Responsible & Experienced Petsitter

Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. 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. Additionally, I have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines very quickly. While I hold a full time day job I am looking to fill some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species so if you're in my area I'd love to meet you and your pets!

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!

Maddy has been a tremendous help to me! After knee surgery I needed someone to walk my rambunctious puppy, Reggie. Maddy was up to the challenge and went the extra mile every weekday morning for months. I am walking him myself now but I know he misses his friend, Maddy! I will definitely be contacting her in the future!

I highly recommend Sam R if you need a petsitter. She is utterly reliable, loves animals, and will take really good care of your pets. She’ll send you photos, too. I am completely comfortable leaving her in charge when I travel. I know my pet is in safe, respectful, and loving hands. .
