All about dogs and dog rescue!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover and advocator for as long as I can remember. I do know CPR and First Aid for dogs, puppies, and cats (I included a picture of my certification). I also love taking pictures so rest assured I will gladly send you picture updates throughout! I currently work full time as a Pharmacy Technician but plan to go back to school soon for accounting. My hobbies include agility training and competitions, and fostering for our local animal shelter to help move dogs in need to rescues up north. I am married, we have a total of 6 dogs of our own (5 are mine 1 is my husband's), all rescues. I am starting Rover just to make a little extra money doing what I love most, spending time with dogs! I have considered trying to make a business out of dog boarding/doggy daycare/walks, but I am undecided. My plan is to have fun doing what I love and just see where it takes me! Availability: Monday - Friday 5pm-9pm Saturday - Sunday Walks: 8am - 8pm Drop in visits: 8am - 10pm Offers: Save by booking in advance! Discount is off total.

I have known Sam for several years and one thing that has been obvious from the start is her love for animals. Sam is so kind, caring and genuinely loves animals. Sam has an impeccable work ethic and is truly a treasured find. I trust her completely with our fur babies and confidently recommend her services to others! Let her help you with your furry family members, you will be glad you did!

Information Samatha W. would like to know about your pet

I am totally against breed discrimination. I will accept dogs of any breed or age, my only true preferences revolve around vaccinations. However, if you are interested in my services but feel limited by the vaccine requirements, please message me and I would love to try to help you get your pet the proper vaccinations! *WALKS: -With adult dogs I am more flexible for just walks, but I won't take them to the dog park or other high dog traffic areas like that if they are not up to date on vaccinations. -For puppies or dogs under 1 year old, I will require they have been seen by a vet and have started vaccines, because I will not risk exposing your puppy to Parvo or Coccidia or the chances of spreading it if your pup may have it (it is very common for a puppy to have coccidia and not show any symptoms for a while). I am very safety conscious and can not be more flexible than that when it comes to puppies. *DROP IN VISITS: -Because they will be in your own home (not risking exposer), I will not require proof of vaccinations for this service. *BOARDING/DAYCARE: (I am not currently offering these services) -For dog boarding or daycare I will require up to date vaccines even if they don't have direct contact with mine or any other dogs. *OTHER INFO -I will ask if your dog is spayed/neutered. I don't require that they are, I just need to be aware especially if you would like me to take them to the dog park etc. -Age is also important for me to know, because a young dog may not be old enough to be fully covered by vaccines and an older dog may not enjoy extensive walks or play time. I just want to accommodate each individual dog appropriately.

A typical day

Most importantly our activities will vary depending on if your dog is up to date on their vaccines. Every dog is different, so I will get a feel of what they are comfortable with and enjoy. With owners consent, I am happy to take them to the dog park if they are comfortable with other dogs, or just walk the nature trails for fun and of course the great photo opportunities! Drop in visits: - Dogs/puppies: I will come by, let your dog/puppy out to potty and enjoy some play time (Outdoor playtime will be on your property and on leash if you don't have a fenced yard). If needed, I will refill their water bowl, feed them, and give any oral/topical medications they need. If you would like to schedule a walk for the same day, I can go ahead and take care of that for you as well! (Please see vaccination requirements for walks) You just let me know what your furry friend needs! Side note, I by no means claim to be a dog trainer, but I do enjoy trying to teach dogs new tricks so feel free to let me know if you would like me to work with your dog(s) on the basics (sit, down, shake, roll over). I won't charge you anything extra, however it would be ideal to book a 60 minute drop in session to allow ample time. Again, I am not a professional trainer and do not guarantee results, just know that this is something I can offer! - Cats: For your feline friend, all the basics: food/water/oral or topical medications. I can also tidy up their litter box and break out their favorite toy. Just let me know what you need :)
