m there to care for them and making them happy makes me feel successful. I love taking them for long walks and giving them their play/cuddle/nap time. I love everything about animals and it’s a passion to work with such amazing furballs. I've taken care of my own animals over the course of my entire life. My friends and family trust me to watch their own little fur babies and I absolutely love it. I have such a passion and love for animals; that is why I love being able to be around them in my spare time and help others whenever I can. I have rover and used to do that in my spare time as well. I’m a very respectful, trustworthy, friendly, clean, outgoing, hard-working, honest individual.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 21, 2023

Samantha was able to watch Archie on last-minute notice and she was great! She sent pictures and was very communicative during his stay. I’d definitely feel comfortable having Archie stay with Samantha again!

Dog Walking • Oct 31, 2022

Samantha was so wonderful with our dog and with us. We had a last minute trip away and Samantha was in constant communication with us on every walk. She’s also super sweet, dependable, reliable, and most of all, our dog loved her. We will definitely use her again and everyone should, too!

I have known Samantha since she lived on our block as a toddler. Sam has always been a dog whisperer. At that time, Jack, our beloved Jack Russell, was a hyper puppy, and needed lots of love and patience. Sam bonded with him immediately, calmed him down and from that point, Sam was one of Jack's favorite people. He loved her belly rubs. When my family travelled, Sam would take Jack for walks, spend time with him in our home and even bring him home to be with her two dogs, Buddy and Cody. After Jack passed over the rainbow bridge, we brought Netty, a rescue golden retriever, into our home. Netty was a handful, and loved to play. Sam was always ready to play with him, give him a bone and trained Netty to sit! Sam was known as the neighborhood pet watcher before the day. Many of our friends and family members wouldn't think of asking anyone else to watch their beloved family member! Sam pays attention to our beloved's diets and schedule, and enforces the rules of the house (crating or wee wee pads) and always stays in close contact and provides pictures to stay in touch. Also, Sam knows the dogs so well, she instinctively is able to tell when something is going on with them. She once told me about an infection that Netty had that I was unaware of. She is a five star and loving pet sitter.

Let me know if your dog or pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am fine with any type of breed or weight as well. I definitely need to know of any dietary restrictions, medications that need to be administered and their complete routine in order to make your fur babies feel right at home and comfortable with me.
