About Sam L.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Sam L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know everything (and more) that you think would help make my working with your dog a success. While I have experience with working with dogs with a variety of temperaments and needs, I am not a certified animal behaviorist and would not be a good fit for pups who are reactive to other dogs or people, or for dogs who display resource guarding with aggression.
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.

Pet care experience
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!
