I'll talk the talk and walk the dog

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a 1 year old riding on the back of my family's black lab, I have been a dog lover. When I went off to college in Hawaii and finally had a chance to have a dog of my own, I was lucky enough to take in my precious little mutt, Lua, and my roommates took in her 2 brothers, Nui and Koa. We lived on a 10 acre farm, and it became somewhat of a dog park, constantly watching friends dogs when they went home for the holidays or on vacation. My girlfriend and I left Hawaii and lived in Savannah, GA where I worked with the fire department, and on off days acted as a pet sitter for family, friends, and acquaintances. I have cared for toy poodles, pitbulls, greyhounds, and even a Chinese Crested. I have found something to love about every dog, and like to think every dog can find something to love in me!

Sam has watched my 4-year-old greyhound Link for several afternoons and a weekend. Let me put it this way...Link is fast, he has a touch of separation anxiety and is somewhat apprehensive of new folks. Sam was GREAT with Link, and I would not hesitate to ask Sam to care for Link again! He's loving, thoughtful, patient and playful with dogs. I can't think of any qualities I'd want more in someone taking care of my dog. Highly recommend.

Sam is not only incredibly responsible, but he is also very personable and dependable. Hi is a fantastic multi-tasker as well. He is extremely detail oriented, great with people and animals alike. I would trust him to do anything for anyone, and I would trust him to do it well.
