Highlights
Pet care experience
Total animal lover
I absolutely love animals. I grew up with a cat before my family adopted a senior dog and got a puppy. I’m able to administer medication to pets, as we did that with our senior dog, but have also cared for our (no longer) puppy his entire life. I helped train him and helped him understand fetch, which he now loves. Additionally, I often cared for my grandma’s cat both when she couldn’t and just because I love her cat.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In someone’s home, I’m always respectful of their limits with their pets. If at a friend’s, I always make sure to ask whether it’s okay if their pet can be on the couch, given a treat, etc.
Ratings and reviews
Sam is amazing with animals! Her background in childcare shines through in her compassion towards all animals. My senior yellow labrador, Taylor, gets very anxious when she’s around new people and not with her family. When Sam watched her for two nights while my family was away, Taylor grew an immediate liking towards Sam (and was even sad to see her go when we returned from our trip). In my years of knowing Sam, she has always been extremely dependable, caring, and trustworthy.
Sam is an amazing pet caregiver with so much compassion and love for animals! I have an Australian cattle dog with too much energy for his own good, and Sam is so attentive and patient with him! I know I can always trust Sam to watch Otis, whether that is for an afternoon walk or an entire week of dog sitting. Sam absolutely adores all dogs, and they love her equally as much in return. She is a highly responsible, motivated, and loving person, and I highly recommend her services!
