Pet care experience

Every pet needs a Grandma!

My name is Samm, but lots of people call me Grandma Samm; some of them are even related to me, and most, but not all, are human! I have been a long time animal lover and staunch supporter of Rescues, Seniors and Special Needs dogs. I will treat your dog as my Grand-dog, lavishing love and attention (and treats!) as s/he will tolerate and you direct. I am available through the week and on weekends, and have experience and references as an honest and trustworthy dog and house sitter. I will communicate with you through text and photos while you are away so that you know your dog is having a great time while missing you. I am experienced with all breeds, all sizes and all temperaments. I take my cues from the dog and will adapt to the personality of the dog, and accommodate the dog's needs per your directions.

Samm is great! She did a an awesome job with our two dogs and cat. Even with the huge snowstorm that happened while she was here! Samm is a great judge of animal character and we already have her on the books for several more stays!

Grandma Samm did a great job with our pup, Caroline. We enjoyed her daily updates and looked forward to hearing how she was doing while we were away. She was very contentious with our home. She watered my plants, cleaned up, took out the trash, and made sure we came back to a clean home and a happy pup. We trusted her and loved her silly personality. We would definitely hire Samm again! <3

I would like to meet your dog with you, so that s/he will be comfortable with me as we begin a relationship. I prefer detailed instructions as to feeding schedules, treats, exercise needs, medications, and any special needs your pet may have.
