Samantha was a great catsitter! I appreciated the daily updates and pictures, and the time she spent keeping Sheldon company while we were gone. I will definitely rebook her next time I need a sitter. Highly recommend!

Sam is great! Very flexible and easy communication for coordinating walks. She made the most out of the 30-minute walks with my dog Beau. I super appreciate that as it's his only exercise right now, and he can be pokey. He was delighted to see her each day and came back every time in a better mood :)

Sam is always extremely attentive and loving to our dogs. Great communication with her as well, we always know when she's going to be able to get over to our place or needs to reschedule.

Schedule

I currently work part time and not regular hours so your pets needs and schedule come first to me! I will stop by as many times as you need and send as many pics as you'd like so you know your lil' dude is in good hands! My partner works from home and will always be available if we're pet sitting for you.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard and I always provide supervision when leaving any animal to explore it. In fact, honestly, my mom just recently called me a helicoptor-mom to my animals so there really won't be much (if any) unsupervised moments in my care!

Pets

A typical day

We can play in the backyard or goto a dog park! I love walking dogs around lake Nakomis or taking them to various lakes around the twin cities and seeing nature and getting them good and tired. We have plenty of toys in our home for tug-of-war or fetch and our neighborhood is nice for dog-walking and kid-sightings.
