I'm free pretty much every day. I'm up by 9am and don't go to bed until midnight so I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I work out and get a walk in but outside of that my schedule is pretty open and I can work around whatever your pet needs.

About Samuel K.

Dog skills

15 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I walk and care for my own dog Maggie daily so I'm already comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, she's a Bracco Italiano and she's heavy so I'm used to picking up and managing bigger dogs too. When I'm at a client's home I'm attentive, I keep doors closed, make sure the pet isn't getting into anything they shouldn't, and I treat the space with respect. Your home and your pet are in good hands.

Information Samuel K. would like to know about your pet

Before I meet your pet I'd love to know how they do around new people, anything that might trigger reactive or aggressive behavior, and if there are any spots I should avoid when petting them. Just helps me make sure the first meeting goes smoothly and your pet feels comfortable with me.

A typical day

Pretty much what I do with Maggie. We'll go for a walk around the neighborhood, play with toys in the yard or inside, fetch, rope toy, whatever they're into. I'm hands on and actually engaged, not just sitting on my phone while your dog stares at the wall.

Pet care experience

Animals have honestly been a huge part of my whole life. Right now I own Maggie, a 2 year old Bracco Italiano, and I help with everything with her day to day, walks, baths, training, all of it. Before her I grew up with a Cavachon, Molly, that was in my family for 16 years, so I know how much your dog means to you and I don't take that lightly. Growing up I walked and dog sat for neighbors around my area which is really where I got comfortable caring for other people's dogs. I'm reliable, patient, and I treat every dog like it's my own. Your pup will be in good hands.
