Sam is completely reliable. He wrote informative and lengthy descriptions of each walk. He also clearly cared a lot about our dog’s happiness. We have used Sam before and would use him again.

Sam did a wonderful job watching our two dogs while we were away on vacation. The dogs are very different - one 15 years old with health concerns and the other 7 years old with leash aggression issues. He was able to handle the needs of both dogs without any difficulty and they both truly took to him. He did a great job of sending us updates and even a few photos to show us how the two were doing. We highly recommend Sam for your pet sitting needs.
