Calm & experienced dog lover

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs and many other animals, and in my adult life I've had numerous dogs of my own. I have a quiet and calm presence that makes most dogs my friends instantly! My friends even call me a dog whisper. I've been walking dogs for 20+ years and I'm great with all sizes, even the big dogs. I have lots of experience giving pills, even to the trickiest pill takers! My own 2 dogs are both special needs dogs, requiring medication multiple times per day. I've learned to adapt my life to support their needs. I also love volunteering at Sequoia Humane Society and help them save lots of dogs and cats! My availability is pretty open, because I work part-time and I have a flexible schedule.

Samantha was really nice and helpful with my dog Bea, even giving me tips about how to get her to stop pulling on the leash. I recommend her and will definitely contact her again.

I always feel comfortable leaving my pets in Samantha's care. She's kind, responsive, and takes great care of our home, too!

Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs! I do find it helpful to know about a dog's temperament so that I can be certain to meet the needs of the dog. If the dog doesn't like other dogs then I will take walks where we won't run into other dogs. If the dog loves other dogs then I would probably take them to a dog park.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and their toys. Walks will usually be at the beach, the community forests, or maybe the dog park. It all depends on the dog and their needs!
