Information Sam L. would like to know about your pet

Whatever makes your pet happy is important to me. If you are interested in some kind of training during their stay, please let me know that as well!

A typical day

First, we will play together so that they get their energy out and feel more comfortable around me. Even if they don’t enjoy playing typically, i will find their game. Then, I will reward them with a healthy snack. We will probably play some more, and I will show them some new sights. At this point, they’ll be sleepy so we will cuddle and I will give them affection. And repeat!

As always Sam was fantastic! We were in the middle of moving and she really helped us out with being there and communicating with us when needed. Definitely would recommend!

Sam is phenomenal! She is very knowledgeable about cats and cat care and you can tell that she really loves animals. Her home is basically a cat paradise! She kept us well-informed with pictures and other updates. She took such great care of our cat and will definitely be using Sam again in the future!

Fantastic! Very communicative and sends lots of pictures. Follows up even after the stay and will reach out if she needs to.

Best place to board your cat in Bloomington. I come to the Indy area for work and bring my cat for Sam to take care of. I love her place and her home has really good energy for my cat. I would absolutely recommend Sam for your pet sitting needs.
