My roommate has a husky/shepherd mix in the house who loves making friends with other pups. She's a super sweet playful friend that I frequently watch due to my roommate traveling often for work. I also am all of my friends go-to dog watcher for when they're traveling and am happy to stay at their homes to keep an eye on the house as well.

Loving Sitter w/ Rescue Experience

Pet care experience

Sam was absolutely wonderful with Bear. He provided updates every day and sent me pictures of my buddy while I was away. I really appreciated his communication and the amazing care he provided for Bear.
