I adore dogs but with my busy lifestyle, ownership is not in the cards for me. I believe they are a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly and I honor that by recognizing the limitations in my life. But that's where you come in! I get my snugs, and you get someone who will care for your fur baby as their own fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m currently caring for animals in their home. As a military veteran, I understand how stressful it can be to travel often and worry about my little friends at home. Consistency and trust are deeply rooted in the work I do.

Information Sam C. would like to know about your pet

If a dog cannot be left alone during typical working hours, I may enlist my trusted partner who has been working with me to care for animals for 3 years. In the event that she and I will be working together, you will meet her as well. Expect a lot of questions from me if you’re a new client, I want to make sure your pal has a great time with me!

A typical day

I enjoy being active so let’s go on some walkies! For new dogs, I may not be too keen on a dog park until I know their demeanor but we will certainly have leashed adventures around the neighborhood. I’m also down for a chill pup. Snugs at the ready!

Pet care experience

I’m a full-time higher education professional with years of experience in positions requiring trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I provide calm, reliable care while keeping pets in their familiar environment. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, taking care of only regular clients, but I’m back on the hunt for new furry friends! Please note that I did change my first name legally a few years back which you may observe in the reviews.

Sam was a wonderful sitter for our big anxious pup, Fiddle, when we went out of town a few weeks ago; they were prompt, easy to communicate with, and asked very good questions that made us feel very confident leaving Fiddle in their care. We got regular pictures and updates of the two of them and I think it was the first time Fiddle hasn't immediately bee-lined for the car when we came to pick him up! We will definitely ask Sam to dog-sit again in the future!
