Highlights
Pet care experience
Child-free, pet-free sitter!
I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds over the last few years - mostly friends, family members, coworkers, etc. I am very familiar with dogs and their nuanced behaviors. I’ve sat for all size dogs and am most familiar with dogs over one year old, but puppies are great, too. For cats, I’ve had cats my entire life and am incredibly comfortable with them. I understand their odd ways of loving their humans, and am excited to sit for cats.

Ratings and reviews
Samuel H. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Sam was fantastic. Communicative, flexible and my dog seemed to have a great time with him.
Amazing!! I had the pleasure of hiring Samuel to sit my dog, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience!
Samuel was great with my doberman Atlas, sharing updates and pictures and really making sure Atlas stuck to his similar routine that he has at home to make sure he settles in well. I could also tell that Atlas was really comfortable and relaxed which was great to see!
Sam was so great taking care of my dog! He provided lots of updates and pictures during her stay with him. She came back super happy & chill. I’d absolutely book with him again!
Sam was a great Rover! Excellent communication before and during the stay, with pictures and videos of our 2 goldens super appreciated. I love having our dogs to stay in their own space, and Sam integrated well with them. He also respected our house, no concerns there. I'll definitely rebook with Sam again if our calendars allow!

Schedule
I live in a child-free, pet-free home, in a one bedroom apartment in central Austin, with a fenced-in dog park less than 100 yards from my apartment door. I live in a slower-paced neighborhood with lots of trees and shade which is great for walks and exercise with all pets. I love going for long walks and runs, especially when a furry friend is (or friends are) tagging along. I work in office only three days a week, about 1/2 mile from my home, so I’m constantly available to provide your pet comfort throughout the day. Your pet won’t be without attention or care for any longer than 6 hours at a time. I have experience giving medication with food to dogs and cats and feel comfortable doing so. All in all, I love pets and am looking forward to hosting and caring for your friend(s)!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I love taking walks, bringing your pets to the neighborhood park right outside my door to expend all their built up energy, or cuddling on the couch watching movies. I treat all animals with the love and care they deserve and constantly monitor them to make sure they are as happy to be with me as I am to have them. Finally, I know pets can be nervous when they first stay in a new place so I like to take time to build trust with them and ease them into their new environment. Usually this involves playing with toys, giving them pets and cuddles, or some easy outside time together.
A typical day
Dog park and fetch? Or a speedy run through the neighborhood? Or a calm, slow paced walk through the hilly neighborhood? Even car rides with the windows down can be fun. Overall, I’ll cater the activity to the desires of the dog so they feel the most comfortable in this environment while they are here.
