Safety, trust & environment

I own 2 cats so, keeping my living space clean and dusted for my youngest cat that has asthma is important to me. I prioritize cuddle time and tight feeding schedules. Cats are routine animals. My Mom always taught me to leave a house better than how I found it. I tend to clean, dust. Little things to keep myself busy.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I am familiar with most breeds. I usually like to have a schedule written out or texted before hand so that I can cater to your little ones needs. I like to be well prepared. leaving out notes sets me up for success. If you need help learning how to update your pets care instructions, please let me know. Or look at my profile for an example on how to set up your PetPage profile. I understand that I have two cats not dogs however, if you look at the care instructions, I set a good example on where to put the feeding schedule. Medicine needs, and other important details for the sitter to know. I am a petite woman however, I am strong. I don't take on dogs that may overpower me on walks of course.

A typical day

Fetch! Tug of war! I provide plenty of outside time for them. Lots of scratches and cuddles. I prefer to schedule a Meet and Greet before a booking is finalized. It's important to me that the dog is comfortable with me in their environment before owners leave. I have yet to run into an issue, however I am a plan ahead type person and I want you to be able to relax while you're on your trips or holiday. :)

Pet care experience

I understand that to build a relationship takes patience. It takes love and a gentle approach. I have a lot of experience with patience when it comes to giving dogs the time they need to build trust in me. I would definitely consider myself an animal person. They love unconditionally but they also need us to love them unconditionally and care for them. I have worked with several animals from birds to goats to chickens and even hamsters. Hello, my name is Samantha for a quick introduction I served in the US Navy for two years (Honorable Medical Discharge) my time was short lived but it was an honor to be apart of something greater than myself. (CS, E-3, USS George Washington with an added 6 years of reserves when I got home). I moved to Texas 7 years ago and during covid signed up for Rover. One of my ambitions is to become a veterinarian! I was the kid in school that wanted to be a marine biologist. My favorite mammal on earth is the killer whale... lol I never new how much joy this opportunity would bring me. I would love to be of service if you’d like a holiday. I treat dogs as if they were my own. With love, cuddles and plenty of playtime. I am very empathetic and understand deeply how important relationships with not only the dogs but with the owners.
