About: As a recent college graduate working remotely from home, I’m looking for a dog fix while also helping those who need a break! I’ve grown up with a Chocolate Lab and a Rat Terrier which gave me various experience with little dogs and big dogs. Unfortunately they are not with us anymore which made me want to pick this up on the side! Remote every week day, except Wednesdays. Will be able to give care at any point in day/night except for my 30 minute meetings 3x per week. I have a big room in my office where the dog can play while I work, they will never be alone. The room has lots of natural sunlight and leads into a big backyard!
About: I've grown up with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From being the go-to dog walker in my neighborhood to watching friends’ pets while they’re away, I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to sweet senior dogs. I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well looked after. I work remotely during the summer, so my schedule is super flexible. That means I can easily fit walks, check-ins, or overnight stays into my day and give your pet plenty of attention. My home is pet-friendly, with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I also have a laid-back senior dog who gets along great with other dogs.
About: *Martha’s Vineyard Only* I have had pets of all kinds for as far back as I can remember. I currently have a very loving, sweet, energetic and playful dog of my own, Lola. She is 10 years old and enjoys playing with new friends! I am knowledgable and caring and will provide your dog with lots of love and care! I am comfortable caring for dogs of any size and breed as well as administering medication (oral, injections, eye and ear drops and topicals). I currently work part time from home so I am flexible and available throughout the day to tend to and care for pets in my care I have a fenced in yard, but don’t leave dogs unattended in the yard. I have a dog of my own to provide your dog with companionship and a playmate while they stay with us! A crate is not required but I’m happy to set yours up if it makes your dog comfortable. I can provide care for potty trained dogs, though I am comfortable with and have experience with senior dogs who require diapers.
About: Pet care has always been a part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fish—from puppies and kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve experienced every stage of an animal’s life, so I know how to give the right kind of care, whether that means playtime, training support, or simply quiet companionship. What makes my service unique is that it’s a team effort—my girlfriend, Laurel, and I work together to provide care. She’s just as passionate and experienced with animals, so your pet gets the attention of two loving and responsible sitters. We love going on walks in the woods and beach right next to our house, keeping pets active and happy, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. My girlfriend is also free for the summer, so between the two of us, your pet will have round-the-clock care and company. We truly enjoy being around animals—walks, playtime, chilling, we love to do it all! Caring for pets isn’t something we squeeze into our day—it is our day, and we love every minute of it! In our home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and safe. We live in a large house with lots of room to play and relax, and we also have a fenced-in area in the yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time securely. Whether it’s indoor cuddles or supervised play outside, we make sure pets get a great mix of exercise, attention, and rest. We keep a calm, pet-friendly environment and follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions. Our goal is to make them feel right at home, whether they’re staying with us or we’re visiting them in theirs.
“Sam and his wife took incredible care of our dog - he is an anxious rescue who loves exercise. Sam took him on long walks every day and was very responsive to texts. I could tell when we picked up our dog that he had a mini vacation of his own. I highly recommend him!!”

He’s the kind of person who goes out of his way to make sure others (including pets!) feel comfortable and cared for.
