Safety, trust & environment

While I am housesitting for you, I stick to your pet’s usual routine — whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I adjust to each pet’s specific lifestyle and needs, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions. I’m very communicative and send updates and photos frequently, so you know how things are going.

Information Samuel S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what medications or special needs they may have. What they do and don't like in terms of general play and daily structure.

A typical day

I love engaging in a variety of activities with the animals. From running around and playing fetch outside, long walks at the park, or just lounging around on the couch. I have a very active lifestyle, and taking care of an active dog suits my lifestyle perfectly.

Attentive, Dog-Loving House Sitter

Pet care experience

I very recently got into pet sitting when two family friends asked me if I'd be interested in taking care of their Mini-Schnauzer and housesitting while they were away. Not too long after that, my cousin asked if I could watch her good boy, a sweet black pittie lab mix (pictured in my profile!) During the process of watching these dogs, I found that I genuinely enjoyed taking care of and spending time with them. So here I am! I don’t have pets of my own, so when I’m housesitting for your Dog, he/she will get my full attention. I’m responsible, respectful of your home, and happy to stick to your pets’ routines — whether that’s walks, playtime, or just companionship. Two people I’ve sat for have already offered to provide references, and I’d be happy to share those upon inquiry. If you're looking for someone dependable and dog-loving who will treat your home and animals with care, I’d love to connect!

Brutus and Bailey loved the company and Sam was absolutely great with them. Great communication and would 100% recommend him. Definitely going to be rebooking with him.

We had an amazing experience with Sam! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and took excellent care of our two large dogs. The dogs were clearly happy and well looked after when we returned, and our house was exactly as we left it—clean and in perfect order. It gave us such peace of mind to know everything was in good hands. Highly recommend!

We have known Sam for many years. He has taken care of our dog in our home several times. He is very good handling our dog, he is trustworthy and takes this responsibility seriously.
