Your Dog’s New Best Friend – Sam
With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. I’ve been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, exercise, medication, or play preferences. I make sure to give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere that feels just like home.

I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, which allows me to provide attentive pet care during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I’m fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, giving your pet plenty of dedicated time for walks, play, and companionship. My schedule allows me to balance reliable, loving care with consistent availability to meet your pet’s needs throughout the week.

- Before spending time with your pup, I’d love to know a few important details to make sure I give them the best care possible! Some helpful things to share would be: Leash behavior: How do they do on a leash? Are there any triggers (like bikes, squirrels, or other dogs)? Socialization: How do they get along with other dogs and new people? Feeding schedule: How many times a day do they eat, and what’s their usual routine? Medications: Do they take any meds or have any health conditions I should be aware of? House rules: Are they allowed on furniture or in certain rooms? Car rides: Do they enjoy them, or do they get anxious or carsick? Activity level: How long can they comfortably go on walks or hikes? Bathroom needs: How often do they typically need potty breaks? Training: Are they house trained? Do they respond to basic commands or know any fun tricks? Comfort items: Do they have favorite toys, blankets, or routines that help them feel secure? Behavior cues: Any habits or body language I should be aware of to understand their mood?
