Pet care experience

🐕Experienced,Reliable,Professional

I provide full-time care of your animals. I provide house and pet sitting for a living. THIS IS MY JOB. I have no other obligations but to prioritize your home and pets needs. Rest assured my time will be focused on your home and pets. I have been around pets my whole life, and enjoy giving them the proper attention and care they need. I have helped clients, family, friends, and neighbors with their animals and homes. I have a range of experience all the way up to full homestead farms and hobby farms. (multiple cats, dogs, chickens, etc), and farm sits (pigs, mini ponies , donkeys, chickens, sheep, goats, and calves). I take pride in the responsibility of walking, playing, feeding, giving medicine, cleaning up after them, and overall spending quality time with them. My preference is to care for pets in the pet owners' home. This includes walks, playing and running around together, feeding, giving treats, scooping and changing litter boxes, giving meds, snuggling, and caring for other critters such as birds, fish, lizards, etc. I also know you may need a few things done around the house while you are away. I have no problem watering plants, bringing in packages and mail, etc. I always clean the home very well upon ending a stay. I realize the joy of returning from a trip to a nice and tidy home!

Samuel was fantastic! Our two dogs and cat were well cared for, and the house was spotless — he even washed the sheets and towels. Highly recommend and will book again.

Samuel was fantastic with our dogs and cat! He showed up right on time, took the pups for a good walk, fed everyone on schedule, and made sure they were all happy and relaxed. We loved getting updates and could tell our pets were in great hands. He even went above and beyond by cleaning up before he left and washing/drying the sheets and putting them back on the bed — such a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend Samuel for any pet‑sitting needs and will absolutely book with him again!

Sam did an amazing job with Izzy. It was the first time leaving her with a sitter. Sam sent great updates and photos while we were gone. It was so nice to come home to a clean house. Thank you Sam!!

Samuel was great while I was gone for a week. He sent photos and took the dogs walking, etc. When I returned, he had cleaned the kitchen - it was spotless, did laundry including sheets and towels, and the dogs were happy and healthy. I recommend Samuel as a house/pet sitter and I plan to book him again if he's available. Thanks Samuel!

Sam watched our two senior dogs (one with early dementia and lots of quirks) and 3 large house rabbits while staying at our house for 4 days. He. Is. Amazing. He did an exceptional job caring for everyone while we were away. He has excellent communication skills, is polite, easy going, extremely organized, and clearly cares very much for all animals. He took care to keep the house as clean as it was, if not cleaner, than when he arrived, he sent daily updates and pictures, and was very patient going over routine details for our fur family prior to our trip. I would absolutely, without any hesitation, ask him to watch over our little ones again!

Let me know if your pets have any special needs to account for. I realize some pets may need special attention and I am happy to accommodate! I am experienced in treating eyes and ears with bacteria infections, hot spot treatment, and overall patience with older and special needs animals.
