Dog lover, cat admirer
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Sam, an entrepreneur, artist, animal lover, traveler, and mom to Benny, the sweetest nine-year-old ever. We love to explore new places, but we firmly believe that life is better with furry friends, so house-sitting has become a perfect fit for us! Sometimes we come as a house-sitting team and sometimes (while he is with his dad), I travel solo. I was raised with German Shepherds and Yorkies, so big or small, I love them all! We’ve recently rescued three feral kittens who’ve become the biggest love bugs and rule our family. Our last pup rescue, Ellie, was a mix who was equal parts love-bug and wild-child so I’m quite comfortable with dogs who need extra exercise to tire them out as well as older dogs that just want to snooze on the couch. We’ve watched numerous dogs, cats, both indoor friends and barn cats, as well as a horse. Plus we love caring for gardens, filling bird feeders, and tending to a home.
Reviews
Sam is A+++ … She is wonderful with our two small dogs; communicates well; and takes and sends wonderful dog pics. She also took great care of our home while we were gone, leaving it spic n span with clean sheets, etc. Sam is very friendly, helpful and conscientious, and her son is a sweet bonus offering even more gentle care and a second lap for our “lap dogs.” Thanks, Sam & B, for excellent, all-pro service and care!

Safety, trust & environment
Whether we are tending to horses on a farm or cat-sitting in a big city, we believe a home should be respected and cared for and animals should be treated as family. Our sweetheart Ridgeback mix, Ellie, passed away in 2021 and house-sitting has helped our hearts to heal as we have had the opportunity to care for such amazing fur babies as we travel. We can’t wait until we buy a home and can once again have a dog of our own, but until then, we are so thankful to be able to love on the pets we watch!

A typical day
I’m a big believer that the best activity a dog can do is walk and I’m a huge fan of neighborhood walks and nature hikes! I also love to play intellectual games with dogs who appreciate such activities. (Hide and seek with toys or treats, puzzle feeders, etc)

Availability
I work from home, running an online business, so my schedule is quite flexible. I love to walk dogs while my son is at school or take them for hikes with the kiddo on the weekends.
