Dog-Loving Pre-PT Student
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Samantha and I am a graduate student who enjoys working out and loves pets. I am looking to earn some extra cash to save up for expenses during physical therapy school while getting in my exercise and spending time with animals. I had to put down my beagle-basset mix around two years ago, so I really miss being around and taking care of a furry friend! I see Rover as a win-win situation--your dog gets the care and exercise they need while I do, too! I have experience taking care of small and medium-sized dogs. I can also walk large dogs, I just have not had the opportunity to. Feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you for reading!
Reviews
Sam is so amazing! Not only do I love her, but my dog does too! She is always prompt getting to my house and bringing my dog home. Sam also knows how to handle my pit bull (and she’s a pretty big dog!). It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about Izzy’s (my dog) safety when she’s with Sam.
About Samantha W.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While I don’t take care of pets in my current household, I will thoroughly complete what you need me to do for drop-ins in your own home. I prefer taking dogs for walks through neighborhoods with established sidewalks and typically will cross the street if I see any other dogs coming the direction if they aren't fond of others. I’m not super ecstatic of dog parks, just because I’m not the most knowledgeable person about how your dog reacts with other dogs—this is just a personal safety measure. I would never want anything happening to your best friend! I would take waste bags along with me for the walk, and will always have my phone and keys handy in case of an emergency.
Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer to know if the dog is friendly, how they are on a leash, and how they interact with other dogs and people. If you have anything that your prefer me to use (i.e., your own waste bags, a sweater on your dog, etc.), please let me know!
A typical day
If your dog loves retrieving things, I was a softball player so I'm your girl (even better yet--I played in the outfield)! If there are any special engaging activities you like for your dog to participate in, I can aid in that as well (i.e., treat puzzles).

I am finished with my internship by 11:00 AM each day. On Tuesdays I have class at 5:00 PM, and Wednesdays I have class until 4:00 PM. Fridays I have completely off, and can usually walk whenever unless I'm traveling.
