An experience to wag about!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for the fuzzy friends of my friends and neighbors for 7 years would love to expand my client base. I have cared for dogs in my home and the dog's home. I've raised wiggly puppies and worked with dog trainers. As a bit of a puppy myself, I play well with others and feel very connected to dogs. I've even found lost dogs and returned them to their joyful owners! As an elf like free-form, fun-loving creature, I have always gotten well with dogs. I enjoy going for walks as much as the dogs. If the dog is down and willing to break out into a run for the sheer doggy joy of it, I am down, too (in a safe responsible adult like way)! I have flexible hours (day or night) am I'm happy to work around your schedule to ensure your dog's comfort. Together we can provide a reliable daily schedule to be there for your doggy pals.

I've known Sam for many years and would highly recommend him. He's a friendly, responsible individual who's calm temperament and experience with animals makes him ideal to care for your pet as if it was his own. Trustworthy and reliable!

Sam has watched our dogs on several occasions, typically overnight visits. He's punctual, trustworthy, and caring, which is reflected in the stellar service he has always provided our family.

Information Sam M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to relate to your pup in a way that is familiar to them. I would like to know how your dog likes to be treated! Any quirks? Should I not scratch them behind the ears? Do they have a phobia of paper bags? Please let me know any particulars about medicines, allergies, physical concerns, feeding times, diet, and energy level. If I'm caring for your dog at my apartment, there are stairs to climb. Please let me know if they have difficulty with their knees or hips. I would definitely like to know their favorite toy and treat! I am a friend to all dogs and do not discriminate by breed.

A typical day

With or without a puppy friend, I like to walk 3 or more miles every day. I'm a big fan of walking through the Laurelhurst Park, playing games of catch, fetch, laying in the grass or (if your pooch is a bit of a couch potato) just enjoying time relaxing inside.
