About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.

When I returned, my pets were calm, happy, and healthy – a clear sign of the excellent care they all received. I would absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I always grew up around pets and animals. Since I was 13, my family had 6 rescue dogs at once! I was responsible for feeding, walking, training, and playing with our pups when I was home, and it brought me a lot of joy. My roommates, family, friends, and neighbors have also entrusted me with their furry friends, and it has always been a great pleasure to care for them. I have immense love for all animals and would love to give your dog an adventurous walk they'll never forget! I am a recent MSU graduate, with nothing but an open schedule. I thought the best way to fill it was to get some exercise with a K9 pal! I strive to be an outstanding guest in your home, while also being a responsible, mindful, and engaging pet sitter! I am excellent at instruction if you have any intricate, specific requests. I am not yet taking pets into my home, but I am definitely open to it once I've had repeated visits with a pet.
About: We have a home where I have cared for and given a loving family to dogs and cats for years. We believe in a safe and playful environment for all animals upbringing. I only work part time and also work from home so I am able to pretty much dedicate all my attention to the animals when they need it. I have a fenced yard in my home where I can keep the pups stimulated with play time occasionally. If I have other dogs I'll make sure they get along but if need be separated. I mostly wfh and am trying to accommodate busy people by making last minute bookings so I'm pretty much available whenever it is convenient for you. In my home, I make sure to provide plenty of love and attention to all pets in my care. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, providing access to fresh water, and giving them opportunities for exercise and play. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and comfortable for them. When providing services like house visits or house sitting, I follow the same routine as in my own home and also follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet's owner. If the pet is staying with me for an extended period of time, like during a boarding service, I also make sure to take them on regular walks and provide them with mental stimulation through activities. As mentioned, I have a fenced yard and able to put them on a playpen for their safety and comfort if necessary.
