Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At home I have a fenced-in yard and a built-in doggy door, and I share my space with two sweet, adaptable dogs who don't meet a stranger. If having a secure home with a built-in welcome committee sounds like a good fit, hosting at my place is absolutely an option! I also have an SUV with seats that fold flat and a doggy hammock for safe, comfy travel, and I live within 10 minutes of both Two Rivers Dog Park and Shelby Dog Park. I'll honor your pet's existing food schedule and prioritize keeping their environment calm, uplifted, and consistent.

Sam was great with the animals (an older cat and an anxious dog). She had the added challenge of dealing with kidney medication for the cat and everything went well.

Sam was a life saver! She took good care of my cats and bunnies while I was gone and she was very kind to send me cute pics of my pets every time she came to check in on them. I will definitely book again in the future!!!

I am so happy I came across Sam's profile. Sam truly loves caring for pets and is very considerate and communicated with me while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again. My kitty loved her! Very happy with her work.

Sam was wonderful with my elderly cat. I loved getting pictures; it was great not having to worry about my cat. I knew she was in good hand.

Schedule

My schedule is super flexible. I work remotely, so drop-ins and walks are usually doable with at least a day's notice and overnights with a few days' heads up so I can ensure my pups are also set up for ultimate success.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sam can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
1. How they do on leash and what their energy is typically like when meeting someone new? 2. Feeding schedule and amounts (same for treats) 3. Any training goals or skills you're working on so I can keep things consistent? 4. Medication instructions (if applicable) 5. Very info 6. Backup emergency contact 7. Where you keep the backup poop bags 😂 The more I know, the better I can show up for your pet bud!
