MVP of Dog and Cat Care

Pet care experience

I have a lot of dog and cat experience from my own family and caring for friends' pets. I run and play basketball, so I have a lot of energy to share with your furry friends. I love going to the park or a nice walk along a local lake or trail. I even have years of experience working with service dogs, both on-duty and off-duty. If you have a cat I am comfortable with playing nonstop or just curling up with the kitty for some cuddles. I was a Boy Scout and did my Eagle project at the county Humane Society, really just to play with the animals! My personal pets through the years: Dogs - Smokey, Maya, Bear, and Anna, Cats - Kalamazoo, Spot & Taffy, Luna, Puma, Charlie, and Marla.

Samuel took the best care of our pets! He was so easy to communicate with, and he gave out cats and dogs excellent care and attention. We especially appreciated his witty drop-in reports! We highly recommend Sam’s services!

Samuel took great care of my cat when I went out of town. Sent plenty of photos, played with him, and was very punctual when it came to the in-home visits and feedings. He kept me in the loop constantly, and was a pleasure to have as a sitter. I can’t write enough about how amazing this booking was. Thank you to Samuel! We will be rebooking with him again when any trips come up.

All I can say is WOW! No need to look any further you have found the perfect companion for your sweet Pup! The first time I observed Sam with my French Bulldog Oliver, I was in awe. I had never seen a human play hind and seek with a puppy, or a dog. But, with Sam it has become one of Oliver’s favorite interaction with humans. Sam met Oliver when he was 10 weeks. Every time Oliver sees Sam he gets so excited. Sam is the one who taught Oliver to go up and down the stairs. Sam has a natural gift, and honestly is one of the best people I’ve ever seen with dogs. It is such a comfort to know when I need to go out of town, or have someone check in on Oliver, that he is getting the same kind of love and attention that I would give him. And sometimes, I think Sam is better at it than I am. Having Sam care for your sweet pups, you will never need to worry. He is absolutely fantastic!

Samuel used to babysit my cat and dog before I moved away and he was so good with them! He would play with them and keep them active. He always fed them on time. Very responsible and good with animals!

When I am at your home or in public I am happy to shower your pet with attention and play with them to make their time away from you as fun as possible.

Information Samuel M. would like to know about your pet

I need to know how a dog will react when approached by other dogs or strangers. I also find it helpful to know if there are treats a dog can have as part of my time with them. Finally, I like to know if there is anything a dog may be afraid of so I can help them avoid those situations.

A typical day

I am big into scenic walks and giving dogs a long time to sniff and explore their surroundings. I have just as much fun running around and playing fetch with pups!
