Safety, trust & environment

ADDITIONAL INFO: I know how important fur babies are and will stay in constant communication with you whether through call, text, or picture updates (and don't worry, you can expect a lot of photo updates!). Before pet sitting, I would like to meet to ensure your pet and I are a good fit for each other and learn of the essential locations (food, leash, toys, treats, etc.). It’s helpful if you also provide written instructions with the above information and emergency contacts (vet, a family member/friend if I can’t get ahold of you). I’ll send picture updates during and after each visit and provide honest feedback on how the stay went. You can trust that a responsible adult is putting 100% into your animal. I would expect that for my pets so I will provide it to you and yours. Please let me know of any additional needs in advance. I look forward to meeting your pet!

Samantha communicated so well in making the reservation and leading up to her visit. I loved the pictures and update she sent about each of my dogs.

Sam was an incredible sitter, she was so great and dependable with both our dog and cat. Even when an issue arose unrelated to the animals, she was incredibly prompt to assist us. We recommend Sam to anyone with animals and we will be using her for all of our needs going forward. Thank you so much!

To ensure your pet is happy and healthy while mom and/or dad are away, I have provided 10 questions to think about. Feel free to answer as many or as little as you would like. I simply want to make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible so not to induce any unneeded anxiety on both you or your pet. 1. How many and what type of pets will I be taking care of? 2. How much and how often does the pet eat, go for walks, go potty? 3. How does your pet walk? Do I need to steer clear of other animals or are they okay to sniff and interact? Do they pull or use certain commands? 4. How do you deal with bad behavior (chewing/digging, etc.)? What expectations do you have for me? Are there certain commands or words you use? 5. How do you reward good behavior? Do you give them a treat or extra affection? 6. What is your pet(s) favorite toys and games? 7. Is your pet allergic to anything? 8. Is there anything I need to keep an eye out for (do they scratch furniture, is there a specific spot in your yard they dig at, does your pet try to run when the door opens, etc.)? 9. What are your pet’s triggers? What are they scared of? What will they react to? How do you deal with these reactions (thunder shirt, anxiety medicine, etc.)? 10. Is there anything else you would like me to know beforehand? Here are some not-so-fun but necessary questions to ask: 1. What should I do in case of medical emergency? 2. What should I do in case the pet gets out when they’re not supposed to? Do they come when called? Do they go to a certain location? 3. What to do if I need to clean up a mess? If your pet has a potty accident, where are your cleaning supplies located and how do you usually clean up a mess?
