Home full-time and dog obsessed!

Pet care experience

I'm new to Rover, but I have tons of experience working professionally with dogs. I have worked as a dog groomer, walker, and at a doggy daycare facility, including staying overnight with over 20 dogs at once. I have owned dogs of all ages, including a very senior Yorkie who recently passed away. I also raised my own dog, Darwin, from puppy-hood, so I am very knowledgeable about puppy behaviors and their timeline for growing up. Darwin loves playing and interacting with puppies and young dogs; he always knows who the puppy is at dog parks. I recently graduated the University of Washington with a B.S. in Biology, where I focused my studies on animal behavior. I am currently learning to program computers, and as such am home full-time. When I watch your dog, I will always be close enough to supervise play between your dog and mine as safety is of utmost importance when dealing with dogs. I take plenty of breaks to have fun with the pups; between outside adventures and cuddle time, your dog will not be bored with me.

Sami was terrific. It was easy to plan a schedule with her, and each day she reliably stuck to it. She offered great notes and sweet photos of our pet. I would highly recommend Sami (at the risk of filling her schedule rendering her unavailable the next time I need her help). :-)

We had to board our dog for 9 days which made me very nervous! We usually travel with him but couldn't for this trip. I found Sami and instantly trusted her with my dog the moment I met her at our meet'n'greet! She did a great job of introducing my dog to her dog and their home. I could tell my dog was happy. Her dog is great, too, and a great playmate for my dog. Sami was great at communicating, sending me photos and promptly replying to my texts. She even took the dogs to dog parks most days! When I picked up my dog, he was relaxed and happy. I think he misses Darwin! Sami is now my first choice and I recommend her without hesitation.

My pup has found new best friends in Sami and Darwin! Sami shows genuine interest in her Rover dogs and is a great communicator. She shared the sweetest pic and anecdote from the day and I have the sense that my dog had fun playing with Darwin, but more importantly, was in capable hands with Sami. We'll be seeing her regularly, yay!

Information Sami S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your dogs personality, like are they active or couch potatoes, do they like to cuddle, where do they usually sleep, etc. I would also like to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs because I have a 1 year old schnauzer. I want your dog to be as comfortable as possible when staying with me because I know being away from home can be a stressful experience for many dogs, so please bring their bed or crate if they have one so they can have a "home base" of their own in my house.

A typical day

Although I don't have a fenced yard, my pup and I love to go on daily trips to the dog park at Magnuson or Woodland park! If your dog would prefer leashed walks, I live very close to Ravenna park, a huge area with trails perfect for sniffing around and exploring. We can also explore Greenlake or Gasworks park, or take a nice stroll around the neighborhood.
