Pet care experience

Our pets deserve the world!

It is because our pets deserve so much, I would love to assist in making that happen! I have always had pets growing up, a cat, reptiles, and now a total of 5 dogs (Medium - Large Mutts). This has become my life. I have cared for several families' dogs. Those include: English Bulldog (puppy), Samoyed, Wolf-Hybrid (puppy) and now so much more. I've worked at two doggie daycares in the past that contains several breeds and mixes, ranging from Extra Small to Extra (Extra) Large. Now I work super part-time at a church and still desire to work with animals on a daily basis so I would like to feed my soul outside of work doing just that! I have a specialty handling reactive dogs (I've had routine dogs who were reactive with people and the other towards dogs) since my first dog living on my own is one. I've learned all the ways to better handle this quirk to give them the best possible outcome when comes faces with their trigger so they can have a more enjoyable walk.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer following instructions left by the owner so the animal can stay on routine as much as possible while I'm looking after them, that'd be for both daily (Mon-Fri) walks or drop-ins. They tend to be much more comfortable this way! And I always give the pet space so if they want pets the entire visit, they got it! If they seem content after just getting a little bit of affection, I won't stalk them around to keep giving them more love.

Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.

Samantha was super responsive and even set up a meeting prior to starting to get to know our cat and house. She also sent daily pictures and updates. We felt like our cat was in good hands with Samantha.

Samantha did a great job with our two cats. She was very attentive and communicative, and her photos were especially nice.

Schedule

Very grateful to say that since I work super part time a church, I have time in the mornings and the mid afternoon to look after pets (as long as I'm not already booked for your desired time) and I often have time over the weekends to see your pets several times a day to ensure they're doing well while you're out of town.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Samantha can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
How are they with new people? Are they on medication? What can I do to make them more comfortable with their owner is not around?
