Hi- I’m Sam and I’m new to Rover, but not new to pet care! I have over 8 years of professional experience in pet care. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and I have never seen a dog I didn't think was cute. But, dogs are more than just a cute face and a unique personality, there is a lot of time and energy that goes into caring for a dog. I have cared for and owned dogs my entire life and I am very passionate about my love for animals. I just started working as a vet assistant and before that I worked at a dog boarding/daycare facility for 7 years. I’ve also volunteered at different animal shelters, cared for special needs pups that have medications/shots during mealtimes, and even earned a certification in pet training. Through my years working with dogs, I've become an expert in dog body language and behavior and I know what goes into making a pup feel safe and loved. Your dog is your family, so I'll make sure I treat them like they are my family too!
