Pet care experience

College Student who loves animals!

Hey all! I am a 23 year old college student living in Cedar falls Iowa and would love to help you out with taking care of your pet! I do not know a home without an animal as I grew up with a dog and cat always in the house. This meant i was on dog walking, cat poop scooping, and all the feeding duties! Additionally I have done pet sitting for the past 4 years for other creatures where I house sit, dog walked, and checked in on the animals. My schedule is based around my school hours, but with evenings and weekends comes flexibility! Please reach out—I would love to work with you and your fury friend!

House Sitting • Jan 31, 2026

House was as clean or cleaner when I returned relative to when I left. Dogs were well taken care of and received updates while I was gone for a week. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire Sam again!

Sam is amazing with animals! Not only did she grow up caring for her own pets (both cats & dogs) but she’s also one of the most reliable and caring people I know. She’s a natural caregiver and I would fully trust her to look after my own dog. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter!

I love all dogs but know they each have their own boundaries and quirks. My only request is that you share those with me so we can all have a smooth time together!
