SD Dogsitting: Best Job Ever.
Pet care experience
Hi there! I have had dogs since I was 5 years old, with up to 3 at a time in my family home. I am a foster mama for a local rescue as well as an adoption coordinator and volunteer with that rescue and their incoming dogs off of the street. I've lived with roomates' and partners' dogs for years, and have several years of experience with puppy antics, potty patience, walks and runs and hikes, and medical care. I enjoy being active with dogs and also relaxing and cuddling, and I've cared for dogs who require both. I'm familiar with all kinds of leashes and collars, as well as crate training, bathing, cleaning ears, skin treatments, and more. I am used to administering medicines and injections and am familiar with common dog afflictions. When staying in clients' homes, it's very important to me to be very mindful of their property and to leave everything as I found it or even cleaner. I'm a bit of a neat freak despite my love for animals who slobber, shed, and swim in the ocean! Pets are our best friends and companions, and I know first-hand how attached they are to you -- which is why I care about them being happy and healthy while you're at work or out of town. To be honest, this job is so special to me and I appreciate you letting me love your dogs and cats! I'd love to meet you and your pets and chat about your needs!
Reviews
Sammy was absolutely wonderful - highly recommend booking with her! From the date of booking, she was extremely communicative and accommodating. We weren’t able to find a time that worked for an in-person meet and greet, so she offered to host a virtual meet up instead. She kept us updated while we were gone, and we came back to a super tidy house and happy pets! Thanks again Sammy!
Sammy was amazing! Took great care of my pup and kept us updated throughout the stay!
Sammy is a rockstar! She made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy for the first time for a weekend. She was very communicative the whole time and sent us updates. Our dog Gemma enjoys Sammy and she took great care of our house while away. She’s great!!
Sammy was extremely responsive and trustworthy. Our dog quickly acclimated to her and enjoyed her company while we were away. We weee able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Sammy for any house/dog sitting needs.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a very communicative person and most importantly, want to take care of your pets the way that you do. I am especially mindful of keeping your home safe and clean while I'm staying in it as well.
Information Sammy B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has special needs, medications, certain habits, etc. IE: do they howl when left alone, do they need to go out every 2 hours, do they have any fear triggers, etc.
A typical day
I like to take dogs with me on adventures, if they are okay with it! Depending on how good they are with other people, other dogs, kids, off-leash, etc, there is no limit to the fun your dog and I will have together. We can go to dog parks, the beach, hiking, on car rides, or on playdates with friends' dogs. Of course depending on how much availability I have during my stay and whether you and your dog are okay with it, I will always prefer to treat your dog like my best friend.

Availability
I generally work from home, so I can spend most of my time with your pets and take care of their needs / stick to their usual routine! If I have any prior commitments when I'm staying in your home, let's chat to make sure that your pets are taken care of!
