Samantha can care for
Availability
I currently work FT at O'Hare. So I am gone during the day. Typically I work M-Th but I can adjust as needed. Depending on where you live there is a possibility I can bring them to my mom's for doggy day care( we have a dog run so they can be outside as much as they like)or she can potentially let them out in the your yard (no walks) mid day if you're close to where I live.

Safety, trust & environment
I will come in and treat it just like I was you, so other then a new person their lives won't have to change to much. I will touch base asking any questions I may have and send pictures regularly.
Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet
I love animals, I will play catch, tug of war anything with them. I'm willing to take them to a dog park, walk around the lake or play in the yard. If they are bed animals and I'm staying the night I'm more then happy to let then in the bed with me or cuddle on the couch. And give tons of belly rubs.
A typical day
I am willing to work with whatever style you like. I personally love some pup cuddles, I will allow all animals in the bed if that's what they are used to. During the summer I love going to the dog beach and long walks. I am used to handling multiple dogs and cats, my former Neighbor is a vet so I'm used to having up to 7 dogs(all sizes) +cats at one time.

Pets
Seasoned sitter, loves all pets!!
Pet care experience
I'm a 38 yr old professional working at O'hare. Currently working 9-5. I Love dogs of all sizes I have grown up with them. I have been dog Sitting since I was a teenager. I am experienced with medicine administration, excluding shots but I'd be open to learning if need be. I just recently leaned to administer IV fluids to my cat so I have a little experience now. I will send pictures daily as well. I love dog cuddling as well as cats. I prefer to sit in your home I feel it is less stressful on the animal having only a new person around instead of a stranger and a strange environment. I generally try and avoid doing FT watching at my house as my cat is very picky with the dogs he likes, but I'd be open with the right dog. I am used to living out of a suitcase I often go straight from one dog job to the next. I live in a 2 flat with my parents so my mom can help during the day if need be. My parents have a friendly dog and we have a large fenced yard and dog run. I currently have 1 cat which I inherited when my former Neighbor moved out of the county. I used to sit for them while they went on vacation for their numerous pets cats and dogs (5+). I do have a car so I can get around or take "kids" anywhere needed including the doggie beach. Most of my regular clients are all along the Northshore/burbs. **Please don't take the lack of current reviews as a bad sign I have a lot of regulars and get a bunch of jobs as referrals, I try and keep my calendar up to date if I'm unavailable it means I'm booked for another sitting job. **
Reviews
Samantha was really wonderful looking after our 2 boys and the house while we were away for the holidays. She sent pictures and updates everyday, and didn't hesitate to text with a question, so I felt very comfortable that she was on top of everything. I will not hesitate to book Samantha again, and I know Sammy will look forward to snuggling with her!
Super communicative, responsible and loving with our pups!
Samantha was great. I love having her come and watch Milo. She's very communicative to everything that's happening and sends a ton of pictures. He loves her!
Samantha took care of my large pet crew while I traveled. She sent great pictures, and I never worried about their care. When I got home, I could tell the pets had a great time and were not stressed. I would recommend Samantha highly!
