Pet care experience

Active, local dog lover

As a local professional dog walker and pet sitter in Telluride, I would love to care for your pups while you are in town. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and care deeply about their happiness and comfort. As a competitive endurance athlete, I can match your pups energy needs. Whether it’s a spirited walk through town or a trail adventure in the high country, I will make sure every dog gets the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including senior dogs and puppies, and I am currently working on earning my K9 Wilderness Emergency First Aid certification. I look forward to meeting you and your pups!

We could not recommend Sam highly enough. She is friendly, caring, attentive, knowledgeable, responsible and accommodating. When one of our dogs got into a bit of trouble, she took charge, reassured us and got him the care he needed. We are very grateful to Sam and would definitely book her again.

She took great care of my cat Plum, spending quality time with her during her visit which was important to me since she is an only cat.

Sam did an outstanding job dog sitting for us! Sam was trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely cared about our dogs. Sam kept us updated with messages which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitting!

Sam is a true dog lover. She is a kind and gentle person who loves to be outdoors, the perfect companion for a dog who likes long walks and exploring outside. I can't say enough good things about Sam, highly recommend her!

I am a professional local dog walker and pet sitter in the Telluride area and therefore prioritize my bookings. As a mountain athlete, I love sharing outdoor adventures in the San Juans with the dogs I care for. But I also enjoy caring for pets in a home setting of all shapes, sizes, and ages.

Please let me know if your pup has any history of aggression— toward other dogs or humans. While I can typically work with the dog and owner to make it a safe walking or sitting experience, it’s important for me to be aware of their social skill— especially given many owners walk their dogs off-leash in Telluride. Thanks!
