Pet care experience
PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE. I work on a sliding scale because I don't want cost to lock you out of getting quality pet care. I'm willing to work with you to find something in both of our budgets. Rover doesn't provide as much nuance as I would like so I'm happy to set a custom amount through the app. I have had and helped raise over 30 kittens over my lifetime and I've always had at least one cat in my household. I currently have four. 😅 I've had and taken care of my own dogs, fish, chinchillas, hamsters, snakes, lizards, and a even a chicken.
Reviews
Very consistent with photos and updates. Even when my dog didn’t want to walk (short legs), Sam took the time to just spend time with her and socialize.
Sam is fantastic with my dogs. In fact my little one who seems to hate people will run and play with Sam. They love going on walks with her. Sam is always punctual and always provides updates when she’s on her way or going to be a little late.
Sam is communicative and reliable! Will definitely be using their services again!
Sam was prompt responding to messages, and took great care of our pup! They took good care to follow our instructions for getting in and out of our home and sent photos from walks and visits.

Safety, trust & environment
I have no issues cleaning up after your cats, dogs, or other furry or scaly friends. I can feed them, walk them, and give medications as needed. I'll do just about anything to help keep your babies happy and healthy.
Information Sam C. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog is reactive to other dogs, people, small children, or anything that might lead to stress in their walk or interactions. If you have cats, I love to know if they're social or like to hide so I know if I should say hi or give them their space. For reptiles, amphibians, and other pets I would just need general information about feeding and misting schedules. For all pets, what they eat and where it's stored and general care information is appreciated.
A typical day
I try to focus most of my time and energy into walks and drop-ins during the day. I'll take overnight bookings but they require a lot more planning on my end. I try to keep all of my bookings for a day relatively close together so I spend less time traveling and more time with your pets. I will keep your pets company, take them on walks, make sure they're fed and have fresh water, clean up after them, and whatever else needs to be done such as giving medication. If there's any parks that your dog likes to go to, I love taking your furry friend there or anywhere else they need to go.

Availability
My schedule is fairly open at the moment. I only have one regular walk most week days. I plan my schedule around my various bookings for the day. I'm always ready and available to work with you and your schedule. I often take messages in the morning for same day bookings.
