Samantha K. Pet Care Provider in San Manuel, AZ 85631

I definitely care for all dogs. I know how to handle small to extra large dogs and have experience with nervous or aggressive animals. I work in a professional grooming salon as a bather. Due to working in a grooming salon, I know how to properly bathe and clips the nails of dogs and cats, and can do so at request.

I have also trained my own abused dog from a shelter from the age of one. Even though cats are notoriously difficult to train, my cat now knows how to sit, stay, and come, as well as walk on a leash. I am surrounded by dogs everyday and can’t get enough of them. I am only 20 years old, but have had dogs and cats since seven. I watched the neighborhood dogs as well as dog and cat sat for family members. Even though I work with dogs, I strive to know how to treat and train all animals outside of a profesional environment. I live with three dogs (two chihuahuas and a German Shepherd) who have their own “bedrooms” in which they can be put into if there is any trouble with others dogs. There is also a spare bedroom in the house that can be your dogs private bedroom for sleep time, eating, or private play.

I live in a suburban neighborhood with a grass park and a fenced backyard. Walking dogs around the block is simple and I have doggie shoes for the summers. I love fetch and tug-of-war and have a dog park nearby where dogs can play.

If owners are comfortable, I would love to hike the nearby trails at Catalina state park with their furry family members. The park offers short, low experience trails, or longer trails for those energetic dogs. I always take extra water and treats with me when hiking with anyone’s animal. I even have doggie shoes for those hot summer months.

I do not have any breed preference because I do not believe that dogs of one breed are the same. (Not all pit bulls are aggressive and not all chihuahuas are gentle).

Before taking in a dog, I would like to know any schedules the dog is set on. These schedules include food and medicine or play time and sleep. I would also prefer knowing diet restrictions (no people food or treats) and basic eating habits. It would be helpful to be informed of any behavioral or medical issues before being alone with a dog.

I am a responsible, reliable animal lover who wants to enrich the lives of animals who need a little more care than they can receive alone at home.
