Pet care experience

Pawesome, Pawsitive Pet care.

For as long as I can remember, my home has always been filled with dogs, cats, and pets of all varieties. I’ve raised puppies and kittens from birth for new homes and have cared for my friends’ pets many, many times. My wife Abby and I have 2 rescue cats, Viggo and Sable, and the friendliest and most playful Aussiedoodle you’ll ever meet named Penny. Penny loves to meet and play with other dogs, she’s incredibly gentle any not at all overbearing, intimidating, and knows when to slow down or ease off of other dogs who might not be in a social mood. Our cats do their own thing, but still make time for scritches. Our world is a better place for having cats and dogs in it, and I know it’s not easy to say goodbye (even briefly) to a beloved pet. My goal is to make your pets as happy and loved as I possibly can in your absence, as I would want my own furry family members to be when I’m gone. Whether it’s a short walk or a full fun day out and about, you can rest assured your own furry family will be in great hands with Sam the Sitter!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Pet comfort and safety is a big priority for my pets, so I strive to achieve the same level of comfort and safety for your pets too. Whether you wish to keep your loved ones in the comfort and safety of your own home or want your pets to go out and explore, I have a very reliable vehicle with dog safety harnesses and snacks and water available at all times, especially with the rising temperatures. I come prepared with anything your pet might need. One of the biggest things I learned from our own trainer (who is also a veterinarian and a friend) is the importance of a good diet. I try to feed our (and your) pets the most nutritional and organic food available to support a long and healthy life. I have a fully privacy fenced in backyard that is cleared of my dog’s “business” almost daily, so I am always open and happy to host pets in our home. For cats, we have numerous toys and comfy places to nap. You can guarantee your pet will be very well taken care of with me!

Samuel did a fantastic job looking after my dog and cats. My dog is a big boy (100+lbs) and Samuel was really good with him. He dropped by twice a day right on schedule and kept the house in order. Extremely personable, reliable, and great with the animals. I will absolutely book again.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 08, 2024

Samuel took such great care of my fur babies! He let us do a meet and great with our pups and his to make sure they were all comfortable together. He kept us updated very often with how our pups were doing throughout the day! He sent of several picture updates as well! He was very accommodating with our early morning schedule which helped so much! He is a great pet sitter! Will definitely be bringing our pups again!
