Pet care experience

Dog's best friend

I've been dog sitting & dog walking for over 11 years now, and I grew up alongside my family's several amazing dogs. I have always gotten along with dogs, and I pride myself on my ability to connect with a large range of breeds and sizes, from small mixed breeds all the way up to gigantic full breeds, and everything in between. As a theater actor, I work every day on becoming better at communication with my scene partners and directors, which I have found translates well into my interactions with dogs, as both require an unspoken trust to create a strong and healthy relationship. I guarantee your dog will get my full attention, lots of love, and you can expect to receive photo updates every time they are in my care!

Safety, trust & environment

I always try to make pets feel comfortable and keep things as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it.

Sam is the absolute best. Yet another great time for Kobe. Sam is so communicative and makes you feel so comfortable that your dog will be treated so well. We love Sam!

Sam is the best. We are repeat clients and our senior pup loves staying with him.

Sam was an amazing host for Indie while I went away for a few days! He came home happy and healthy, and very tired from all the fun he had. Grateful for all the pictures and updates throughout my trip too!

Schedule

I work from home and generally have a flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to fit into my day. While I do balance other work and commitments, I’m often able to accommodate walks and drop-ins throughout the day, sometimes even on short notice!

Sam can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’d love to know anything that might help me keep your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine! Things like feeding and walk schedules, medications, quirks, favorite activities, triggers, how they are with other animals or people, and anything else you think makes them uniquely them!
