Safety, trust & environment

My cats are strictly indoors, everyone has goes to the vet regularly and has a routine. When I visit clients house I make sure I follow their directions step by step. I listen intently and share my own experiences so they know I'm listening and will be comfortable and happy with me taking care of their pets.

Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet

I require first time meets before I start any care for any animals, I prefer to know where everything is, what the routine they're used to is, and any behaviors I should know.

A typical day

When walking your dog, they will have my full attention (I will not be on my phone) They will smell every smell, they will get all the steps and be happy, stimulated and tired after!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of both cats and dogs for years. I've taken care of dogs over 100lbs to 5 pounds, I've had cats all my life (including 4 right now) and they're some of my favorite creatures to care for.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Sam! Great visits, played with our one unruly and terrifically needy orange, and treated them all (we have four cats altogether) like they were their own! Thank you, Sam for doing such a wonderful job!
