I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!!

Information Samuel H. would like to know about your pet

To properly take care of your dog, I want to know their typical daily routine, any medications they need, foods they are or aren't allowed to eat, what sorts of activities they like (car rides, walks, fetch, etc.), whether they are house trained or not, if they're good on a lease or not, and any other eccentricities or information you think I'll need to know about your pet to give them the best care as possible!

A typical day

Outside of my school work load, and depending on the set up we decide on, I will give walks as needed by the dog (minimal every few hours), I will give your dog as much love and affection as they want, they will get food as needed (two meals a day but depends on what times I will be watching your dog)

Location

Lexington Park, MD

Samuel H.'s Neighborhood

Every dog I meet, I get along with!

Pet care experience

I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care!

Samuel did a fantastic job watching our dog who is both quite reactive and recovering from ACL surgery. We already rebooked him for next month and highly recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind while they’re away from their fur baby.

Sam worked at my kennel a few years ago. You can tell he truly loves animals and will treat yours like they’re his own. He is knowledgeable on dogs and that help make walks and playtime more fun. I would recommend Sam for any dog sitting jobs.
