Safety, trust & environment

I will not be using my own apartment as a dog sitting venue. Instead, I can take your pets out or visit/stay in their usual homes to make sure they are taken well-cared of on a case-by-case basis.

Information Sam Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any concerns about your pet, behaviorally. I’d love to know what works for your dog to build trust with others, historically, if that information is available.

A typical day

If your pet has an enclosed area, I would love to play with them off leash. Otherwise, I am happy to take your dog on a nice stroll on a leash through the neighborhood.

Sam did a beautiful job taking care of my cat Gracie! She was friendly, communicative, and conscientious - and very flexible about administering medication short notice. I came home to a clean house and a happy cat. Would happily work with Sam again!

I've always trusted Sam to watch my Teddy Boy (Chihuahua mixed) and Rebel (Weimaraner) whenever I had to travel out of town. She is so attentive, playful, and charismatic with my dogs that I almost get jealous seeing how much fun they have with her in my absence! Sam has also come through for me when Teddy was feeling ill and needed an impromptu visit to the vet (he's okay!). She was excellent about communicating the situation to me and put me at ease. Your dogs / pets will be in good hands with Sam!

Sam is just the best. She has walked our dogs, traveled with them, and done overnights for weekends and long trips (12 days) She knows that my fur kids are so important and keeps me updated on their days through pictures and texts. She takes direction well and understands what it takes to make sure the dogs were getting their energy out and feeding schedules each day. She took the stress away while we were traveling knowing the pups were in great hands. In addition she took great care of our house while gone and or plants too. I wish she hadn't moved so far away or we would be utilizing her pup skills daily!
