Proud dog dad—serious about caring

Pet care experience

I understand and empathize with animals easily, and am comfortable with a wide range of sizes and temperaments. As a 9-year vegetarian, I believe that everyone's quality of life is important, regardless of which species they belong to. I've taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals for my neighbors, coworkers, & friends since I was a child. I've also had dogs and other pets almost continuously since I was 5 years-old, with a serious love for animals as far back as my memory goes.

Sam stayed with Riley over the July 4th weekend. He gave us updates and Riley was happy and content when we got home. We would definitely book with him again. Thanks Sam!

Sam is wonderful! He's reliable, kind, gentle with animals and very responsible. He loves dog and is a dog dad himself. I'd highly recommend his services!

Sam is your pets best friend. He loves and respects animals and we've witnessed him caring for pets in a trustworthy and responsible way. He would be sure to take care of your pet in the manner you'd expect.

Safety, trust & environment

I can stay with your pet(s) & work from your home. I'm happy to take your pet out, go for a walk, play with them, or just give them attention. :) I'm both attentive and careful, so I will notice if anything seems wrong, and I will interact with your pet(s) as gently as necessary. Also, I am sensitive to whether they feel safe and comfortable, and will make every effort to make sure that they do. I will treat your pet(s) with the same level of care that I treat my own (tiny) dog, Miso.

Information Sam S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know a bit about your dog's personality. Are they shy or anxious? Are they very outgoing? Do they need a lot of exercise? And of course I'd like to know about their daily routines and favorite activities. Definitely let me know, of course, if there are any medical issues I should be aware of.

A typical day

I work from home as a graduate student and teacher, so I have a very flexible schedule to provide your pet with all the attention they need. I always make sure your pet is getting enough stimulation, so we play games, go outside, visit dog parks, and so on.
