Sam can care for
Availability
This is my full time job so I work seven days a week with no start or end time to my day. With that, I need a little flexibility in scheduling but I know Rover makes you select an exact time, but giving me a window of time is super appreciated! I have 1 to 4 regulars, depending on the day (and would love to add a couple more) but still have lots of space in my schedule to see your pets too! I can occasionally take messages in the morning for same day bookings but I usually have everything planned out a week in advance. I'll work with you to make sure we find something that works in your pets' schedule since my wonderful regulars award me some flexibility too. I prefer not to do leash hand-offs so I don't have to coordinate so I can maintain my flexibility incase a dog is walking slower, or I hit traffic.

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 occasionally 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.

Pet care experience
CPR Certified as of 03/29/2025 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
Sam was flexible for us when we needed somewhat irregular midday walks over the last few weeks. Appreciate the help!
Sam was terrific. Not threatened by my protective dog at all. She was patient and calm and Toby eventually relaxed.
We reached out to Sam to watch over our cat, Mocha, a bit last-minute, and she was very accommodating to make it work despite her busy schedule. Even though our cat can be very shy with new faces, Sam was very quickly able to gain her trust. I felt at ease throughout my trip knowing Mocha was in good hands, alongside the pictures Sam sent during her drop-in visits. We’ll definitely be booking with Sam again in the future!
Great visits as usual! We always know Sebastian will be well taken care of with Sam.
