Pet care experience

Cuddles are my favorite!

Hi! I’m Sam and I am a Masters student at Texas State University. I’ve been a dog lover for many years and have been a dog owner for about 5 years. My dog, Rusty, came into my life almost 4 years ago and was one of the best things to ever happen to me! He was a stray dumped on the side of the road that I instantly felt connected to when I scooped him up. He is the sweetest, most loving dog and won’t ever pass up a good cuddle. Taking care of a dog that had zero training, never stepping foot inside a loving home, taught me that patience and compassion are some of the most important needs for a dog. I am empathetic, energetic and love working with pets. I have a flexible schedule while I’m in school, and spend most of my time studying, taking care of Rusty and his doberman brother, Vader or being outside. I am free most weekends and also have no problem sleeping over in your home to keep your furry friends company!

Sam was our first “non friend/relative” dog sitter and she exceeded our expectations. Sam sent us pictures everyday and somehow she got them to smile. Will definitely hire her again.

Sam was excellent! We would love to have her watch our dogs again! She gave us tons of updates and put our minds at ease while we were away!

Schedule

I have most evenings and weekends open to drop-in, or take a walk with your pup. My dog is my world and most of my day is centered around giving him, or whomever I am sitting, what they need!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Samantha can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if there are any dietary/ health concerns, and I have no preference in breed. All dogs, big and small, are an absolute joy to be around!
