Pet care experience

Your pet's second-favorite person!

I've cared for animals of all species since I was a kid. Whether it's for drop-in visits for play, walks, and exercise, or extended stays, it's always a joy to get to know each animal's unique personality. Whether they're full of energy or full on couch potatoes I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. I have experience with senior dogs, anxious dogs, highly active dogs, and those with specific medication schedules. I'm also experienced with (and a big fan of!) caring for cats-whether they're shyer with new folks or instant lovebugs!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for people's pets in their homes, either on a drop-in basis for walks, play, and exercise, or for overnight pet-sitting. I like to begin with a meet and greet with owners and pets to get to know both parties, and get an introduction to the care needs and personality of the pet. My goal is to create a comfortable, relaxing environment for your animal and to communicate with you so that you have peace of mind while you are away.

Took superb care of the dog and the house. Was a fabulous communicator. We’d book her again in a heartbeat. In fact we already have.

Sam is an amazing pet sitter. Sam stays in my house when we are away and cares for my cats. The kitties are so happy with Sam! the continuity and company is great for them. Sam also sends gorgeous photos from the days activities! I trust Sam's meticulous and empathic care-- and the deep love Sam has for all four-legged friends. In addition, Sam keeps my house tranquil and very well cared for. Utterly trustworthy. Kind and professional!

Samantha "Sam" has been caring for my two cats for years now, and Sam is the BEST! I can leave on vacation and not worry at all that my kitties aren't being loved and fed and cared for because....They are! Sam sends me pictures of them playing (or resting, as they are wont to do) periodically, and we laugh at their antics together. One of my cats takes a pill twice a day, and Sam is a concerned and reliable pill-giver. Plus, Sam is honest and deeply respectful of my home. I cannot speak highly enough of them as a caretaker and as a person. Highest rating (and more!)!!!
