Hello!
My name is Sam, I'm a veterinary technician and I've been working with animals for the past 10 years. I started out as a kennel attendant but got hired as a vet tech during my first year in college in 2017.
I've had my own pet sitting gig for a while but I'm looking to add some more kiddos to the pack.
