Safety, trust & environment

I live near a road that doesn’t typically have traffic (major side road in the country), but even still I always make sure to take dogs out on leashes to ensure their safety. I do have cats but they can be put away to ensure your animal doesn’t feel threatened or scared. I have a safe space with plenty of quiet for your animal to be crated if they are feeling stressed or just need some alone time

Information Sam M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any specific care routines, as I can easily keep them on their schedule. This includes med administration, feeding, and potty times.

A typical day

I love to play with pets. Laser chasing, tug of war, fetch, and everything in between. I can adapt to how your pet enjoys to spend their time.

Sam is an amazing pet caregiver, and I can't recommend her enough! She has watched our boxer, Tank, multiple times, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing he's in her care. She is responsible, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. Tank is always happy, well cared for, and gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while we're away. It's clear that Sam treats every pet like they're part of her own family. Any pet owner would be lucky to have someone as kind, trustworthy, and attentive as Sam caring for their furry family member.

I cannot recommend Sam enough! She cared for my 2 dogs Luna, my very shy skittish golden doodle and Levi, my very hyper energetic standard poodle with a level of attention that honestly rivals family. From the moment she walked in, they they both lit up, even Luna who takes 3 business days to warm up to new people, was trotting around like she had just been reunited with their long lost best friend. Levi followed Sam everywhere, proudly showing off his collection of toys. Sam also made sure to send plenty of thoughtful updates, including several pictures of my furbabies! Beyond the basics of just walking and feeding, she even left the house tidier than she found it. Most importantly, my dogs were HAPPY, relaxed, and content. The hardest part for them was watching Sam leave. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets with genuine affection, humor, and professionalism, SAM IS THE ONE. I trust her completely, and my dogs do too, which is the highest praise I can give.
