Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Whisperer of all Types
I grew up on a farm with livestock animals such pigs, cows, goats, chickens, and many dogs. Animal care and safety has always been something I am passionate about. I am certified in both Dogsafe, Fear Free Shelters, and Horsemanship. I connect well with animals and seniors because I to easy-going, fun, but clear headed and dependable. I have done pet sitting for dogs and cats, dog bathing and combing. I am a semipro rugby player and very physically fit so am happy to take your active dog for a run, and can easily lift even large dogs in and out of the tub or carry them up and down stairs for senior or injured dogs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets with a focus on safety, routine, and trust. I grew up with animals and follow DogSafe practices, so I pay close attention to behavior and safe handling. I provide a clean, secure space and keep a consistent routine. Pets are supervised and introduced slowly if needed. If a dog is crate trained, I maintain that routine. Crates are used as a safe, calm space, never for punishment, with regular breaks, exercise, and attention. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and medications. I keep their environment clean and low stress, and provide updates to the owner. I adjust my care to each pet’s needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Sam has lived with me for two years. From day one he has been amazing with my dog. Then when my family comes with their dogs he plays with them all. We now have a new puppy and he is teaching her tricks and both my dogs love him. I have trusted Sam to look after the dogs when I am away with no worries. If you are looking for a very kind man to look after your pet be dog,cat or other I fully recommend Samuel. Lynette J.

Schedule
During most of the year I am a semipro rugby player and train 4 times a week and games on Saturdays but am available some mornings and evenings and on Sundays. Summer is the off season so I am much more flexible. I am available to do house sitting and dog walking or drop in visits for bathing. I am active and would enjoy taking dogs on runs or playing with active puppies.
