Working to see your dog smile
Pet care experience
I am flexible with my time and scheduling and locations. I understand your dog is your baby. I`m a quick learner and I would love to hear about all of your dog's likes, dislikes, and special needs to which I can accommodate to. I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs, from 8 weeks old to 15 years old. From pure breed dogs to mixed up rescue pups, lazy cuddle bugs to active sporty dogs. Young nd active to old, half-blind slow moving dogs. I've always had a special interest in dogs and have encyclopedias on hand to learn about your dog's breed before I take care of them although no one knows your dog better then you so please tell me everything! I can update you as I take care of your adorable lovable pup! I am also familiar with pet sitting chickens and roosters as well.
Reviews
I whole heartedly recommend Samantha as a Rover dog sitter. She gives exceptional care to our dog, Bear (a white German Sheppard), when we need care for him. She has a great rapport with animals and Bear responded to her immediately. Samantha is wonderfully loving and patient with him. He is a high energy and attention demanding dog, but Samantha is attuned to his needs and responds accordingly. Additionally, she follows and enforces the training and care rules we have in place for Bear and always gives us a full report of his activities and care . Samantha is a dependable and pleasant person who will no doubt be diligent in her duties and treat the pets as her own. I have no hesitation in recommending Samantha highly as a caregiver for pets.
Samantha is my go to dog sitter for a few years now and always exceeded my expectations. She’s been a huge animal lover since I can remember. Ive has the pleasure of knowing her personally before leaving my fur babies in her care, which made using her as a dog sitter a no brainer. She is truly wonderful with them and provides daily updates with pictures of how my dogs are doing, as well as responding in a very quick manner to any questions I throw her way. One of my dogs, Reggie, is on the older side and Samantha has always accommodated all requests for his medications and extra attention. She makes sure they get in their exercise (as my younger dog is very hyper) so they get plenty of play time in. My mind is at ease while I’m away on personal or business trips when in the care of Samantha. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure their well being. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a dog sitter that puts your worries at rest and takes care of your animals as if they were her own. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!!
Samantha is an absolute loving and kind caregiver to all our animal family members. She has taken care of all my pups and chickens while on vacation and during my hectic work weeks. My puppy is always excited to see her as she provides excellent care; her love for animals is easily noticeable as their love for her. I highly suggest Samantha for all those in need of help in providing the best care for fur and feathered family members.
Samantha is my niece so I have know her forever. She is an animal person, primarily a dog person. She will give every dog she see's attention, treats them like people :) This would be a perfect job for her, she loves dogs and would put their every interest ahead of her own. I'm sure she would treat every dog with top notch care. She has 2 dogs a home, and yes they are spoiled. I think she would be very responsible with respect to others dogs and property.
