Fun weekend hikes at Horsetooth!

Pet care experience

My name is Sam and I'm a Physical Therapy student at Colorado State University, and a dog mom of one sweet 9 year old pup, named Cyprus, as well as a goofy 2 year old pup, named Bernie. Having grown up in a dog-loving environment with a mother who works full-time at a local animal shelter, I have learned many skills in dog-handling and care that allow me to feel confident in caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities! Cyprus and I do everything from challenging hikes at Horseooth, to playing at City Park, to casual walks around Old Town, and I would love to enjoy the same with your dog(s)!!!! I have been pet-sitting for almost 6 years now, and would love to continue caring for animals throughout my academic and professional career, here in Fort Collins.

Sam really went above and beyond when taking care of my dog Meeka. She doesn’t play with other dogs often enough now that she doesn’t live with another dog and Sam brought her dogs to visit for a walk and even brought Meeka to her house to have some company on the last day I was out of town (of course only after she knew that would be ok in both cases). I could tell she was going to take care of Meeka like she would her own dog and that Meeka really appreciated the company and attention while we were skiing for the weekend. Will definitely be using her services again!

Sam is super sweet and amazing with my dog! She walks my dog or takes her on short bike rides whenever I'm unable to take her. Sam is always on time and is super flexible with my busy schedule because of work. Being able to find someone who is extremely trustworthy and takes care of my dog in as her own is what makes me always go back to Sam. I strongly recommend her!

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a little bit about the dog's personality, for instance what tends to make them feel comfortable/uncomfortable. As well as their temperament with other dogs/animals and people. And lastly, id love to know their favorite activity to do, so i can make the best out of you pet's experience with me!

A typical day

A dog in my care can count on enjoying walks along the Poudre Trail, the occasional hike at Horsetooth Reservoir, or just simply walking around town. In addition to daily walks, I can run and/or skateboard with high-energy dogs with a need for speed! Lastly, I will often take them to City Park and/or other neighborhood parks to enjoy some fun in the sun.
