Love dogs & cats!
Pet care experience
I love cats and dogs and will always stop to say hi to a pup on a walk or at the park (well, pre-COVID). My current roommate has a very sweet dog who is 14 months old and about 55 pounds. I frequently take her in walks and watch her when my roommate goes out for several hours. I’ve also cared for my parents 6 year old cockapoo multiple times, usually for a weekend but sometimes up to 2 weeks at a time. I also have taken care of pets - cats and dogs - during my nannying and babysitting days when I was a student, and frequently cat sit for friends when they are away. I used to live with two adorable cats, which has made me go from a dog-person to an all-pet person! Though they were my roommate’s pets, I love them as my own and frequently care for them when she is out of town. I’m available to provide drop in visits and dog walks before and after work hours, and can pet-sit on weekends! 24+hr notice is preferred though sometimes I am available for same day bookings.
Reviews
Great! Sam checked-in on my cat while I was out of town. Came home to a happy cat. Easy communication. Thanks!
Sam is the model pet sitter! Not only is she very attentive to detail and communicative, but she also just truly loves our furry friends. She’s very reliable and I always feel so secure knowing my elderly kitty is in her care. Sam is experienced watching and caring for cats from kittens to older cats and is also experienced with dogs of all ages.
Sam is my daughter, so you may think I am biased, but as a pet owner I would not recommend her if I didn’t think she was up to the task. Sam is a very mature, responsible, and reliable young woman. But more importantly, she loves animals. We have a 5 year old cockapoo who adores her. She has taken care of her when we have travelled on several occasions. She is very attentive to the basics, walking her, feeding her, picking up her poop and disposing of it properly. She also loves to play and cuddle with her. When Sam visits, our dog is usually glued to Sam’s side for the entire visit, and of course sleeps with her as well. You will be very happy with Sam!
About Sam B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very caring and attentive, and try to make sure the pet is in sight at all times. Depending on the pet, I will play or pet or let it be. I don’t want to overstimulate or ignore.
Information Sam B. would like to know about your pet
Temperament and behavior very important. If your dog picks up something it shouldn’t, will they snap at me if I try to take it out of their mouth? Are they reactive to other dogs, humans, etc.? Do they lunge at birds, bikes, children, other dogs on walks?
A typical day
With dogs, I play fetch or tug with a rope/whatever toys they have. If there is a yard, I will also run around with the dog. I like to walk my roommates dog to the park or just walk around quiet streets in our neighborhood.
