Flexible Sched & Experienced Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sam and I am a Data Engineer by trade here in Manhattan. My job has full flexibility which allows me to pursue my passions in life, of which one of them is pets. I love pets and enjoy the companionship of them and taking care of them. Currently, I am only taking a limited number of repeat clients as I am nearing full capacity. I go above and beyond to build a bond with your pet, understand his/her personality, quirks, dislikes, nuances so the subsequent times I care for your pet, it will be smooth, stress-free experience.

Huge thank you again to Sam for taking care of my kitties over the holidays! Sam continues to be an excellent communicator and wonderful pet caretaker. I never need to worry when Sam is checking on my cats, and she will continue to be my #1 Rover choice when I go out of town.

Sam took such great care of my cat, even watered my plant while I was away! Can't recommend her enough

Safety, trust & environment

My home is an absolutely NON-SMOKING home. I have a 1 bedroom apartment with minimal furniture in it. There is a good amount of space for your furbaby to run around or lay down in. My home has a nice doggy bed, along with many toys for him/her to play with. Your furbaby will be showered with TLC and have a lot of fun in my home. I do ask that your fur baby is potty trained and is friendly with other dogs. There is a really fancy, fenced-in park across the street from my apartment where I can take your pup to and can run around. All the neighborhood pups absolutely loves it.

Information Sam Y. would like to know about your pet

When it comes to pet training 101, consistent schedule and continuity of habits is key :) 1. Understanding when your furbaby eats 2. Schedule of when your dog goes out for walks or playtime 3. Commands/tricks for treats 4. Diet or food allergies 5. Temperament around other pets when outside for walks or playtime 6. Any medications he/she is on

A typical day

Since my home will have lots of toys for your furbaby to play with, there will be ample opportunities for playtime. Next to my building, we have an empty, hidden public public park where your furbaby and I can hang out with very little people and pets around. If your furbaby is up to socialize, I live about 10 minutes away from a dog park where there is ample space to run around and socialize with other people and dogs. Please let me know what your dogs preference is and I can definitely accommodate what he/she wants :)

I work from home full time and will always be at home. The benefits of WFH allows my schedule to be flexible and cater to your schedule. My clients are folks that travels often and for prolonged periods of time. Your furbaby will have my full attention and care when I am with him/her. I am happy to provide you updates, pictures throughout the day.
