“If you're ever in need of somebody to watch your dog in the Adirondacks, it doesn't get any better than Glenn and Cedar. Glenn's quick response to my last minute boarding request, and careful attention to my dog while I was indisposed, allowed me a weekend of memories with my furry friend that I wouldn't have been able to achieve otherwise. Thanks again Glenn!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. As you might have noticed from my photos I love all types of critters and I've never met an animal I didn't like. From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way! I am an experienced sitter and have been watching, walking, and caring for pets of friends, family, and clients for well over a decade. I am a responsible & professional adult with many positive reviews so you can rest assured your baby will be in capable hands. I am very familiar with Rover and have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines quickly. I treat all pets I care for like my own and will be more than happy to let them share my personal space while they wait for you to come home! I also love to take photos of animals so your pet will be my model on our walks. :) While I hold a full time day job as an Outdoor Educator for a local nonprofit, I am looking to supplement my income by filling some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species and love meeting new people. I am happy to work with locals and visitors alike and can meet folks wherever works best for you & your pet whether that be your home, local parks/hiking trails, rentals, or restaurants. So if you're in the Tri-Lake area I'd love to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions - thank you for checking out my profile and considering me for your pet sitting needs! 🐸 I work full time for a nonprofit in the High Peaks with a varying schedule between 5am and 7 pm Wednesday - Sunday. I will often available for walks and drop ins visits during evening hours (mostly between 4pm and 11pm) with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. For overnight sitting I am available for 2 days a week maximum on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I have some flexibility so if you think we would be a good fit go ahead and send me a message and we might be able to work something out. Providing a trustworthy & relaxed experience is very important to me. As a pet parent myself I know how hard it is to leave your baby in the care of a stranger so I want to make sure I do what I can to ease any anxieties and make this a chill process you and your pet. To make sure this goal is met I ask for open communication about pet behaviors and clear expectations about the care I will provide. I have a lot of experience working and staying in other people's homes and know how to respect your space like it is my own. If any pet accidents occur under my watch I will not hesitate to clean them up in a timely manner and I always make sure I leave a home exactly as I found it. To keep your pets & belongings safe I always double check locks and make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave. I have experience with escape artist pups & cats so I am good about making sure I open and close with care. I am serious about keeping your pets safe and providing a professional experience whether I am staying over night or just stopping. As mentioned in my bio I have over a decade of professional experience working with families to provide in home pet and child care so you can trust that your pet and house are in safe hands.

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”
