Availability

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.

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.

Information Samantha V. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

Walk? Run? (more like jogging for me), I enjoy it knowing your dog is getting the appropriate exercise. I also love setting up puzzles for both dogs and cats to ensure they get mental stimulation. Or hey, if they rather send the visit soley getting belly rubs, I'm here for it!

Our pets deserve the world!

Pet care experience

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.

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