Safety, trust & environment

I live with my parents so I probably wouldn’t be bring the dog home too often, but I’m pretty active and would take dogs on walks throughout the day. At a clients place, I like to chase them around for a bit at times and play around with them occasionally. I have a lot of energy so I have no problem with younger dogs.

Information Samuel Jr. F. would like to know about your pet

not too much to say here. there aren’t too many circumstances where I wouldn’t be able to care for your pets. I haven’t watched any pets younger than like 7 months, and neither have I had to care for a pet that needed medicine that wasn’t oral or cream-based.

A typical day

normally depends on the pet. a few dogs I’ve watched really enjoy playing fetch and playing keep away with their toys/ball. I like going on walks around Columbia and the dogs I’ve sitter seem to enjoy that too.

Pet care experience

I have about 3+ years experience with watching / taking care of dogs. I’ve had my fair share of experiences knowing what they can and can’t eat and what questions to ask regarding a dogs diet. I have experience staying over night with dogs (at my place or theirs), going over to their place and taking care of them for a few hours, and of course walking dogs. I’ve had experience taking care of older dogs, about 13+ years old, and younger ones, roughly 4-5 years old.

We can’t say enough great things about Samuel! He cared for all four of our pack like a pro. We got plenty of check ins, he was incredibly communicative, and everyone loved him (even our skidish eleven year old cat). We’ll definitely be knocking on his door again!

Samuel was amazing! He took care of Zelda so well and she had a great time with him.

My dog is very anxious and is particularly leery of men. Samuel’s calm demeanor and caring nature made her time with him very pleasant. I will definitely use him again.

Samuel's responsive, asks questions, and sends lots of pics - all things that make for a great pet & house sitter! He plays with cat and is careful to not let him escape. Samuel's also gentle with my elderly corgi and gives both of my fur babies lots of love and attention.
