Pet care experience
I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals.
Reviews
Samantha did a great job watching our dog Teddy over the weekend. He can be a reactive dog at first and it appears she was able to manage him and get him acclimated to her quickly. Samantha was also a great guest at our house during her stay here with Teddy
Second time using Samantha and she did not disappoint. Always very communicative and addressed any concerns with me. It’s always scary leaving your pet in someone else’s care, but I feel a sense of relief knowing she will be there to care for his needs.
Samantha was excellent with our dog. She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates and pics! We would love to have her come back to stay with Baisley!
Samantha was really communicative and super nice I could tell she was doing a good job. p

Safety, trust & environment
I have three years of experience with a dog walking company that had me safely entering and exiting people's homes to care for their dogs, I am dependable and conscientious of your security. At this time, I am not allowed pets in my own rental apartment but if that changes I would be open to daycare and boarding.
Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog/pet as any anxiety triggers or situations we should avoid on our walks, or things that you would like us to work on together!
A typical day
When taking your dog for a walk (within their and your comfort zone) I will be sure to take different routes so that your pet gets a new adventure every time we are together. My preference is to check out parks if there is one nearby!

Availability
I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible).
