Physical Therapist who loves dogs!

Pet care experience

I have always been an animal lover, and I would love to care for your dog or cat as I would for my own! I would love for my free time to be filled with walks, fetch, and playtime with your furry friend! I am extremely responsible, and am excellent with time management. I lead a very active lifestyle, frequently going on runs and walks and would love to get your dog out of the house for a stroll or adventure! I am flexible, professional and relaxed, and I appreciate dogs of all personalities. I would love to spend some time with your pup during the day to keep them company and give them some love! Looking forward to meeting your fur baby and caring for them as if they were my own!

The refusal to simply change a 60 watt light bulb in a easy reach lamp left my 2 cats in a dim lit dark apartment for 4 days despite my pleading for her help. When I became upset because she called changing a lightbulb an “installation” she then accused me of being difficult. To save face I had to act as if I was sorry. I was honestly was furious as I watched my animals receive no affection and be left in a dark apartment with little care of how it was affecting them. Upon arriving home my one cat was sick with a UTI issue. I had to rush him to AMC where they said he was most likely very stressed. Of course he was, he was in a dim lit apartment with a person coming in for a very short time barely giving him attention. (my cats are very affectionate). For $50 for 30 minutes I find it absurd that when something came up that was simple to address she refused to help and became irate with me, almost trying to bully me for speaking up for my animals she was supposed to be caring for. I will never use an app service again to care for my animals. If you want the basics with no attention and a flash photo taken directly in their eyes/face (because the apartment was so dark she held the camera in their face with flash on until I asked her to stop doing that) then she would be fine. I would not recommend, given when a real issue came up she refused to help in any way and became accusatory, along with the fact that in my video cam she barely held or gave any affection to my two animals. I know my Scottish Fold became sick because of this. As of now we have to go back to the vet again tomorrow, which I am sure will be another $300-500. Really awful experience.

Samara was incredible, she treated our pup like he was her own and was so communicative. She sent pictures and updates the whole time and he really looked like a happy pooch in her care. Highly recommend Samara!!!
