I will love your dog.

Pet care experience

Animals have been a huge part of my life since the beginning. Growing up, there were always dogs, and cats in my household, and I can’t imagine that ever changing. It’s a part of me now, they're an energy I want in my home. At the age of five I started to ride horses, which was when my passion for taking care of animals — not just being around them — manifested. I'm a writer whose education has been a bit unorthodox. For most of my high school career I was in an online program. This allowed me the time to work at a horse farm mostly everyday where I interacted, cared for, and learned how to work with both horses and, oddly enough, a lot of dogs ... Horses and dogs seem to go hand in hand. I currently work from home as a web designer, so my availability is fairly flexible. If you shoot me a text, phone call, or email I'll respond promptly. I am eager to help you out!

Sam did such an awesome job house sitting for us! I was so nervous about leaving my girls for the first time- but our minds were put at ease when Sam was there with our girls. Thank you!

Sam is great with all animals. I’ve watched him with horses, dogs and cats – and all respond well to his presence. He’s a conscientious caretaker and a pleasure to deal with. I would feel confident recommending his pet care services to anyone!

Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet

Firstly, I'd like to know what kind of personality your dog has. This way, I'll have a better idea of how to initially interact with your furry friend. Secondly, having an idea of how best your dog likes to spend her/his time would be fantastic. For instance, my dog mostly sleeps through the days since he's getting older, but when he's awake he's extremely active, and acts more like a puppy than an old man. I have no bias, and no preference when it comes to dog breeds. Love them all.

A typical day

Your dog’s well-being is my top priority. After that, it’s all about them having a darn good time. Whatever ways I can do to ensure both of these happen while I’m watching your pup, I’m on it.
