Pet care experience
My family has had a dog since I was born. Between the ages of 12 and 19 I lived in a house with 6 total dogs. I’ve been helping at a vet clinic since I was 16 and have learned a lot about dogs and their body language. I currently work at a daycare facility in both grooming and daycare/kennel. I have three of my own dogs in my apartment with me and regularly watch my family’s dogs. I work full time at the moment but I am able to fit in walks or drop-ins before or after work. I can also do house sitting almost any night of the week In your home, I will abide by your rules with your dog. If you have a fenced in yard, I will supervise while your dog is out there to ensure they are safe. On walks, I won’t let your dog off leash and will work on walking manners if requested
Reviews
Samara is a wonderful pet sitter. She was patient and gentle with my nervous birds and they responded with eventual trust. She coordinated well with another sitter for part of our trip and everything happened as scheduled. I'm very grateful to her for taking such good care of my pets.
Trice loved the visits and was very happy. Highly reccommend!
Sam is the best! Our pups are already well taken care of and she is so good with behaviors (our golden has finally stopped jumping!).
Samara was amazing and our fur babies loved her! She was reliable and very responsive. I would recommend her to anyone with big dogs and senior dogs.

Information Samara S. would like to know about your pet
I need to their medications that will need administered while being watched, the primary vet in case of emergency, any medical history/diagnoses that could affect them while in my care, fears, reactions to other dogs and strangers, and feeding schedules
A typical day
I have lots of different enrichment activities that I already do with my own dogs, including puzzle toys, flirt pole, makeshift agility, and much more. I enjoy walking dogs on the ISU cross country course when it is open. Otherwise, I find the trails at Ada Hayden to be very enjoyable for the dogs as they can do a lot of sniffing!
