Pet care experience

Animals have always been a big part of my life. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or just being a calm presence, I enjoy making animals feel safe and cared for. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. Also, Im a runner and offer that as an additional service, so if you have a high energy breed and that’s something you’re interested in please let me know! - I have fostered multiple dogs and cats over the years through the Humane Society and smaller organizations. During the pandemic, my foster dog became a foster fail. We had 5 great years before he passed earlier this year. - I have provided pet and house sitting services for family, friends, and neighbors in and around Tampa Bay. - Through TSH, I have dog and cat sat for 4 different families. - During undergrad, I was a volunteer at a retirement farm for horses. Please reach out if there are any concerns I can address. Feel free to ask me specifics. I understand how important our animals are to us and will make sure our arrangements leaves us both feeling comfortable. *** Ask me about available discounts for extended stays (7+ days) and repeat care***

Sam was a lifesaver watching our two dogs on a holiday weekend on short notice. She sent lots of updates and photos and our dogs had a great time with her. Thanks, Sam!
