On a mission to pet all the pups!

Pet care experience

I've had pets for as long as I can remember, and find them better company than people more often than not! Recently lost my pooch, so I'd love to get as much doggie time as possible with anyone else's. ❤️

It was so nice to come home after a 10 day vacation to happy puppies and a clean house! Thank you Sam for allowing us to have an amazing vacation knowing our dogs were being well taken care of.

Sam was attentive to my check-ins. She provided regular photos. Our pets looked relaxed and happy. With a 10 yr old dog, I wanted to ensure she was well looked after. Sam did an excellent job. I would book her again.

Sam was a a wonderful sitter for our dog Skittles! Sam stayed in our home with Skittles. Sam replies quickly and effectively, they’re friendly and kind and warm. They provided updates when we asked them to but definitely had a good handle on things. They were tidy and thoughtful and we know Skittles would love to spend more time with Sam is she could! Skittles had some pre-existing medical issues and Sam handled things like a pro administering love and medicine. Thanks Sam!

We recently had the pleasure of having Sam look after our beloved bulldogs, Carlton and Stella, for a night as a trial run before our vacation. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. It’s no small feat to win over our dogs, who are very much like our children to us, but Sam did so with remarkable ease and grace. From the moment Sam stepped into our home, it was evident that she possesses a special kind of magic that animals are drawn to. Her ability to connect with Carlton and Stella was instantaneous, and the peace of mind that brought us cannot be overstated. It was a relief to see how comfortable they were with her, even in such a short period. Sam’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals shone through, making it clear that our dogs were not just being looked after, but were also being cared for, played with, and loved as if they were her own. The updates and photos we received further reassured us that we had made the right choice. We are already looking forward to working with Sam again and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re seeking someone who will treat your pets with all the love, attention, and care they deserve, look no further than Sam. Our vacation will undoubtedly be more enjoyable knowing our furry family members are in the best hands possible. Thank you, Sam, for giving us the gift of peace of mind and for taking such wonderful care of Carlton and Stella. You’ve truly set a new standard for pet care, and we are so excited to have you as part of our extended family

I can't take pets into my home as of right now, but I am an exceptionally clean person who will take great care of your space if I'm in it. And obviously your pets too! I will keep them to your schedule and play and cuddle with them as much as they'll let me. I require meet and greets with all new clients, as I will not do drop ins or walks with dogs I have not met prior to the bookings. It is a safety issue, those dogs won't know me and I'd be a stranger invading their territory.

Information Sam C. would like to know about your pet

Personally I like to know the highlights of their personality ahead of time. Are they cuddly? Standoffish? Slightly aggressive? Stubborn? Do they have special needs or are there very specific things I have to do to maintain their happiness? Also medications, food sensitivities/allergies, treat allowance, are they good with kids or strangers or should I avoid anyone during walks? Are there house rules like staying off furniture or wiping paws when coming inside? Are they fully house trained and if they have accidents, where are cleaning supplies? Sounds like a lot, but all pretty necessary knowledge in my opinion.

A typical day

I love to be someone your pets can trust, and will happily do their favourite things with them! I'll stick to their diets and schedules, and play with them until they pass out. I usually walk around their neighbourhoods so they're somewhere they know, and tend to avoid dog parks because they can be risky with possible aggressive dogs. The only reason I wouldn't walk them would be if it was too hot or too cold! And in those cases, play inside would be the route I'd go. =]
