Pet care experience

Lots of experience and pets love me

I've been taking care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I grew up around dogs and have yet to meet one that doesn't like me. Through the years, I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats; from young, crazy pups to old, sick dogs and from ornery mostly outdoor cats to snuggly kitties that want to use me as a bed.

House Sitting • Apr 27, 2026

Our first time using a dog sitter and we booked Samuel to stay at our house for our two Goldens, one being only 5 months old. He met with us in advance at our house to get to know the pups, sent us daily updates and pics, and kept them on their usual routine (maybe even more spoiled). He also left the house as if he wasn’t ever there! It’s clear our doggies had a good time while we were away and are very grateful to Sam!

Sent great updates, came on time and stayed the full duration, and I loved the pictures. Thankful that Sam was able to accommodate so many visits and my dog was happy and well taken care of!

AMAZING! I was very anxious about leaving our home and pets and Sam put my mind at ease. He gave updates while we were gone and our animals just adored him. I am a firm believer that animals have instincts about people and our German shepherd who has a history of abuse and doesn’t trust most people went straight to him. Not only did he take great care of the dogs and cats but also the house. Would recommend to anyone!

Schedule

My other job is remote, so my schedule is very flexible for whatever your pet may need. Weekends or weekdays doesn't make much of a difference. I'm also a morning person, so early morning walks, feedings, etc are perfectly fine!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding, I have one pet friendly roommate and dog. The dog is so cat friendly that she annoys some cats by trying to convince them to play. My yard is fenced, but there is currently a damaged section that has been covered with temporary plastic fencing. The damage will be repaired soon and until then, I don't let anyone out there without supervision. For house sitting or drop-ins, I treat your pets the way I would want mine treated. I also try to match any routines your pet might be used to, if it's eating at a certain time or always being let out at a certain time, just let me know and I'll make sure to keep things as familiar as possible for your furry friends.
