Pet care experience

Treating your pets like family🐾

Animals have been a big part of my life for over 20 years. I currently have two dogs that I raised from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

During walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safety by using secure leashing practices, monitoring the environment, and making sure pets have fresh water and plenty of attention. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and enjoyable while treating every pet like my own.

We had an excellent experience with Sam and would happily book with him again. From the start, he was professional, responsive, and clearly cared about our dog’s well-being. He provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away.

I can’t recommend Sam enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. He treated my dog like they were his own and always made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. I appreciated the regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I would absolutely trust Sam again to watch my pups!

Before caring for a pet, I like to know anything that helps me keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, allergies, and any medical concerns. I also like to understand their personality—whether they’re shy, energetic, anxious, reactive around other animals, or have specific triggers. Knowing their favorite toys, treats, commands, and comfort habits helps me provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them.
