Life long dog lover 🦮
Pet care experience
I have always dogs all my life! I grew up with breeds from border collies to newfoundlands to boxers and now have two golden doodles. I’ve also always had a tabby cat in the house so my pet expertise has a range of experience. My parents rely on me to take of the the family pets when they are out of town or busy at work and I happily take the dogs on long walks and have fun playing fetch in the yard. I am a new employee at Cornell, so Rover is providing me with so many opportunities to explore Ithaca, which I would love to do with your pet too! As an employee at Cornell, I typically work 8 hour shifts but have lots of flexible in start time. Additionally, I am able to take a mid day break if needed to check on a furry friend! I have done Rover for over a year now and have had plenty of experiences with many different types of dogs and cats, as well as the occasional rabbit or bird! Please let me know if you have any questions?
Reviews
Sam is consistently amazing. So kind, caring, responsive.
Sam is amazing. She has watched Henrietta (my cat) multiple times both in terms of house sitting and drop ins. She is so kind, reliable, respectful and was able to super quickly create a trusting relationship with my cat. Henrietta LOVES her!
Sam was amazing with our pups and updated us frequently! Our pups love her!
Another great stay! Thank you Sam for accommodating our very last minute request!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure to ask any and all questions regarding a pets normal routine to ensure that a stay with me is not stressful, as I find that sometimes missing an owner can be a lot for a pet! I also try to communicate as much as needed during the stay, whether it be through photos of the pet or relaying important changes in appetite or energy!
Information Sam P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there is anything important to you and your family as I care for your pets! I try to create as much of a routine similar to what yours might look like, so that your pet can be as happy as can be!
A typical day
I love playing with dogs, and try to find a dogs favorite activity in the first few hours of spending time with them! I also really enjoying walking, running, and hiking and will take your dog for as long a walk as they might like on a weekend or evening!

Availability
I am a full time employee so the best fit for me is a pet that can be left alone for some time! I often times have free weekends (especially holiday weekends as I get holidays off!!) and also LOVE to hike in the area in my free time as well.
