Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At home I have one large black lab mix currently who we walk 3 times a day a minimum of 45 minutes at a time. I believe that an animal with the ability to free feed should be allowed to however my bit is a bit over zealous with the food so we don’t do that, but I am more than happy to provide your pet with extra food if that is your style for the day. Water is typically put out new every few hours to keep the bowl full and pretty cold for the pup.

Sam has been a professional and caring sitter for our cats Lola and Ufo while we were away on vacation. We got updates every day and interactive photos that reassured us that our little fur babies were okay in every way. Thank you Sam for your reliability!

Schedule

I’m currently working part time as a pre school teacher. I will have plenty of time for caring for your furry friend. My work hours are only 2-6 at the current job so that leaves plenty of time for me and your pet to take long walks and play as much as they need.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Sam can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
I would love to hear any special things that your lovable pet needs. I am happy to accommodate in any way that I can. I have no preferences for types of dogs or cats I love all shapes and sizes of pet as well as any age
