Safety, trust & environment

I will typically care for your pets in your home 🙂 They are safe and comfortable in their home, so why change that? I try to keep their schedule somewhat consistant as when you are home so that they'll be less stressed.

Sam was so great with our dog. He needs diabetes medication injected twice a day and she had no problems with that, which is a huge relief. She stayed with him and he had a great time. We will be using Sam again!

Sam is AMAZING! We needed a last minute house sitter for our Great Dane because we had to travel to see a family member who is about to pass away. Sam responded quickly and even moved some things around on her schedule to help us. Upon meeting Sam I felt at ease, she is very kind and warm and my dog immediately warmed up to her and was happy. I knew I was leaving my home and dog in very capable hands. After returning, my home was just as I left it, and my dog was happy and well taken care of. Sam even updated with photos and how my dog was doing while we were away and updated me before leaving our home. Thank you so much Sam!

Sam was a very friendly girl, loves dogs and was amazing with Bella and Franklin. We went away for 4 days and she sent lots of photos and updates. I would highly recommend her and would.not hesitate to use her again anytime we go away.

Sam was wonderful with Dora! I'm rather particular about who cares for my dogs, and I found Sam to be both knowledgeable, compassionate, reliable and responsible. I highly recommend her.

If anyone should be a dog sitter it is Sam. She seriously loves dogs. She has three dogs of her own and is even fostering one right now. She is always ready to help any animals that needs it. Sam is very very responsible. She has always done well in school while also participating in band, music, and other extracurricular activities. She always works here hardest and would do very well with dog sitting your pups and cats.

Schedule

I currently work at Selma Animal Services. My schedule varies, but generally they are 8 hours shifts. When I work during the day my husband, Elias, might be able to assist with potty breaks if you are okay with it. We are a great team and won't let your pet down 😊

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sam can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I love all animals, no matter the shape, size, or breed. Before sitting I would like to know: - special needs - age - behavior issues - feeding schedule - playing type (high energy, low energy, loves to run, likes to swim...)
