I will probably die for your pets🥹

Pet care experience

I’ve had pet turtles, parakeets, dogs, cats, various fish, rabbits, frogs, and pet crabs. All abandoned or sick animals never bought!! I had pets till I got to college and onwards. I have pet sit since I was very young even throughout college for some friends. I’m really patient with all sorts of pets from high energy zoomies to anxious babies. My schedule is open unless I reach out to you! I noticed a lot of people on here don’t have availability right away but I can! (Usually) Let your pet decide!! If your pet doesn’t like me then feel free to find other caregivers. I will not take any offense to it! They need to feel comfortable to begin with. It has not happened yet however :)

Sam was fantastic – he took excellent care of my cat on multiple occasions (drop-in visits and overnight house sitting) when I had to travel out of town. I really appreciated how reliable/responsive Sam has been every single time, and would not hesitate to trust him with my cat again the future. Thank you Sam!

When I had to graduate Sam took care of my dog Venus. He was an excellent caregiver. I was so worried because Venus is such a shy girl but Sam was able to make her feel comfortable and happy. I would let him take care of Venus anytime!! He also makes sure to pay attention to my pet's needs!

Sam is a responsible and attentive pet caregiver. He is very good with anxious pets (both cats and dogs) and gives updates on how your pets are feeling/behaving if you ask. I had to travel for vacation a while back and had to leave my two cats and my dog home. I was so nervous because one of my cats and my dog have anxiety, and don’t take well to strangers. To my surprise, Sam was so well prepared to take care of them. My other cat has digestive issues, so he made sure that my cat wasn’t just eating the same food as my other cat (usually other pet sitters give both animals the same food from the same bag, even if you tell them)! He took such great care of my three babies! I would hire Sam again If I were still living in the same area! I definitely recommend him to take good care of your babies!

Safety, trust & environment

Currently there are no pets where I am but this is why I am coming back on here so I care for them again!! In terms of care for pets at my clients homes, it varies by each home. Some pets are shy and need to be approached in an non-erratic manner in terms of sounds and movement while others are full of energy and need a high energy person to keep them distracted.

Information Sam C. would like to know about your pet

If there are any habits I should be aware of that would be great to know! (If your pet has any fears to sounds or to other animals)

A typical day

I’ll do as the owner wants/needs. I know that the owners know best what their child needs/wants. I live right next to a dog park so I can take your dog there whenever. If you want to make sure your dog is alone at the park (if your dog doesn’t like to play with other dogs) I can arrange that too. (I live very close to it)
