Pet care experience

Ready to dote on your fur-baby!

Hello, my name is Sam and I’m a Northwestern student! I am a fur-parent myself to a 3 year old Great Dane, so I understand how important it is to find a good caretaker for your babies! As you’ll read in my reviews, I am reliable and trustworthy, and I have over 10 years of cat-care experience and I only care for one cat household at a time to ensure exceptional care. Please message me if you think we are a good fit, I’m happy to meet y’all!

Safety, trust & environment

I think safety is key. I’d love to know what your pet is used to (sleep arrangements, food, dietary restrictions, meds, parks, etc.) I only care for 1 other pet (other than my own dog) at a time to ensure best service.

Sam was an amazing dog sitter. While she didn’t stay at the house she was able to drop by multiple times a day, even over the holiday. She kept me up to date on everything and I could tell my pup was tired out when I got home. Would definitely recommend.

Sam was absolutely amazing! She made sure Bowie got his exercise and plenty of cuddles. Looking forward to bringing Bowie here on a regular basis!

This was our first time using Sam R. We are extremely satisfied. We came home to some very happy fur babies. We know when our pups are happy and they really showed it. Thank you Sam for a great experience.

I’m a student so I am flexible to adjust my schedule as needed. I also have a car and can transport pets efficiently locally as needed.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sam can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I love all kinds of dogs! My first dogs were Golden retrievers and my first cat was our house princess for 15 years! I would like to know if a dog has medication requirements, allergies, special quirks, or any notable history of biting in the past.
