Pet care experience

Universal & Experienced Pet-Sitter!

I have owned and cared for a wide variety of animals all of my life including dogs, cats, reptiles, crustaceans, and fish. I have two boxers, four cats, eleven turtles, a Red-foot tortoise, a ball python, and five hermit crabs that receive unconditional love on a daily basis. I am a highly experienced pet owner/handler and will love and care for your precious pet as if they are my own! Does your pet have special medical needs? No worries! You can feel comfortable leaving them in my care. I have experience in caring for dogs and cats with diabetes, animals with specialized diets, administering medications, and post-surgery care. I have been pet-sitting for friends and family for a few years now and decided two years ago to turn my love for animals into a part-time position while I worked to obtain my Associates Degree in Nursing. Now I am proud to say that I am a Registered Behavioral Health Nurse, caring for adolescents, while also caring for animals in my free time.😊

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide unique and reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality in my client’s homes. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of affection. I am attentive to any specific instructions you may have, including medication regimens, training cues, and house rules, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort so pets, and their humans, can feel secure and happy while away from one another.

Sam is excellent! Getting a sitter that you can trust to take care of your fur babies is always scary. However, from the very beginning of our meet & greet, we felt comfortable with her. We also gave her a list of things to do, which she accomplished everyday, provided updates on how everything was doing, and was so responsible. We will definitely use her again.

Sam did a great job for multiple walks on a long weekend we were away! My little guy obviously enjoyed her visits, based on the photos she sent! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! M. In Easton

Sam was absolutely amazing with my dog, Ace! She came to my home for daily dog-sitting visits while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention she gave him. Ace can be a little reserved with new people, but he took to Sam right away—which says a lot. She made sure he was well cared for, got plenty of love and attention, and stayed on his routine. The updates and photos she sent were so reassuring and showed just how happy and relaxed he was in her care. It’s such a relief to know that Ace was safe, content, and in his own environment with someone I completely trust. I came home to a happy dog —what more could I ask for? I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
