Calm, attentive & patient.

Pet care experience

I am a recent graduate of Northern Arizona University, I achieved a BA in Teaching and Learning. Empathy, patience, compassion and consistency are core values of mine make me who I am. I've grown up with dogs, and raised a full-blooded German Shepherd from a puppy. I am interested in and motivated by dog psychology. I value the experience of the client (K-9 and human) and myself, I want it to be nothing short of awesome for all parties. I bring a calm, assertive energy that will allow for an effective and unique experience for your dog and in turn, provide the highest level of customer service possible to you. I'm known for being over prepared, and enjoy being able to use little tools and tricks I've gathered along the way. Anytime I go somewhere with a dog their safety and well-being are my top priority, particularly bringing plenty of water and seeking the shade as it is crucial in our desert climate. I cannot wait to

Sam is a dog lover through and through. My dogs LOVE him! He has a great amount of experience with dogs of different breeds and is very caring and gentle. Sam is responsible and is one of the very few people I would trust my dogs with! He is the perfect dog-sitter.

Sam is a great person and great with dogs. He helped us raise our puppies and we watched him raise his. Sam is a great dog sitter and I would not hesitate to have him sit our dogs again.

My husband and I were roommates with Sam when we had our Brittany Spaniel puppy and Sam had his German Shepherd puppy. We always felt comfortable leaving our high energy pup with Sam and knew she would be well taken care of. He also was a huge help with house training our dog! I would definitley recommend Sam to anyone looking for a responsible and experienced dog sitter.

Information Sam C. would like to know about your pet

At the meet and greet I would like to know their age and physical exertion level, as well as any special needs they may have. Overall, I like to meet the dog in the moment and go from there! Dogs live in the moment, so I like to as well :)

A typical day

I live very close to local parks and trails, paved & unpaved, hikes and/or bikes are right out the door. All depending on the ability of the dog and comfort level of the owner. I live near Papago park which is a nice sized park with a variety of terrain. Also near by Tempe Town Lake, a great loop for dogs who like bike rides or longer walks. I like taking dogs to the dog park, but only after they've been exercised and relieved of initial energy, i.e. going on a nice long walk. I use dog parks as a primary means of socialization rather than exercise, exercise is a bonus.
