Highlights
Pet care experience
Trustworthy & experienced
Hello! I have 11 years of professional pet care experience, and 17 years of pet sitting experience. NAPPS Certified. Pet First Aid Certified by the American Red Cross. My career in animal welfare has provided me with every tool necessary to give your pet the best care possible. I have been professionally trained by the MSPCA’s Director of Behavior in positive reinforcement and clicker training. My career experience includes aiding in medical care, administering medications, supervising playgroups, implementing behavior plans, grooming and transporting dogs, participating in vaccination clinics, handling dogs for weddings/events.. the list goes on. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am also comfortable and familiar with small animals such as rabbits, ferrets, and rodents. My specialties include shy/nervous pets, senior pets, and long walks with active dogs. My training style is gentle, patient, and reward based. I have a wealth of experience caring for fearful and reactive animals, and am dedicated in my pursuit to slowly and respectfully gain their trust.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Prior to the start of services, I am happy to meet in person at no cost to you in order to become familiar with each other, provide an initial introduction for your pet, go over instructions and exchange keys/necessary information. Safety is my top priority, and I am happy to work with you to determine the best care for your pet. Due to my experience, I have a wealth of knowledge in animal care and am highly accustomed to monitoring animals for signs of abnormalities. Attention to detail is my strong suit.

The best, as always!
Sam did an amazing job caring for our two dogs. Both of them are older and have some health issues so I was very nervous about leaving them with someone, but Sam was diligent in watching over them, gave them their medication as needed and checked in frequently. Would definitely use Sam again!
I cannot say enough about how fantastic Sam is! We adopted a new dog and since he's a nervous guy he can't attend doggie daycare yet. After a failed attempt w/ another Rover dog walker, Sam was brilliant w/ Gouda. This is Sam's full time job and the professionalism & skills she exhibits prove that. She was patient w/ Gouda each time she has come to the house, creating treat trails to encourage him to leave his crate such that he gets used to her and becomes more comfortable w/ each visit. I will definitely continue to book Sam's services. You cannot go wrong w/ hiring her!
Great as always! We have so much trust in Sam! Thanks for allowing us to have peace of mind while we are away.
Sam takes wonderful care of our dog and because we know he is happy and well taken care of , we can be at ease.
