Availability

SUMMER AVAILABILITY I am available before 9am or after 4pm Mon-Thurs, and have most Fridays off for the summer so I have a lot of flexibility to help watch pets for weekend trips, or to do morning or evening checks on cats. NON-HOLIDAY AVAILABILITY | STARTS Aug. 16 Monday and Tuesday are my busiest days for my full time job, but with enough advance notice I can usually make arrangements. Wednesday and Thursday I am available before and after work (usually before 9am and after 5pm), with more limited time midday. With enough notice, or if you're close to campus, I can occasionally make a short visit during my lunch break too! I work from home most Fridays, and so have a high degree of flexibility during the weekends! I work full-time, but am committed to working with pet parents to keeping their fur baby on their regular schedule as much as possible. I will send daily updates, and do my best to accommodate any special requests. Please reach out to my Rover Number if you have any questions!

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to keep animals in their home as thier preferred environment. I will work with the pet parents ahead of time to best understand your pet's schedule, prefered interactions, and will send daily pictures and updates! Every pet is unique, so I limit my bookings to make sure each pet I take recieves individualized attention and the highest level of care!

Information Sam S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your pet's age, energy level, and regular routines. While I have significant experience caring for ageing dogs, I will need to know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs so that I can be prepared to give them the best experience!

A typical day

I have become a master in the art of "Fetch," as well as "Chase me to get the ball!" and even tug-of-war. I have also learned to multi-task by snuggling a purring cat on my lap at the same time I am completing reading for school. My dog enjoys sniff games where I will hide a few pieces of her food in corners around the house for her to find, and I am always interested in learning new friend's favorite games to play!

Pet care experience

I've cared for dogs since I was 8, and began professionally pet-siting at 19 during undergrad. I have since cared for all breeds of dogs, several rodents, and cats. I have provided senior care and have experience watching up to 6 pets at once. I have also cared for dogs with a wide range of health-related issues, including mobility, blindness, seizures, and incontinence.
