Cats

16 to 40 lbs

Availability

I have a very flexible schedule; typically only working about 4-6 hours a day, two days a week, with weekends off! I also have an organizing business that takes some time but I try not to schedule pet sitting at the same time as organizing as long as it can be helped, unless you need some organization!

Safety, trust & environment

I am familiar with kennel training, thunder jackets, and you can feel assured knowing your pet will be loved on and treated as well as if you were home! For safety, I don’t walk dogs without a leash and I go outside with them when they use the restroom if you have a yard! When pets are staying with me, though I don’t have a yard, I make walks and potty breaks more exciting and I have a small dog park near my house so your baby will get plenty of exercise and come home tired! I can provide puzzle feeders, treat dispensing toys, and stimulating activities for your pup if they seem interested!

Information Sam D. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies, storm fears, medications, favorite toys or activity? How does your dog like to calm down at night? Any separation anxiety or history of acting out when you aren’t home?

A typical day

I like to tailor my sitting for the dogs! If your dog loves to be a couch potato, we’ll do that, if he likes to walk, then we will go on a walk and hang out and they’ll get lots of loves and pets! I like to stick to their routine but also add new things that they don’t always get to do as long as you okay it!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Sam, I’m 29, and I live in Avon! I have always had pets: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, birds, and reptiles! I am very comfortable with pets of any kind, big or small. I have experience with young pets, older pets, and anything in between. I have been professionally pet sitting since I was 18 with plenty of experience before too! I’m a marketer for work but with a passion in caring for animals.

I struggle to leave my girls with others but Sam was so good with them. She sent me daily updates to let me know they were getting quality care while I was away. She stayed at my house which made the transition for my dogs so much easier. I would definitely use her again.

Sam was amazing watching our little one for a week. She took great care of her and our house. Sent us several fun pictures and updates. I knew from day one that it was a great fit. We will definitely contact Sam for future stays. Thank you so much!!!
