Furry Companions New Best Friend

I am a college student who loves all animals! I am studying biology with the end goal of becoming a veterinarian. I work as a dog groomer and have previous experience working at a vets office. I like to visit the dogs I watch two to three times a day at the owners home as keeping them in an environment they are familiar reduces stress I have found. I also walk them in the mornings and evenings and love to play with them. I personally don't have a dog as I am a college student so when I get to take care of other peoples animals I treat them as if they were my own ❤️ I have a guinea pig named Gracie whom my friends say is the most spoiled guinea pig in the world :) and I am also an avid fish owner currently I have a South American Flowerhorn Cichlid named Oscar The Grouch, Four African Cichlids, a Blood Parrot and a Jack Dempsey. I have 16 year experience pet sitting and babysitting and feel comfortable watching a variety of animals . Why I love dog sitting All my life I have loved all sorts of animals including dogs. I personally don't own a dog as I'm a college student and don't feel it would be fair to them at this time, so I just love on everyone else's. I have alot of animal experience from working at a vets office to being a dog groomer.

Samara was/is the best house/dog sitter we could have ever asked for. Not only did she take the time to follow verbal and written instructions, she also took the time to visit 2 different times before we left on vacation to get to know the dogs and learn what was needed to be successful. She was caring and kind and the dogs loved her. She was proactive to their needs and they got the best care they possibly could have. Both of our dogs have special needs d/t their health and age and Samara demonstrated a very high level of competence and compassion in meeting those needs. It was wonderful to be able to leave on vacation and be comfortable in the knowledge that our pets were cared for by such a competent and caring person.

Samara is a bright, attentive and caring young women. Shelby was comfortable with her almost right away which is unusual with someone he doesn't know. Samara kept us informed and sent pictures throughout the stay. We would definitely book her again. Thanks Samara!
