Lover of All Pets

Pet care experience

I've had several dogs in my life since I was 5 from a black lab, corgi, golden retriever, russel terrier, and currently a poodle. The russel terrier and the poodle I got when they were puppies so I have plenty of experience dealing with all the puppy phases. I'm also a big cat lover, and have had 4 throughout my life, and currently have one in my home now. I've also boarded some for friends in the past with one time having up to 3 cats at once within my home. I've worked with many cats getting used to or just coexisting with other cats/dogs so no worries there. Also I have 2 turtles currently lol.

Sam was very responsive and sent regular updates with photos and videos about our two dogs and cat that stayed with him. He was watching several pets, and still took the time to walk our dogs on their leashes. He also made sure they got time in the yard on leads. This was the first time we sent our cat to a Rover sitter along with the dogs, and Sam was able to let us know what was "normal" behavior based on cats he has watched in the past. All of our pets, including the cat, settled in fine. Good visit and we would book again.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home I wake up early before work to let my dog out and once I get home I let her out again, feed her, bathe her, and whatever else is needed. I have a large yard with plenty of room to run and play, have plenty of toys and many routes to go on walks. My cat has a seperate area fenced off inside my home with his litter box, food, and water so that my dog doesnt get into it while also leaving it easily accessible for my cat. All my pets are given much love and attention and so will yours.

Information Sam M. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know about any foods/treats that your pet likes as well as their schedule if it is very specialized or unique. Also what their experience with other animals is is very helpful for my own pets interactions. Additionally any medications or special needs that your pet may have, and depending on what it is I may charge more for it.

A typical day

I have a big yard that great for exploring, playing fetch/catch, and other outdoor activities as well as a nice road that is not busy at all and has many routes to walk your dogs by. Also do love going to the dog park for more socializing.
