Safety, trust & environment

I have a small apartment myself in a big building that is pet friendly. When on walks I always make sure your pet is leashed so I ensure their safety. I am very attentive to our surroundings and will treat your pet as one of my own!

Pet care experience

My lifelong love for animals as I have been surrounded by pets since I was a kid, sets me apart. Friends often entrust their pets to me due to my natural affinity with animals. One memorable experience while dog sitting involved Penny tricking me into an impromptu rain-soaked playtime, highlighting my ability to create enjoyable moments for pets and myself.

Sam was very helpful for a last minute walk! I am so grateful for him and he took great care of my dog.

Sam is a good family friend who loves my dog Chloe as if she is his own. Chloe is an anxious dog who is stand off-ish to men, but has fallen in love with Sam. He always makes sure to greet her at the door and let’s her get comfortable (if she’s lucky, sometimes he even brings his own treats). Once she recognizes his scent, they are off playing with toys or cuddling up on the couch. Sam shows my dog the attention and love she deserves. I highly recommend him to care for your pet!

Sam has been a wonderful caregiver to my two cats when I have been out of town. He showers them with love and they get so excited when they see him! I am so glad to have someone that I can confidently trust will give my fur babies the best care when I am away from them!
