Safety, trust & environment

Safety and communication are top priorities for me. I love doing meet & greets so I can learn your pet’s routine, personality, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I follow your home guidelines, provide photo updates during visits, and ensure your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved every time.

Information Sam H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, favorite treats/toys, and any special instructions. I bring my own poop bags — you provide leash & collar. If your pet has medication, quirks, or anxiety triggers, just tell me early so I can make them comfortable and happy. 😊

A typical day

Every pet has their own personality, and I love meeting them where they are! Some pups want a good walk and sniff adventure, others prefer fetch, treats, or cuddle time on the couch. We’ll follow their routine — potty break, fresh water, playtime, enrichment, and lots of love. I can reinforce training cues, practice leash manners, or just make sure they get exercise and attention while you’re away. 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Sam — a reliable pet caregiver with 116+ 5⭐ reviews, flexible scheduling, and a big heart for animals! I’ve been a dog walker + drop-in sitter for about 2 years, and pets bond to me quickly. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of attention to safety. 🐾 What I offer: • Dog walking (short + long walks available) • Drop-in visits (feeding, potty breaks, playtime) • Medication given if needed • Puppy care + senior pet patience • Updates + photos every visit 📸 • Last-minute/same-day bookings welcome I love meet-and-greets, but I’m also happy to step in when you need help quickly. My goal is for you to travel or work stress-free, knowing your fur baby is safe, loved, and entertained. Experience: I’ve raised and owned 3 dogs over the years and currently share life with 3 hilarious cats who think they're dogs. Animals have been a major source of joy my whole life — caring for them feels natural, not like work. 💛 A typical visit/walk: We’ll get movement, sniff breaks, playtime, cuddles, fresh water, treats (if allowed!), and mental stimulation. I can reinforce training methods you’re working on too. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first — tell me their quirks, favorite toys, and any rules you’d like followed. I’m here to make your baby feel safe and happy while you’re away. 🐶 Let’s schedule a meet + greet — I’d love to care for your furry family member!

Sam cared for our cat Pookie while my wife and I were on vacation. She shared comprehensive updates every day to show that food, water, and litter were taken care of. Our primary concern while away was that Pookie would be lonely. Sam went above and beyond making sure that Pookie was played with and loved on. The hardest part of going on vacation is having to leave Pookie at home, but Sam’s attentiveness and dedication allowed us to have the peace of mind that Pookie was well cared for while we were away!

One of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. Always very responsive, works well with our cats, and helps clean up if the cats makes a mess. We recommend Sam to anyone who has a pet.
