Highlights
Pet care experience
I love any and all animals!
On top of pet sitting for the past 5 years, I owned a dog and two cats while home with my family and grew up knowing how much care and attention they need. I know that your pets and animals are you family and should be seen and cared for like that. Follow Sami.dog walker on insta for more!

Ratings and reviews
Sami took wonderful care of our senior dog and provided us updates and pictures during our trip. He is happy to be home but probably misses her now, since he got attached after only a few days. Sami is great!
We had such a great experience with Sami! She stayed at our home while watching our golden retriever puppy and took amazing care of both our pup and the house. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for puppy and everything just as we left it. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!
Sami is AMAZING! Promise loved her, and she made our day possible and stress free. She spent time walking and snuggling with him. Exactly what he loves. She followed instructions carefully. She’s a wonderful young lady. I would not hesitate to book her again next time we are in town. Thank you soooo very much Sami💞
Sami and her roommates took such good care of Nola. She snuggled right in and had the best stay. We'll be back when we're in Santa Cruz. Thank you!!!
Sami was great with my dog. She took him on hikes and to the beach. It's obvious she loves dogs.
Sami is an excellent pet sitter! She is comfortable with our large bold labrador, gave her great long walks, provided cozy personal attention with the dog bed in her bedroom, sent us regular updates over our 10 day vacation, and is conscientious about her care, cleanliness, and practical awareness (like skipping a walk in a really rainy day and giving longer walk the next day). Sami’s curiosity and experience in marine biology and her kindness, flexibility, and availability led to wonderful interactions. We look forward to our next vacation, hopefully, with Sami caring for our silly Millie dog.

I am a current student at UCSC studying marine biology. I am very active and part of the club soccer team. I love to be outside, at the beach and just being with animals. My class schedule is mainly online and allows for a very flexible schedule

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I plan to care for your pets differently on how they like to be treated and what type of animal they are. For example for an active dog, I would walk and play with them to make sure that they have a time to use up that energy each day. For a cat who has attachment needs, I would cuddle or just spend more time in the presence of the cat so they feel happy till their owners return. As for any other animal, I respect feeling times to a tee and will make sure to follow any direction that an owner gives me perfectly like they were never gone. I truly just love any and all animals and know they they deserve family treatment.
A typical day
Some fun activities that I offer are long walks that I can either do around the neighborhood or at a park or even the beach. I love to be outside so just chilling or playing ball/frisbee outside is also very enjoyable for me. I also will brush and wash your pets to keep them smelling and looking nice.
