Highlights
Pet care experience
Available every weekend and holiday
I've been around dogs for much of my life, and over the past several years I've regularly cared for the dogs of friends and neighbors while living in Charleston, South Carolina. Whether they were away for a weekend or on a longer trip, I was trusted to feed, walk, play with, and spend quality time with their pets so they felt comfortable and cared for while their owners were gone. Through those experiences, I've learned that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs. I take the time to understand each pet's schedule, energy level, favorite activities, and any special care instructions so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Now that I've moved to Virginia, I'm excited to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy by meeting new dogs and helping local pet owners. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I'll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love that I gave to the dogs I watched back in Charleston. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and reliable experience that gives you complete peace of mind while you're away.

Ratings and reviews
2nd time booking with Samuel and we are still happy to book with him. Silk was immediately excited to see him. We received constant updates and photos while away, he definitely makes us feel at ease knowing Silk's in good hands. I will definitely schedule with Samuel again.
Great sitter, would happily board my dog with him again!
Samuel was great! He was very communicative and responsive. I could tell he genuinely enjoyed having my pup over. I got many updates and pictures throughout the stay. Pickup and drop off transitions were super smooth. My dog definitely had a great time with him. Samuel was flexible and tried to accommodate Remy's stay the best he could. Would highly recommend!
Samuel was absolutely amazing! I think Silk had a mini vacation - long walks, pets, and pool time, he couldn't have been happier! Samuel provided excellent communication and kept us updated with photos. When we picked Silk up, he greeted us and ran circles around us and Samuel, even further confirming Silk had a great time and enjoyed his visit! Thanks Samuel!

Schedule
My schedule is generally flexible, and I do my best to accommodate bookings whenever possible. I keep my calendar up to date and will communicate promptly if anything changes. Whether your pet needs daytime care, overnight boarding, or drop-in visits, I'll work with you to make sure they're well cared for.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety is my top priority. As an active-duty U.S. Navy service member, reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail are part of my everyday life. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm home where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I'll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any other special requests. You'll also receive regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, fresh water, meals on your preferred schedule, and lots of attention. Every dog has a different personality, so I tailor the day to their needs. Energetic dogs will get plenty of exercise and enrichment, while older or more relaxed dogs can enjoy a quieter pace with lots of affection and comfortable places to rest. My goal is for your pet to feel at home while you're away.

- Before your pet's stay, I'd like to know about their personality, daily routine, energy level, and any medical conditions or medications. Please let me know if they have any fears, anxiety, food restrictions, allergies, or behavioral concerns such as resource guarding or aggression toward other animals or people. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pet.
