My "day job" offers a relatively flexible schedule; for the time being, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and from my office in the city on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Those are the only three days I'm usually not able to drop in on yout pet in the middle of the day, but I'm still happy to visit them before or after the usual work day on those days, and I'm also happy to house-sit during the week. For house-sitting, I do generally come and go a lot (for errands, other clients, meetings, workouts at the gym, etc), so if you need a carer who is present at your home for most of the sit, I may not be the right one for you. However, I have done constant care bookings before, so I'm happy to talk about it and see if my schedule during your dates will have room for your constant care booking.

Happy to feed, walk, water, entertain, medicate, snuggle, and love on your creatures in your home. We have our own kitty, so while I can't take or board your fur babes into our home, I'm able to visit your pets multiple times a day if needed.

Information Sammi M. would like to know about your pet

If I'm caring for your pets, amd especially if I'm staying at your home overnight, I always ask lots of questions, including: -Your pet's walk, food, water, and poop schedule -How long your pet likes to be walked -Commands they know -How they do with other pets -Any medication they might need

A typical day

Happy to go on lots of long dog walks, hang out at a dog park, or take your pup out to play catch or swim or go on a jog. Also, naps.

Pet care experience

I've had pets of my own since I was about 13, and I love pretty much all animals. Big fan of (and will happily care for) dogs, cats, snakes, birds, turtles, frogs, lizards, guinea pigs, mice, rats, etc etc. Once, two (2) different owls decided--independently of one another--that my head looked like a great place to hang out and perched on top of it for the better part of several hours. A cockatoo agreed with them and did the same. Another time, a little sparrow let me pick him up and give him some chin scritches. And once, a wild Icelandic pony decided he loved me and tried to follow me home. So, yeah. I'm basically Snow White.

It was love at first sight for Logan the cat. He responded affectionately from the first moment. Sammi gave him daily TLC. Even his favorite toys took second place to cuddling with Sammi. It gave me great peace of mind, knowing that Logan was with such a loving and professional caregiver.

Our kitty absolutely adores Sammi! It is so wonderful to know he is in safe hands while we are traveling. We never have to worry about a thing.
