Grew up in a house full of animals!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a house full of dogs & cats and have always loved being around animals. We have always rescued dogs & cats, so I have a passion for giving every pet a loving home. I have a lot of experience caring for my family's many pets over the years and now that I live in Chicago, I want to continue that pet care.

Disappointed, he did not thoroughly follow all of my instructions.

Samuel did a great job of keeping in communication before and during my time away. He left me with a happy dog and tidy apartment to return to.

Sam was wonderful to communicate with and took good care of our doggo! He left our place very clean, and I would not hesitate to request his services in the future. Thanks again!

When we booked Sam for Thanksgiving week, we had 2 cats. Just before Thanksgiving, our sweet Tulip died. We were very worried about our other cat, Floyd and how he would manage with Tulip gone and us away for a week. Sam was a perfect fit. Aside from a great job of food and medication management, Sam spent time with Floyd giving him lots of love, petting and brushing. He regularly responded to my questions and he sent frequent pictures of our boy. Sam also stayed at night which was a huge relief for us. I highly recommend Sam. He is dependable, kind, communicative - and he washed the dishes that he used! We will definitely be booking him again.
