A sitter for your furry family!

Pet care experience

*I am taking a break from petsitting for the months of May & June as I finish my Master's degree and settle into my new full-time job in Norman, OK! I hope to be able to take pet care requests again starting in July.* 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.

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

Any commands your pet already knows would be helpful, so that I can practice with them! Other important information will include the 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!
