Awesome Sitter
Pet care experience
I am very empathic to dogs' needs. I can handle distress if they feel anxious, territorial, or scared. I always give dogs my undivided attention. Over the years, I have adapted and understood dogs' needs and accommodated them on the spot. I absolutely adore dogs and cats. Unfortunately, I'm very allergic to cats. As long as I don't have to pet them, I'm fine. I can basically give them food and water if needed, otherwise, no touching.
Reviews
Samantha was terrific with our Rocky. She was very focused on Rocky and making sure he had the best care. He gets anxious around larger dogs and she handled that very well. I felt very comfortable leaving Rocky with Samantha in our home and she was great with communication and sending updates. I would definitely book Samantha again!
Samantha was a pleasure to have look after our dog Macy. She is knowledgeable about dogs and Macy loved her!! She was excellent at keeping communication open, and sent us photos and updates. Our house was well looked after too! Would definitely book Samantha again, and recommend her to others❤️
Nothing but great things to say about Samantha. I have a very high anxiety large breed senior dog and if you happen to be in the same boat you are aware of how difficult this makes comfortably booking a vacation. Well I can honestly say I had my first 10 days away stress free knowing Juno was in good hands . I came home to a stress free dog , a clean house and freshly baked cookies ! I couldn’t have wanted for more . I highly recommend contacting Samantha. I am already looking at planning another get away :)
Samantha was so great with our dog Grizz. I appreciated her communication with us and keeping us updated on how Grizz is doing, especially since he wasn’t feeling the best! Samantha kept our house clean and even made us delicious cookies upon our arrival!
About Samantha W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my biggest concern, whenever I walk the dog, I'm always aware of my surroundings. Whether I'm crossing the streets, entering in and out of an apartment building, I always have the best interests to keep the pet safe. Trust is also very important to me; the first meet and greet is always crucial as I want to demonstrate to owners that they can trust me with their pets. Also, gaining dogs trust is of importance to me. I want the pet to be comfortable with me and feel like I'm part of the pack.
Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet
What their likes, their training words (sit, down, etc.), dietary restrictions, what words to be mindful of, and any food allergies. I also like to know their favourite toys and who and what motivates them.
A typical day
If they have toys, I will play with them. I do not necessarily play rough with new dogs, and I like to get to know them better. I will try to teach them new tricks and play tug-o-war if they want to. Run around outside if they're going to play catch.

Availability
Just an FYI, I'm a full time medical office assistant, working majority of the time remotely. However I will be in the office Wednesdays and Thursdays in Richmond. In the months of December I'll be working remotely because the doctor will be away. While working remotely, I will do my best to give them the attention that they need. I'm always on the alert for dog's needs. I have a great sense when dogs need to go to the washroom or need attention.
