Full Time Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and have grown up with pets my entire life. Friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers have all trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets and homes for over 16 years. I am well-versed in walking, running, bathing, training, and feeding all sorts of animals of all different breeds and ages-- from dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, ducks, horses, and more. I also have lots of experience with animals who have specific behavioral needs that I am happy to accommodate. I live an active lifestyle and am happy to bring your pets along for hikes, runs, and more. I also have experience walking multiple pets at a time.

Sam deserves ALL THE STARS for how great of a petsitter she is. Kind and attentive to our kitten Rocky. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

Sam was amazing! I can't recommend her highly enough. I don't usually leave Lola with anyone, and Sam was just amazing with her and super communicative-I got lots of photos of them having the best time together. I also felt really safe leaving Sam in charge of my home. She is super respectful and thoughtful and I wouldn't hesitate to have her come take care of Lola again!

Safety, trust & environment

I am dedicated to providing your pets with the routine and lifestyle they've come to learn and love through your care. In Your Home: I am a guest in your home, so I treat it with care. I am always clean, tidy, responsible, and mindful of your space and house rules. In My Home: I live in a gated apartment in a very safe residential neighborhood in the Palisades, which means I am within walking distance of dog-friendly hiking trails and beaches. My neighborhood is also very quiet and safe, perfect for walking your pets at any hour of the day. I aim to make your animals as comfortable as possible in my home I am dedicated to tending to your pet(s) with the attentiveness, compassion, and love they deserve. I can assure you that your pets are in the best of hands under my care.

Information Sam J. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what type of lifestyle your pet is used to so that I can make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. It would be helpful for me to know: -Feeding schedule -Walk/exercise schedule -Bathroom schedule -Any allergies -Health issues -Medications -Special games, treats, or toys -Any triggers (scared of skateboards, bikes, etc)

A typical day

I love to go on walks, runs, and hikes with dogs. I am an LA native and know tons of dog-friendly places we can go to get outside and have some fun if you want your dog to get some fresh air and exercise. I can also arrange dog play dates if you have friends, family, or neighbors your dog likes to play with.
