About Sam R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Providing a trustworthy & relaxed experience is very important to me. As a pet parent myself I know how hard it is to leave your baby in the care of a stranger so I want to make sure I do what I can to ease any anxieties and make this a chill process you and your pet. To make sure this goal is met I ask for open communication about pet behaviors and clear expectations about the care I will provide. I have a lot of experience working and staying in other people's homes and know how to respect your space like it is my own. If any pet accidents occur under my watch I will not hesitate to clean them up in a timely manner and I always make sure I leave a home exactly as I found it. To keep your pets & belongings safe I always double check locks and make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave. I have experience with escape artist pups & cats so I am good about making sure I open and close with care. I am serious about keeping your pets safe and providing a professional experience whether I am staying over night or just stopping. As mentioned in my bio I have over a decade of professional experience working with families to provide in home pet and child care so you can trust that your pet and house are in safe hands.
Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet
You know your pet better than anyone so I trust you to share what needs to be shared with me! All I ask is an open line of communication and no surprises about behaviors you are already aware of. If you are booking me for an overnight stay I do request that you write and leave a list of your pets' schedules, any important info about your home, and important phone numbers for me to reference.
A typical day
I am a big fan of going for walks and exploring neighborhoods with pups! I particularly love checking out parks and nature trails nearby if that is an option for your pet/location. I am also always happy to hang out and relax if that is more the vibe your pet is looking for. When staying overnight with pets I have no problems with cuddling up if they are personal space invaders or giving them their space if they need it. Let me know what your pet likes to do and I will do my best to make it happen! :)

Responsible & Experienced Petsitter
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. As you might have noticed from my photos I love all types of critters and I've never met an animal I didn't like. From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way! I am an experienced sitter and have been watching, walking, and caring for pets of friends, family, and clients for well over a decade. I am a responsible & professional adult with many positive reviews so you can rest assured your baby will be in capable hands. I am very familiar with Rover and have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines quickly. I treat all pets I care for like my own and will be more than happy to let them share my personal space while they wait for you to come home! I also love to take photos of animals so your pet will be my model on our walks. :) While I hold a full time day job as an Outdoor Educator for a local nonprofit, I am looking to supplement my income by filling some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species and love meeting new people. I am happy to work with locals and visitors alike and can meet folks wherever works best for you & your pet whether that be your home, local parks/hiking trails, rentals, or restaurants. So if you're in the Tri-Lake area I'd love to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions - thank you for checking out my profile and considering me for your pet sitting needs! 🐸
Reviews
We’re so appreciative of Sam’s help! She was easy to communicate with ahead of time, punctual and kind to our dog.
Sam did such a great job with our shy pup while we were out of town! We appreciated all of the check ins and pictures. Would definitely rebook!
Sam is the best! She walked Reggie for me for months after I had major surgery and was always punctual and reliable. Reggie loves her! She is patient and always makes his walks fun. I can't recommend Sam highly enough! She is a gem!
Sam was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away! I would highly recommend her and will absolutely use again!
