Dog Walking West Samoset

About: I’ve previously worked as an assistant dog trainer in all levels of the AKC Canine Good Citizen program, handling both puppies and reactive dogs. I also trained a dog to pass the Assistance Dogs International public access service exam and have volunteered at animal shelters. I’ve always loved animals and am now pursuing an animal science degree to turn that passion into my career! I am available the majority of weekdays (8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.), Saturday afternoon/evening (4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.), and most of Sunday (8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) Safety and trust are my top priorities with every visit. I use calm, confident handling and positive reinforcement to make each booking safe and enjoyable. I’m more than happy to bring treats to reward good manners and positive behavior! I pay close attention to body language and surroundings, keeping walks low-stress so every dog feels secure, enriched, and understood.

About: I volunteered at the Humane Society and have experience caring for animals in my own home. I have also helped lost and stray animals by reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving new homes. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Its a blessing to have a soft heart for animals since a little girl My availability is very open & flexible as i am currently doing online school studying Int Arch with a passion to love and provide a safe space for all pets. I am part of the worship team therefore unavailable on, Sunday 9AM-3PM, Tuesday & Thursdays 7-11PM. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual needs and routine. My priority is making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I will keep your pet fed, provide fresh water, offer plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any special instructions you provide. I have two dogs with opposite personalities, so chances are your pup will find a friend they feel comfortable around! Introductions would always be done carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe- i also have an extra room available if any pet needs their own quiet space or a slow introduction. My cats are independent and enjoy sunbathing outside. Throughout the day, they come inside to eat, sleep, and play. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, your pet's comfort and safety will always come first.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. I started showing animals at my county fair when I was 9 years old. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life until I moved to Florida this year to live with and help take care of my grandpa. It would be a blessing to find some new animal friends to love on! I am currently working full time the the Lido Beach Resort as the Front Office Supervisor. My schedule is 3 PM to 11 PM so my mornings are free. If needed, I am also more than happy to swing by after my shift to walk/check on pets. I am unable to board pets at my house at this time, but I do not take going into other homes lightly. It is an honor that I treat with the utmost respect.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 8. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have owned a French bulldog. I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 9.00 am. I have 2 wonderful children, 5y 7y. They love dogs and cats very much, we have always had a pet in our family. My family will do everything to make your pet feel like at home. He will be loved and cared for.

About: Behavioral Enrichment: I don’t just care for pets; I engage them mentally and physically. I use enrichment activities, like puzzle feeders, training games, and stimulating walks, to keep them entertained and healthy. Flexible & Attuned to Your Pet's Needs: Every pet is unique, and I’m adaptable to each one’s temperament. Whether they’re a high-energy puppy, a senior with arthritis, or a shy rescue, I adjust my care approach accordingly. Experience Across All Ages & Breeds: From tiny kittens to elderly dogs, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and breeds, which means I’m well-versed in the special needs each group requires. Continuous Learning: I stay updated with new pet care techniques and resources to provide the best possible care. Morning Routine: I start my day by making sure the pets are fed, and I take them out for their morning walk or potty break. If it’s a training session day, I incorporate a short, focused training routine right after the walk. If I’m caring for a senior pet or one with specific health needs, I prioritize administering any morning medications or treatments. Midday Care: For part-time care, this is when I might stop by for a midday visit if the pet parent is at work or out for the day. I check in on the pet, ensure they’re comfortable, take them outside for a bathroom break, and offer some playtime or light exercise. This can also include mental stimulation activities like interactive toys or a training session. Afternoon Routine: Depending on the pet’s needs, I might provide a mid-afternoon walk or some calm cuddle time. I also keep a close eye on how the pet’s feeling—especially for senior pets who might tire easily—and adjust the activities accordingly. If I’m looking after a puppy or an active breed, I make sure they get a good burst of energy out before the evening. I would apply the same routines and take them for a walk. I'm in charge of the dog's food and I could give him a bath if he needs it.
