Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Providence pet care pro
I am an experienced, full-time pet care professional located in Providence. I cared for dogs and cats during my time as an undergrad in Portland, OR before moving to Salt Lake City and transitioning to part-time, independent pet care services. While I am a proud cat mom, I love spending time with my canine clients and my schedule largely consists of daytime dog walking. Detailed reviews and references, including from my time as a freelance pet care provider, are available upon request. Thanks for considering me to help care for your furry friend, and hope I can help you and your best friend/s!

Ratings and reviews
We will miss Sam so much! Thanks for being such a great dog sitter
One of the best pet sitters you will ever find highly recommend. Very sad that she's moving away from my area. Wish they were staying cuz they're always so good. My pets love her and will always be in their heart. Like I said, very friendly. Very highly recommend I would hire her in a heartbeat again but like I said she's moving away so me and my pets are sad.
Sam was fantastic! Responsive, knowledgeable, and so caring for our cat.
Sam was communicative and consistent and so helpful when one of my boys had an accident. I came home to three healthy cats!
Sam was great and our little boy appreciated the good walks and company!
Sam is the best and takes such good care of our pets, and the house. Thank you, Sam!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Most of my schedule is comprised of dog walks, but I care for animals of all kind and occasionally offer overnight house sitting as well.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
My services include 30 and 60 min. walks, 30 min. home check-ins, and overnight stays. With my overnight stay rate, I include breakfast and dinner feedings with a potty break, 1 hour long check-in in between, and spending the night with your pup. Safety is my #1 priority for your pet and your home; therefore, I always require a complimentary meet ‘n greet when we discuss an action plan should an emergency arise. I always try to mimic your dog's normal routine as much as possible and work hard to develop a close bond to alleviate as much stress as I can for them while you're away. I know the worry that comes with leaving your pet, whether that’s for a few hours or for a few days, so I strive for clear and prompt communication with every owner.
Pets
A typical day
I always cater my activities with your dog to what they enjoy best! For example, for a senior dog who can only withstand a 15 minute slow-paced walk, clients can book a 30-minute walk that would then include 15 minutes of another activity they enjoy at home, whether that's belly rubs or backyard fetch. I've looked after dogs from high-energy labrador puppies who could play for hours to senior dogs who wanted to do nothing more than to sit on my lap and take a nap. For overnight clients, please note that my rate includes the overnight stay, 30 min. breakfast & potty, a midday check-in (which includes a walk), and 30 min. dinner & potty. Therefore, additional check-in(s) will need to be booked for dogs who do not tolerate 4-5 hour blocks of time alone or require extra potty breaks outside of this schedule.
