Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for most of my life. I grew up with boxer dogs and a chihuahua. I’ve taken care of small and large dogs, young and energetic ones, as well as elders with less energy. I share custody of my family dog with my parents, but most of the time i have a dog-free home! Feel free to ask if you have a non-friendly dog and i can let you know if I have mine or not! I know pet owners have all sorts of commitments and am happy to offer early and late hours, I have had stays starting as early as 5am, as well as ones ending as late as midnight! Let me know your needs and we can discuss. I have experience with rescue dogs, am an approved foster through ACCT Philly, and have experience with anxious dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dog-selective dogs, and dogs with medical needs!

Sam was great! I needed someone to feed my cat super last minute, and I felt so secure receiving updates and pictures both days.

Sam was great with my cat Riku! I needed someone to drop on on short notice and Sam was very responsive & communicative. Would definitely recommend.

Information Sam H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, fears and anxieties, etc. I also would love to know if your dog(s) has any experience around cats! Not a dealbreaker but it’s helpful to know ahead of time so I can make sure everyone is safe for the stay :)

A typical day

I have experience with dogs of all energy levels. If they just want to lay down and watch doggy TV, we can do that. I have dog puzzles to fill with treats and tons of toys. Whether we’re throwing a ball in the backyard or heading to the park, I’m happy to help your pup get their exercise in!
