Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs, cats, parrots, and tortoises of all sizes since I was 8. I've house sat for all kinds of pets and kept an excellent track record with all of my clients.
Reviews
Sam house and pet sat for us when our regular dog sitter was no longer available. We have one pup who is very skittish and we have not had good luck leaving her. She loved Sam immediately! Sam sent us pictures of daily walks, kept our home beautifully, and baked us cookies on our return. I cannot recommend him enough. Fabulous!
such a good communicator; above and beyond responsible and receptive for my idiosyncratic elderly hound, apartment, and requests. 10/10 would book again and recommend.
We could not have asked for a better housesitter than Sam! So generous, attentive and responsive to the flora and fauna in his care while we were away.
Sam has been an absolute blessing for our furry friend! His loving care, attention to detail, and trustworthy nature make him the perfect dog sitter. We can always count on Sam to provide a safe and happy environment. Highly recommended!

Information Sam G. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a dog, I find it crucial to understand their unique traits and needs. This includes their dietary restrictions, medical history, exercise regimen, behavioral tendencies, and any specific training commands they respond to. I also appreciate knowing their likes, dislikes, and any quirks or fears to ensure a comfortable, stress-free environment. This holistic understanding aids me in offering personalized, loving care that aligns perfectly with their usual routines and preferences.
A typical day
I ensure a fun-filled day for all pooches I look after. Activities range from playful fetch games to agility training exercises that keep their minds stimulated. Walks are never boring as I frequent lush local parks and the picturesque beaches of the Bay area, ensuring variety in the environment and plenty of opportunities for socialization. Each day is tailored to the dog's energy levels and preferences, making their stay enjoyable and exciting.

Availability
I work remotely and make my own hours, so my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate a variety of client needs. I prefer weekdays to weekends for house sitting, as I enjoy overnight camping trips.
