Availability

Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention they need. Since I have had dogs and cats throughout my life, caring for pets already feels like a natural part of my routine.

About Sam R.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely so their pet can stay comfortable with their normal routine. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, basic cleanup, and giving them attention and care while their owner is away. I also make sure the home is respected and kept clean. If caring for pets in my own home, I would focus on providing a safe, clean, and comfortable space where they can relax. I would make sure they get enough exercise, attention, and care based on their individual needs and personality.

Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it is important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical conditions or medications. I would also want to know about their personality, energy level, comfort around other animals or people, and any behaviours to watch for. I also like to know the owner’s preferences so I can keep the pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I would make sure pets have a fun and comfortable experience by doing activities that match their personality and energy level. For dogs, this could include walks, playing fetch, exploring safe outdoor areas, practicing basic commands, or just relaxing together. For cats, I would spend time playing with toys, giving attention if they enjoy it, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I always adjust activities based on what the pet enjoys and what the owner prefers.

Great with pets

Pet care experience

I have had numerous dogs and cats throughout my life, so I am very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care.
