Dog's Best Friend

Pet care experience

Grew up with dogs my whole life and have a lot of experience with pet care. Currently live in a condo that has a nice open field and trails for walking. Right across the street from a dog park so they can run or play fetch. Able to follow any meal plans, dietary requirements, or exercise routines needed. Only watch one dog at a time so your dog will get all the attention and will watch two if they are both the same owner. Gone during the day but usually home early afternoon and do have someone who can let them outside mid-day. Your dog can be themselves here and I will do my best to make any accommodations that are needed for them. Hope to see you soon.

This is less of a review and more a warning. DO NOT LET SAM WATCH YOUR DOG. We left instructions to give our dog medication for his dry skin in addition to several treats and a new bully stick. We let Sam know the day we'd be returning from our vacation. Sam said he was free that day and any time would be fine to pick up our dog. That day comes and we can't get ahold of Sam. We waited for nearly two hours outside his home. After leaving voicemails with him and his mom (who's number he'd given us), some random kids finally came outside the apartment complex with our dog and supplies. They told us that Sam was taking a nap. After telling them how upset we were, we left and went home. We opened the bag of supplies we'd given Sam, none of the anti-itch medication had been used and the treats hadn't been touched. We took our dog for a walk and right away he peed and had a terrible poop, clearly Sam hadn't taken him outside recently. We are very upset with Sam as he clearly is a liar and used our dog to make a few quick bucks.

Sam has grown up with dogs and enjoys all types. He takes each job of caring for a pet very seriously and is kind & gentle towards them. All dogs love being around Sam, he is a faithful friend and companion and does a great job with all their needs (food, fresh water & exercise)! Would highly recommend Sam!

Sam has had dogs most of his life growing up. He really enjoys them and likes to play with them. Whenever anybody comes over with a dog, he always enjoys playing with them. I don't think that he has ever met a dog that he didn't like. Whenever we go away for an extended period, he is always willing to watch our dog. He also takes his sisters dog when she needs a sitter for it. I would never hesitate to let him take care of my pet.

Sam has taken care of my two dogs and cat on several occasions and there have never been any issues. One of my dogs has food aggression, so it's a more difficult process to feed them, but he handled it as instructed, without any incidents. All of the animals enjoy being around him, and I would definitely have Sam watch them again in the future.
