My Best Pals Have Paws!

Pet care experience

I was born into a family surrounded by pets and the real animals were my cousins! Haha! On a serious note, I've always been around animals and had pets. I grew up with 4 family dogs and 3 family cats. I also took care of my own bird, guinea pigs, small reptiles, and Rabbit. I take pride in spoiling all the animals in my life with play time, baths, toys, and accessories!

It was an absolutely pleasure to have Sam watch my Greyleigh. She’s very wary of strangers, and Sam made sure to give her her distance but still keep an eye on her to make sure she was okay while we were gone. He followed the care instructions to a T, and nothing was amiss. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Sam did an excellent job taking care of my cat! He took wonderful pictures of the cat, litter box, food and water which was much appreciated and gave me confidence that the cat was being well taken care of. Would definitely hire again, thank you!

Why can I say?? Sam has such a lovely energy and was so calm and welcoming when we arrived to his place with our cat. We had been nervous, it being our first time using Rover, but Sam eased our anxiety immediately. Throughout our trip he consistently sent updates, photos, and video of our little furry critter which was amazing. He was communicative with us, and patient and caring with our kitty. We will definitely be reaching out to him again next time we travel!

I do not have a fenced in yard, but that makes for nice walks around the neighborhood. I maintain my focus on our surroundings for any other animals, people, or trash/food lying around. Making sure my leash and harness are properly adjusted to my dog(s) so I can act fast and take control of any situations that may arise. Most importantly, my dog(s) and I have an enjoyable time outside in the fresh air!

I'm currently a full-time online graduate student. So I spend a majority of my time at home and my outings are spent on multiple walks with my best pal, Delbert, who also likes runs as we train for a half marathon!
