Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s new best friend is here.
I love dogs more than I love some members of my own family. Your pet won’t just be taken care of— they will be loved, pampered, and snuggled as much as they need while you are away. Give me a chance and I can assure you, I’ll be the only pet sitter you’ll ever need again. I have been on this platform for over five years and have many satisfied customers. My animals are my babies and I know yours are too. While I am caring for them, I will treat them with the same love, care and attention I give my own. I can handle emergencies, deal with separation anxiety, and give your pup the love they deserve so that they don’t even notice you’re gone. They will be safe, happy, and loved. I work from home and am usually available at any hour, though I do prefer to have at least a day's notice and a meet and greet before any appointments. If you are in an emergency situation and need your pet walked or dropped-in without a meet and greet, please reach out to me. My service area is fairly small - mostly in the Cortland Bayport neighborhood - but I am happy to service pets of any type within that area. Please don't be afraid to request something special if it will help you or your pet feel more comfortable. Need your dog's favorite radio station on to help deal with their anxiety? You got it. Does your cat only drink bottled water? My pleasure. Does your parrot only eat while watching reality TV? Consider it done. Want a picture of your hamster every hour on the hour while I'm housesitting? I'll set my alarm. While your pet is in my care, they are my priority. **As I now own two dogs, I only board dogs that I have worked with previously. For all other pets, I am always available for walks, housesitting, and drop-ins.**

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sam is a Godsend. She is responsive, reliable, and takes such excellent care of my little girl. I hesitate to leave her this glowing review - not because she doesn’t deserve it, but because I don’t want her to get so busy that she won’t always be available when I need her. 😂 Faith and I just love her.
Sam is the best dog sitter! She is very warm, loving and nurturing, especially to senior dogs like mine. I am so grateful we found Sam one year ago!

Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work from home and for the most part, I am available at any hour. I will let you know if that is not the case and will work with you to get you the care you need.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do only board previous clients. When I am in your home for housesitting, I will do my best to keep your pet on their normal schedule. I work from home so I can easily be there at all hours for your pet. For drop-ins, I document every single activity I do in your home. For walks, I do bring a doggie water bottle with me, and I will not take walks on the pavement during the hottest parts of the day to keep your dog's paws from burning. No matter what service I provide, safety is always my #1 priority.
Pets
A typical day
We'll walk to either of the local dog parks, snuggle on the couch, sit on the screened-in porch and say hello to the neighbors passing by, and maybe even take a sojourn to the dog beach if you're OK with that.
