I'll play with your dog all day

Pet care experience

I'm a work-at-home researcher, so I have a lot of flexibility for walking and playing with your dog! I'm usually home all day minus meals and a few hours some nights. I've had two Cairn Terriers (male and female) in the past. I have experience with ill dogs (pills / IV) as well as anxious dogs (storms, loud noises, etc). I will have at most 1 dog in my care at a time, so your doggo will get my 100% attention. (An exception is made if you have 2 smaller dogs!) I live in a 1BR-1BA apt which is large enough for 1-2 small/medium dogs. Also, I’m just a few blocks away from a dog park to get exercise! Looking forward to loving your pupper!

Sam absolutely saved us when we needed a sitter last minute on Christmas Day! He took such great care of Kyla and made her feel loved and a little less lonely with her owners out of town. He also responded right away whenever we needed him, would definitely recommend Sam!

Seems like my dog Louie has a new human friend! His stay was about 7 days, while I was out of the country on vacation and by the looks of all the photos that Sam sent me, Louie seemed right at home. Lots of message and photos, and a great response time, kept my mind at ease while I was away. l would recommend Sam to anyone needing an affordable pet sitter in the city. Thank you so much Sam! -Louie+Liane

Sam was a real life saver for me. My little Morkie is diabetic and needs regular shots, twice a day. Not every sitter is able to manage that task. Sam met with me and Samson the week before I had to be away for a week. It was clear that he is calm and gentle with dogs to make a connection. He took pictures through the week and sent me updates about Samson's day and how he was managing while I was away. Sam is very impressive and I now know I have someone to turn to if I need to be away again. Thanks Sam! You have made my life a lot easier, and Samson's life happier.

Sam was really awesome with our pup! It was our dog's first time staying in a new environment without us. Sam was patient and very understanding. When our dog showed discomfort, Sam was quick to keep him busy and find creative solutions for calming him. I'm really appreciative of Sam's flexibility, kindness, and patience. We would definitely leave our pup in Sam's care again!
