Pet care experience
I had a pet dog and cat the day I came home from the hospital as a baby. I began dog sitting for neighbors in elementary school when I was 9 years old. I have pet and home sat off and on since. I spent the summer after my freshman year of college "shadowing" in a family pet veterinarian office, where I observed procedures, and learned techniques to maintain pet's calm as well as how to safely restrain them when calm is not an option. Currently, I work part time at an alpaca farm in Grove City where I care for 46 alpaca, 4 dogs, and 2 cats. I am large enough to be able to handle dogs of all sizes.
Reviews
We had Samuel walk our two dogs weekly for several months and he did an awesome job! He made time for meet and greets and we could tell he loves animals, he listened to all our little (picky, lol) details on how to walk and care for our dogs. One of our dogs is very difficult to manage on walks due to anxiety and is very dog/squirrel/cat reactive and we wanted someone who we knew would be able to handle him and he did great. Sam seemed trustworthy and took good care of our house and communicated/updated us in a timely manner. We plan to rebook with him in the future and definitely recommend him for dog care needs!
I would recommend Sam to anyone for their pet sitting and dog walking needs. He has taken care of our 2 cats and dogs (2 large rambunctious dogs and one medium mellow dog) at different stages of their lives. He is trustworthy, reliable and has a great way with all animals. Sam cares for animals in a compassionate manner, yet has great control over them when needed.

Skills
Information Samuel H. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any preferences or issues with any breeds or personalities. But, it is very important that I understand beforehand how a dog will behave; what quirks they may have; how they do around other dogs, people, children, and small animals; and any other important precautions.
A typical day
I'm flexible to a dogs needs. I love to play with athletic dogs (frisbee, ball, runs), but also enjoy slower paces with smaller dogs. I like to be in parks, so if you're near a dog friendly park, I'll utilize it. Every dog is unique, and I will match their needs and desires with my activities.
