Pet care experience
Trusted pet care
Hi, I’m Samuel, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 3 years. During that time, I’ve looked after both cats and dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every pet has its own routine, and I always make it a priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to detail. I don’t just provide food and water—I take the time to interact with each pet, make sure they’re comfortable, and notice if anything seems out of the ordinary. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or special care requests. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I treat every pet as if it were my own, creating a calm and stress-free environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for from the moment you book with me.

Ratings and reviews
Sam did an incredible job taking care of my dog Tommy! He tends to be very nervous but sam was patient and loving. 10/10 the best ever!!!
I’ve known Samuel to be a kind, responsible, and trustworthy person. He genuinely cares about others, and I have no doubt he would bring that same level of care and dedication to looking after pets. I would feel confident recommending him to anyone looking for someone dependable who will treat their pets with patience, kindness, and respect.
Sam took excellent care of my cat, Freya, for a week while I was away. It was clear that Freya was well looked after, and I really appreciated the care and attention Sam gave her. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, which gave me great peace of mind. I was very satisfied with the service and would happily recommend Sam to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Samuel was an amazing pet caregiver for my cat Luna. He was responsible, caring, and made sure she felt comfortable and loved while I was away. Luna was always happy and relaxed when I came back, and I could tell Samuel gave her the attention and care she needed. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet caregiver.
Left my yorkies with Samuel for 3 days and they had a blast with him , Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a dog sitter
I would 110% leave my dog with Samuel again. He's super great at communicating and was always keeping me updated about my black lab, Mila. My dog was always cared for and had an amazing time. She came back super happy and almost didn't want to leave. I'll be leaving her with them again for my next vacation.

Schedule
Pet care is an important part of my daily routine and something I take seriously. I organize my schedule to ensure every pet receives consistent, reliable care without ever feeling rushed. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I make each visit a priority. I plan my day around the needs of the pets I care for because I know how important routine is to their well-being. I always arrive on time, carefully follow each owner’s instructions, and adapt my care to each pet’s personality and needs. Being dependable and attentive allows me to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care for both dogs and cats in my home or in my clients’ homes, depending on what is best for each pet. My home is a clean and comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also live near a walking park and the Pembroke Pines Craig Rupp K-9 Dog Park, offering great opportunities for exercise and enrichment for dogs with the owner’s approval. Cats staying in my home are given a quiet, secure space where they can relax, explore at their own pace, and feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to minimize stress. I carefully follow feeding schedules, fresh water routines, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication instructions if needed, and any special care requests. If your dog or cat is crate trained or has a specific sleeping or daily routine, I will follow it exactly as instructed. My goal is to provide a safe, dependable, and loving environment so every pet feels comfortable and every owner has peace of mind while they’re away.
A typical day
When watching pets, I enjoy keeping them active, happy, and comfortable by doing activities like walks, playtime with their favorite toys, backyard games, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I like going on walks, playing fetch, practicing basic commands, and giving them time to explore safely. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys, gentle attention, and creating a calm environment where they feel relaxed. Every pet has a different personality, so I make sure to adjust activities based on their energy level and what they enjoy most.

- Before caring for a pet, it is important to know their routine, personality, and specific needs. I like to learn about their feeding schedule, favorite activities, energy level, any allergies or health concerns, and how they interact with people and other animals. Knowing their habits, preferences, and comfort levels helps me provide the best care possible and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they are with me.
