Highlights
Pet care experience
I'll care for your fur babies!
I've been caring for dogs on a professional level since 2015, working for Big Paw Pet Care in Northern California, and running beginner dog-training classes at Petco. Recently I've worked for Petsmart as an Animal Care Specialist, making sure the store animals were in great shape! Needless to say, I'm pretty passionate about pet health! As of now I only have a Syrian hamster living in my apartment, but someday I'd love to once again experience the joy of having my own canine. For yours, I'll be sure to make sure they get a good walk in, or playtime, or just a simple pet and kind words, depending on your needs!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow instructions to a T. My primary questions are always a) how often would you like an update of the visit? b) are others allowed in your home? c) for how long can I step out, if your current needs do not match your care sheet?
Ratings and reviews
Did a great job!
Sami was great with our two cats! She was communicative and always sent photos (which we really appreciate!). Highly recommend!
Sami was incredible! One of my dogs can be quite “extra” because they have SO MUCH energy, and Sami handled them so well! Sometimes I feel really uneasy when I have to leave my dogs for work here and there, but not anymore if Sami is available to keep an eye on them!
Very helpful and great at communicating while I was overseas!
Sami was a fantastic sitter! She had great communication, sent lots of wonderful pictures and updates, and clearly showed genuine care for my cats. I felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would absolutely recommend her!
Sami always takes wonderful care of our cats. We have total peace of mind when we leave!

Schedule
February 2025 update: My husband and I work as a team to fill-in for bookings which may exceed absence times. Chances are I will ask that he join our meet and greet, or ask if he stay with your pet for the few hours I'm away. I'm very open about the details of my schedule. Please just ask! I'm only accepting repeat clients until summer! Please feel free to request with me as I can't change my settings yet- I'll be willing to book for summer ahead of time!

- Please let me know if any special care is needed for your pet. Are they timid? Do certain things make them uneasy? And while I like to think I'm pretty strong, I'm only 130 lbs- something to consider for walking/handling! I'm unable to work with aggressive dogs as I'm not a professional.
