Information Sammi J. would like to know about your pet

please let me know if your dog needs extra attention with anything. I am very patient and am always looking out for the best interest of your pet.

Your dogs second best friend

Pet care experience

All throughout school, I played two sports competitively so there wasn’t time for a job with regular hours, so to make money, I would bike around my small town, taking care of all types of animals and fell in love with it. I have 8 years of experience- in addition to that I have always had a dog at home to take care of and he’s always been my best friend. I am an animal lover at heart. I understand that every animal has unique needs and personality traits, and I take the time to get to know each pet on an individual level. In addition to my genuine love for animals, I possess a strong work ethic and a dedication to providing the highest level of care possible. I approach each task with a sense of responsibility and attentiveness, ensuring that every pet under my watch is given the attention and care they deserve. When someone leaves their pet with me, they can rest assured that their pet is in good hands with a dedicated and passionate caretaker who will treat them like my own. I am back on Rover! Book with me for all your pet needs :)
