Pet Sitter in Lexington, Kentucky

I have been pet sitting since 2010, and have experience caring for a variety of different animals of all ages. I live with three wonderful dogs who I compete with in dog sports, as well as two cats. I have also owned dairy cattle and horses, and have a wealth of experience working with small pets as well as different types of livestock. My first love is animals, and I treat my client's pets as though they were my own. I can give medications, feed any kind of diet (raw included), and do minor grooming while dogs are in my care. I have also been trained in pet first aid and CPR, and have experience administering minor medical attention in the event of an emergency. I can provide references for both farm and pet sitting upon request. Overnight visits are available, and with farm visits I can include late night trips out to the barn to check on everything, refill water, etc. All species of livestock are welcome for farm sitting, and farm trips can be tailored to the individual needs of you and your animals, on both short and long term periods. Pet sitting is available for dogs, cats, pocket pets, reptiles and amphibians, birds, and fish (fresh or saltwater). Both services include bringing in mail, taking out trashcans, and watering plants.I have worked with a vast range of breeds, ages and sizes of dogs. From very young puppies to 14 year old seniors, chihuahuas to great pyrenees, high energy pups to couch potatoes, they all rock! I can also tailor my sitting to account for any medical needs, behavioral needs, or any other unique need that your dog has. "Sam is the one person responsible for our family adopting Oliver. She has been there when we needed a loving responsible sitter. Sam's knowledge of dog behavior and their need for physical exercise or cuddling makes our family confident when we leave Oliver in Sam's care." --Nanette B.
