Pet-Lover with a Flexible Schedule!

I'm obsessed with animals of all kinds! I'm grateful to have grown up with 2 dogs and 1 cat for most of my life, plus I've had personal experience raising my own incredible dog for the last 9 years. I've been a go-to pet sitter for many friends and have also fostered different animals from time to time (dogs and cats), so I'm extremely confident in my ability to take care of your pet and love them as if they were my own! I'm patient, have a high attention to detail and love going on walks around the neighborhood. Because I have a dog with specific needs, I promise to cater to any of your requests to ensure your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I'm also big about taking photos and will be sure to send you them each and every time I help out! :)

House Sitting • Mar 27, 2023

Sam was amazing! She understood the particular needs of our dog, who is a rescue with a difficult history, and took the best care of Fiona. Sam was trustworthy and communicative and was especially kind because this was the first time we'd left our dog with a sitter. We couldn't have found a better one than Sam! We enthusiastically recommend her.

Sam did a wonderful job watching my dog Ajax. She was very flexible with my schedule and sent me lots of photos while I was away for the weekend. I’d highly recommend her to any of my friends and will definitely use her in the future!

Sam is someone that is incredibly responsible and loves being around animals. She is a great owner to Trout, her rescue that required a significant amount of attention and training to help deal with past trauma and she is a diligent and committed owner who has helped Trout become a great pet. Additionally, Sam is the first person to go up to dogs that she sees in public and seems to have a way to make them very comfortable in all different situations.

Schedule

I currently run my own online business from home, so my schedule is super flexible and I can work from anywhere with WIFI :) I'm truly available whenever, wherever you need me and would be happy to host your dog at my house or stay at yours! I can also stop by for walks anytime of day, so feel free to ask! Note that I'm a homebody so my weekends are super chill and I'm rarely out of the house for more than a couple of hours to run an errand, etc. Normally, I'm highly sensitive to how long I leave my own dog alone and would make sure that I am the same way with your pet!

Pets

I understand the importance of stimulating a dog and keeping them occupied! I'm happy to entertain via playtime at home and of course, long walks. Also happy to take them to a dog park or a small hike (if allowed) to help get out their energy even faster :)
