Loving & responsible animal lover!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Samantha! I have loved animals all my life, and have a passion for caring for their health and well-being! I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for about 10 years and currently own a very sweet 6-year-old Lab/Terrier mix named Arlie, and a playful 2-year-old orange tabby cat named Gingersnap. I am available most weeknights and weekends for various services. I am open to working with any kind of dog/cat and bringing Arlie along if I can on walks/house visits! I am willing and able to travel 30 miles outside of Forest Lake if necessary and look forward to meeting you!
Reviews
Samantha did a great job taking care of our chickens. I felt very comfortable having her in our home while we were away. She is very responsible, respectful, dependable, trustworthy and thorough. I can’t wait for our next trip because I know that I won’t have to worry when Sami is there!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in the bottom level of a duplex with a lot of room for pups/kitties to play! Our yard is unfenced, but I do have several tie outs. I have personally used Rover for various services for my dog who experiences anxiety, so I know how hard it can be to leave your pet! I know how much I appreciate updates from the Rovers I have used, so I too will be sure to send you as many updates as you want to reassure you of your pet's safety and happiness!
Home
Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any special health accommodations and some insight on their personality as well! Having owned and cared for different dogs and cats, I realize they each have their own unique personalities, and knowing more about them will allow me to care for your pet in the best way possible! If your pet does not do well with other dogs and/or cats, I would appreciate knowing this as well so we can come up with an appropriate care plan! Note on Boarding: If your pet will be boarding in my home more than 2 days, I will request a meet and greet in my home if possible to see how your dog and my cat get along. I wouldn't want to keep my cat locked away in a room for too long while your pup is staying with me in the event that they don't get along!
A typical day
Depending on the dog's personality and energy-level, your dog will enjoy walks around my neighborhood, cuddles on the couch watching movies or watching me grade papers, or even taking a swim at the local beach! :) I am also open to bringing your dog on outings, such as to local parks, going on hikes, or maybe even going to some dog-friendly breweries! I will ensure I will be home during the entire duration of your pet's stay.
