Safety, trust & environment

If I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays clean, cozy, and familiar for your pet. I follow feeding and walk schedules closely, give them lots of love and attention, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. For walks or drop-ins, I make sure they get plenty of fresh air, sniff time, and play — whatever makes them happiest. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and cared for, and for you to feel totally at ease knowing they’re in good hands. My apartment is close to Balboa Park so I can take them on lots of walks nearby!

Information Samantha C. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know their feeding schedule, medications, and any allergies! I am more than happy to make any accommodations for you and your pet!

A typical day

For fun, I love taking dogs on walks, playing with their favorite toys, and giving them time to just be themselves — whether that’s running around or relaxing on the couch!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Sami — a lifelong dog lover originally from Chicago, now living in San Diego. I currently have a sweet Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie mix) who lives back home with my mom in Chicago. Even though she’s miles away, I miss her every day — so taking care of other people’s pups fills my cup! I have 10+ years of experience watching all different breeds and ages ranges of dogs. If you have any special accommodations I am more than happy to accommodate! I live right between bankers hill and hillcrest area, and my apartment is pet friendly. There are lots of grassy areas nearby, and Balboa park is a 8 minute walk from me so there’s plenty of room for your dog to walk around! I work from home every day except Wednesdays so I can board your dog majority of the week! I live with my partner and we have a 2 bedroom place, so it is the perfect spot for your pup to hang out and will be getting lots of love and attention!

Sami was such a sweet and attentive sitter! She asked about dumplings typical habits and preferences to ensure he had the best day. Sami was very communicative, sent lots of pics and flexible with pick up/drop off. Definitely recommend!
