Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet has. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether that’s walks, playtime, or runs for higher-energy dogs. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, maintaining their routine, and giving them attention based on their personality. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Cleanliness, safety, and making your pet feel comfortable are my top priorities.

Information Samuel M. would like to know about your pet

Please share feeding schedule, energy level, and how they typically behave on walks or around other dogs. It’s also important to know if they have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications. I also appreciate knowing any triggers (like loud noises or separation anxiety), training cues they respond to, and what makes them happiest—whether that’s toys, treats, or just extra attention. The more I know upfront, the better I can make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and at home.

A typical day

Throughout the day, I mix in playtime, enrichment (like toys or basic training), and plenty of attention so your dog stays mentally and physically engaged. We might go to the park, or take a walk around the neighborhood.

Loving Care for Your Best Friend

Pet care experience

I’ve had a passion for dogs since I was young and have spent the past few years fostering and caring for dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered with the Young-Williams Animal Center, helping dogs find safe, loving homes. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like my own—whether that means structured walks, playtime, or just a calm environment to relax. I’m very active and happy to take high-energy dogs on runs or long walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

I can’t say enough good things about Sam. He’s watched my Bengal cat several times now, and every time I come home, it’s clear my cat was really well cared for. Bengals have a ton of energy, but Sam handles it effortlessly he doesn’t just take care of the basics, he actually spends time playing and engaging with him. It’s such a relief knowing my cat is in great hands.

Sam was great with my very active Australian Shepherd! He was very caring and attentive and kept me updated throughout. Overall a nice young man who has a deep appreciation for animals. I would 100% trust him again and recommend him to anyone who needs a fun/loving place for their pet. My Aussie came back happy and tired!
