My wife and I met Sam and his lovely wife Rachel when we were looking for someone to watch our beloved fur baby Mikasa (2 year old pitty). We were going back and forth as to how we should arrange care for Mikasa during our two week trip out of the country--naturally we felt a bit of anxiety for leaving our dog in the hands of someone else especially because Mikasa exhibits separation anxiety. From the moment we met Sam we knew we we're blessed to find the right person for our first trip away from Mikasa. He has a genuine love for animals coupled with experience to properly take care of our daughter & home so we felt more than confident that we found a responsible, reliable, and good soul. Leading up to the trip he proactively addressed his concerns by bringing up questions that we didn't even think about; once we departed, we felt that this guy is probably going to take better care of our dog than we would ;) Every day we we're away, we'd get daily photos and updates on Mikasa. We never had to ask what was going in or if she was okay because we were constantly updated which made us enjoy our travel with peace of mind. When we returned back home, our house was cleaner than we left it, Mikasa found a new friend (made us a little jealous) and so did we. I can't say enough good things about Sam and his wife Rachel--they are true professionals and just awesome people. We would highly recommend them!

Sam is the best dog whisperer/dog carer/house sitter/dog walker you will ever find. He is trustworthy, responsible, clean, thoughtful, kind, and has a lot of common sense. If you get the chance to book him, do not hesitate. He has stayed at my home long-term and cared for both my house and dog on many occasions over the last 5 years while I was traveling overseas. He and my dog even have songs that honor each other. Seriously. He has become not only a friend to our dog but a close friend to us as well.

Sam did a great job watching my two dogs while I was away. He was very communicative, sending photos and updates every day, which helped put this anxious dog mom to ease. I would absolutely recommend Sam’s services to others, and will definitely be using him again!

I am very experienced visiting pets in their home. Through housesitting I’ve seen the benefit of pets being in their usual environment, comfortable and happy. I am very conscientious of other people’s space and offer responsible and diligent care.
