Pet care experience
I have been pet sitting for roughly 10 years. It started when I was young just caring for my friends dogs and cats when they went out of town but has evolved into a small client base that I want to expand. I have cared for mostly senor dogs, providing them with medication as it was prescribed, ensuring they were safe when outside, and updating owners on any changes in behavior and physical condition. Recently I have gotten my own dog who is a bit under two years old and that is the most experience I had with puppies but I do know quite a bit about training and am willing to care for young dogs as well. I love dogs with all my heart and grew up with them in the house. I don't have any cats in my family but I do know how important they are to their family and I love to take care of the cats I have taken care of in the past. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and deserve care and comfort when their humans are away.
Reviews
Sam has taken care of our dogs for the past 2.5 years! She is wonderful! So conscientious! I continue to use her and would recommend her to anyone!

I like to get a rough idea of the pets typical schedule and stick as close to that as possible, making sure everyone is fed on time, walked when walks are needed, and generally keeping them on the same schedule they are used to! I have found this to be the best option as it gives the pets a sense of normalcy in their routine while the family is away.
Information Sam S. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has special medicine, meal plans, or general health concerns, please let me know ahead of time. I want to make sure I can take care of pets to the best of my ability and knowing anything they need specifically in advance ensures that I can do that.
A typical day
I love to take dogs on nice long walks, I've found that jogs make sure the pups get some energy out and the older dogs enjoy a more leasurly pace. I also like to play fetch with dogs when I can. As for cats, a fether on the end of a stick to get them running around has always done the trick for me. Overall, I like to make sure the pets in watching get some physical and mental exercise while under my care.

I am a full time student currently so I don't have the most time in the world but I am more than happy to take a break from school work to play and walk with pets and then maybe hang out together while I study before their dinnertime!
