About Samantha

I am an animal lover at heart and have a lot of experience with many different kinds. I've owned/taken care of cats my whole life, ranging from the docile house kitty to outdoor cats that don't like to be cooped up. My family used to own both alpacas and pygmy goats which I have cared for on a daily basis (feeding, cleaning the pastures/pens and occasionally administering medication), and we also owned a pair of energetic Great Pyrenees who acted as our guard dogs. I have also cared for several Basset Hounds, whom I adored, and other smaller dog breeds. Throughout my childhood, I took riding lessons and in high school, I had my own horse for a while before going to college. He was a mustang, and was both wonderful and challenging. Additionally, I have cared for multiple rabbits at a time, as well as the occasional hamster, guinea pig, and bird. In terms of exotic animals, I have a little experience with snakes and not much else, but I am open to learning!
