Loves Pets of all Types
Pet care experience
I love animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. I have been fortunate enough to have all types of pets growing up on a farm, I have worked with dogs from 8 pounds to 80 pounds my whole life, but love dogs all of sizes. I currently have two dogs, two macaws, and 10 chickens back home. Growing up on the farm I was always around a lot of animals and responsibilities. So I am used to a lot of chaos and energy when it comes to pets and environments. I do work a full time job so my availability varies but I am always available early morning and afternoon. I am happy to help in whatever way you need, from long walks, to a quick stop by, and help train and enforce the basic commands in dogs.
Reviews
Sam was great with our two dogs while we were gone for a week. She sent lots of updates/pictures. Sam left our home in great shape. We will definitely use here again!
Sam was wonderful & excellent with my dog. I had every confidence in her, and I recommend her highly. I’d love to have her help care for my dog again.
I have known Sam for more than 10 years. She is a true dog lover, and a terrific pet sitter. She has looked after our dogs many times, and both dogs absolutely love her. She will walk them or simply throw a ball for them until they decide they're finished with that game. When exercise time is done, she will just sit with them, giving them pats, scratches, and snuggles. Sam has also given our dogs their required medication on schedule and without any issues. It's also worth sharing that one of my dogs suffers from severe anxiety, and can be somewhat unpredictable. Sam has taken the time to get to know his behaviors and things that can trigger him to feel defensive and become aggressive. She handles him beautifully, and we have no concerns about leaving him in her care. Finally, Sam is reliable and honest. I trust her completely to come into our home when we are not there. I am delighted to be able to provide a positive reference for Sam!
Sam has watched our dogs on several occasions, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is wonderful with the dogs, they love her! She is extremely responsible and takes exceptional care of our dogs when she’s watching them.

I am happy to follow your families rules and routines for your pets. Whether that is making sure that they are crated after I leave, walking them for long periods of time, making sure they have their play time, and taking their medication. Pets being left home can be stressful for the pet and you and I am here to make it as comfortable as possible.
Information Sam T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your pets special characteristics. Do they not like being touched on certain parts of their body? Do they have a toy they helps relieve stress? Do they eat too quickly and I need to make sure they take their time? Do they have things that make them more comfortable or are there things they get stressed over?
A typical day
I love to keep dogs entertained and stimulated. I’m happy to continue your own training as well as working the dog through their commands. I am happy to take dogs on walks or throwing a ball for them. For cats I’m happy to get their favorite toy and spend time with them.
