I will be working outside of my house by visiting your home, walking and caring for your pets in the comfort of their own space.

Information sam a. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has special needs or any ailments I should know about. I can walk senior/special needs dogs but I do need to know ahead of time to prepare.

A typical day

When you book a dog walk with me, I will arrive at agreed upon time and if it is my first time meeting the dog, I’ll approach him and let him sniff me to get familiar. Then I’ll attach the leash and off we go. If they have any toys they like to play with, I can engage them with the toys during the walk. I always have water available for the dog as well.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sam and I’ve been taking of cats since I was 8 years old, then I got a dog at 14 and started caring for him as well. I have had five total cats, and I own a Yorkshire terrier, whom I walk everyday. Family members and friends have relied on me to pet sit and all were very satisfied with the job I had done. Animals have always made life so much more enjoyable for me and I just want to return the favor by making them happy :)

We haven’t really been given the opportunity to trust others to sit our kitties. Since I was a pet sitter, myself, my expectations for what I wanted in one for my kitties was set in stone. It was important for me to find someone who seemed very personable with kitties as Snow is extremely scared and very shy of newcomers and Amor is in her teenage stages and wrecks havoc. Upon Sam and I’s first meeting, she was very confident in what kitty experience and knowledge she carried through raising her own kitties as well as sitting for others’ pets as well. She followed instructions extremely well and made sure the kitties felt loved. Sam, herself, was very easy to work with and responded promptly always. We would definitely love to have her again!
