Life long pet sitter

Pet care experience

My first job as a teenager was as a dog walker and still remains one of the best jobs I've ever had. I love animals of all sizes and would love to take care of yours. I am very familiar with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I currently live with 3 black labs, two younger terror twins and one old lady, along with 3 cats. Age, size, temperament is no bother, I love them all. I would like nothing more to take your pet on walks, throw the ball around, or just give them some cuddles and love. If you have any questions, please reach out!

Sam has taken care of our three dogs many times, taking them on long walks and taking them out whenever needed. They are responsible and timely and caring. They are a responsible pet owner of their own cat and clearly cares for all animals. I don’t hesitate a moment to leave our animals in their care.

Sam is such a caring and amazing animal friend! They make sure that pups and kitties are always well fed, well walked, and get the cuddles they obviously deserve! Every time Sam has watched by dog, they have done an amazing job. Both for daily walks AND overnight stays. My dog LOVES when Sam comes over and is always super excited when they arrive! I could not recommend Sam more to take care of your animal companions!

I have used Sam as a cat sitter personally several times. They stayed in my apartment and provided round-the-clock services for both my previous and current cats. My apartment was left in pristine condition when they left and they were able to follow instructions on feeding, litter box cleaning, and my personal preferences on how to care for my cats without error. I was relieved to have Sam cat sit for me because I knew my cat(s) would be well taken care of and that if any issues arose they would notify me immediately. Though I have not had Sam dog sit for me (since I do not own one), I know their family has several dogs and they are familiar with the care, feeding, and training of dogs. If I had a dog I would not hesitate to also have them dog sit for me as well. I will continue to use Sam as a cat sitter for future trips I have and would recommend them to anyone, especially nervous owners like myself, as they provided me great peace of mind in their care of my pets.

I can't bring any animals to my home, but can visit in your home or the park or where ever is best for you. I love long walks and being outside, so I am perfectly happy to spend time with your pet where ever is best.

Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how they react to other animals, especially while out on walks or things similiar. I don't want anyone, owner, pet, stranger, or me to get upset or worked up about behavior or tendencies that can be easily avoided!

A typical day

I love to go on long walks or play in an safe area. I often take the dogs on 2+ mile walks around my very hilly neighborhood. If there is a safe place to do so, I love to throw a ball or get them excited and running around. I'm a big fan of cuddles and attention after a walk, whether that pets, brushing, hanging out whatever.
