Work from home, trail runner, yard!

Pet care experience

Hello there! Nice to meet you and your pet! Me and my pup, Rhodie, are eager for new dog friends to play with! I'm a big trail runner, mountaineer, hiker, camper, outside type of gal who loves all animals. I am happy to run and walk your dog, or sit and snuggle with them too, no matter their size. I work from home as a wedding florist, so I'm constantly outside trimming plants, working in the garden or running around. I am home all day and have a huge, sunny, grassy yard for playing. There are plenty of places for dogs to sit, sun bathe, snuggle, rest and dream here at my tiny home. The ranch style is ideal for elderly animals, too, so there isn't much stress on those little legs! I have lots of places to snuggle and big windows to watch the world through. Come stay with me and we will be fast friends!

Sam is wonderful to work with and Rhodie is such a sweetie! McKinley had such a lovely time with them.

DJ had a great time with Sam and Rhodie! When I picked up my dog, he was having so much fun he didn’t want to leave at first! Sam is also very responsive and flexible. I’ll definitely be bringing DJ back for more visits.

Sam was amazing! Great communication, a wonderful safe yard for my pup and hers to play in, and what I'm sure is endless patience when dealing with a high energy puppy. I am confident that my dog felt right at home with Sam - I think he would have been thrilled to stay even longer. The next time I need a sitter for Eugene, I hope Sam will be available; there's no one else I trust more!

Sam is a great dog sitter! Our puppy absolutely loved being at her house and playing with her sweet dog, Rhodie. Sam seems to have great experience with dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our puppy with her...honestly, we were a little afraid our puppy wouldn’t want to come home after such a great weekend with Sam and Rhodie. Highly recommended 👍🏼

Information Sam M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences - I'm no stranger to aggressive or elderly animals. I do require animals to be house broken (unless puppy). I do not have a kennel on site, so if your dog requires that, you'll need to provide. I'd love to have multiple dogs at once, so being friendly to other dogs and/or people is a great thing!

A typical day

There are many parks here in Downtown Littleton and the Platte River trail is only 0.5 miles away. I run/bike there almost every day! I love to hike, trail run, take road trips and car rides, play in the yard and garden and soak up the sun while working on my computer on the deck. There is plenty of sunshine and room to roam in my back yard for the energetic puppy!

I work from home full-time and live an active lifestyle. Daily walks/runs/hikes are a must! I have plenty of flexible time to give attention to the animals in my home and am never away from home for too long.
