Sam can care for
Availability
I'm currently working part time as a photographer/videographer and location sound mixer which is contract work so if I've accepted care for your pet I consider it a contracted time. This means other contracts that would infringe will be turned down unless I can find you an agreeable replacement in a timely manner.

I care for my pets in my home the same manner I care for others pets in theirs, with love, patience, and attention. Owners being away can be a stressful time for them and I seek to meet that stress with as much comfort as I can provide.

A typical day
Morning Routine ☀️ Start with fresh food and water, making sure their diet stays consistent. Morning walk or playtime—whether it’s a stroll around the neighborhood, fetch in the yard, or interactive toys for indoor pets. A little grooming or brushing, if needed, to keep them feeling great. Midday Fun ? Enrichment activities like puzzle toys, snuffle mats, or training reinforcement. For cats, some laser pointer or feather wand play to keep them active. Cuddle or companionship time—I go at their pace, whether they love belly rubs or just want a cozy presence nearby. Afternoon Check-in ? Another potty break or quick walk. Time for a mini photo session Treats (if allowed) and more love before settling in for the evening. Evening Wind-down ? Dinner and fresh water with plenty of pets and praise. A final walk, playtime, or snuggle session to help them relax before bedtime. Sending updates and photos so you can rest easy, knowing your pet is in good hands! Throughout the day, I adjust my approach based on the pet’s energy level and personality—whether they’re an active pup who loves adventure or a chill cat who just wants a sunny spot to nap next to someone.

Pet care experience
Every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing personalized, loving care while their owners are away. My top priority as a pet sitter is to ensure your companion feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for in their own environment. We'll get to know each other at their pace, and with love (and a little luck!), we’ll become fast friends. I go beyond basic care by offering one complimentary professional-grade photo of your pet—perfect for your desk or home, delivered digitally (dependent on pet cooperation). You’ll also receive daily updates and adorable snapshots so you can have peace of mind while you're away. 🐶🐱 Whether it’s daily walks, fresh meals, or simply extra attention and affection, I strive to provide the same level of care your pet receives from you. 📌 Note: An additional charge may apply for pets with a history of aggression or additional needs (ex.specific lengthy procedures, additional time socializing with owner, ect)

Reviews
Sam took excellent care of our dog, Ace! He was communicative, respectful of our space and made sure Ace was well cared for and played with! 1000% would book again!
Sam is amazing! He is super knowledgeable and skilled. He is great with overly excited or anxious pups, and he was immediately able to help work on building our dog’s comfort and confidence out on walks. He also took her out on fun adventures when possible. We can’t recommend him enough!!
Sam was responsive and flexible and kept us informed of how our pets were doing while we were away. Our dog is very wary of strangers and Sam was able to gradually earn his trust over the long weekend.
Sam is a wonderful pet sitter. He was great with our cats. He was timely in their feedings and went over their care plan very carefully. I felt very safe leaving Trick and Treat with Sam while we were gone. I think they had a blast playing with Sam as they were very affectionate to him after we came back. Will absolutely be using Sam's services again! 10 out of 10!
