Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a dorm, so I am unable to board pets at my location. However, I am more than happy to care for pets in any way the family requests. Whether it's providing access to a fenced yard, taking a trip to the dog park, going for a walk, or anything in between, I can accommodate your pet’s needs. Walks and home visits will be tailored to your pet's requirements and your preferences!

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pets, I’d like to know their feeding schedule, any medical needs or allergies, preferred activities, behavior around other animals, and any specific routines or commands they follow.

A typical day

Fun activities with pets include playing fetch, going for walks or hikes, visiting dog parks, teaching new tricks, interactive play sessions, or simply petting and bonding through quality time together.

Pet care experience

I have had cats and dogs throughout my entire life and have experience caring for both my own pets as well as those of friends and family. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playing, and spending quality time with them. As a college student, I miss having pets of my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours!

We had to go out of town for a few days. Our regular sitter was not available. We contacted Sam. She was great. Sam went above and beyond.
