Sam here, to tire your pooch out!!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Sam, a fourth-year medical student with a passion for dogs. Although I would absolutely love to have a dog of my own, I recognize that I am unable to provide a pup with the attention they so rightly deserve during this unpredictable time in my life. Having grown up around dogs, I understand how much they can mean to a family, providing endless devotion and joy. Every dog is unique and has their own preferences and personalities, so I promise to be adaptable to whatever your pet needs to make them feel happy and comfortable. What's more, I will care for your pet as if they were my own four-pawed companion, giving them all the attention and love they need. My schedule varies monthly, and even slightly every day, due to having a new rotation every couple weeks. Unfortunately, Rover doesn't allow me to reflect this in my availability. If you are hoping to arrange something in the distant future, I may not yet be able to confirm my availability. However, please don't hesitate to contact me and perhaps we can work something out. I would be honored to help you and your furry family. :)

Sam was amazing! She was very quick to respond and thorough. She gave me detailed updates about my dog and pictures. Would absolutely book Sam for drop-ins again!

Sam did an amazing job with Bluey! She sent many pictures through out her say and Bluey was very comfortable in her presence! I will definitely be jawing Sam again when needing someone to watch Bluey!

Sam was able to watch my 18 month standard poodle and bernedoodle puppy last minute because we had to have them out of the house for showings as we sell our house. She was so quick to communicate, sent us great pics, and my boys were comfortable with her! It’s hard to pick someone you don’t know to trust with your pet(s), but Sam is a really good option and we will use her again!

Sam did an amazing job with my two senior dogs. I was out of the state for 7 days and she made sure they had plenty of time to walk, play, and cuddle. She's extremely thorough, communicative, dedicated, and caring. Five-star rating from me!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer pet-sitting services both in my own home and in the owner's home. The location ultimately depends on my relationship with the owner and whether or not my boyfriend is comfortable with us having a dog for a while. Luckily, he usually is :) but since it's his place too, I need to make sure he's on board with each request as well.

Information Sam A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific behaviors (such as not getting along with other dogs, getting into the trash, or pulling on the leash) so I can be prepared ahead of time!

A typical day

As I mentioned, I love going on long walks and discovering nearby parks and trails. And if the owner approves, I may occasionally take dogs to pet-friendly coffee shops while I study or to breweries to socialize with friends and other dogs.

I absolutely adore taking long walks along the bike paths by my house during my study breaks. Running is also a great stress reliever for me. So if you're looking for someone to tire your pup out, I'm your go-to person! I usually have to study at home during the afternoons when get back from work. But hey, it's always better with a furry friend snuggled up next to me on the couch :)
