Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I keep their routine consistent — from feeding and walks to playtime and downtime. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and engagement, and I respect each cat’s personality, whether they want play, cuddles, or space. I keep water bottles and bowls refreshed, maintain a clean environment, and send regular updates so you always feel connected and informed.
Information Samuel S. would like to know about your pet
As a proud Dog Daddy/Floof Owner, I love keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable. A typical day includes: • Plenty of walks to explore new smells and burn energy • Games like fetch, tug-of-war, or mental stimulation puzzles • Calm hangout time for cuddles, scratches, or just relaxing together • Maintaining your pet’s regular routine so everything feels familiar and safe • Lots of positive attention, communication, and reassurance Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a slow, gentle pace, I always tailor the day to their personality and comfort level. Your pet’s happiness is the priority — every single visit.
A typical day
Before I care for your pet, I’d love to know anything that helps me give them the safest and happiest experience possible. This includes: • Daily routines (feeding times, walking habits, potty schedule) • Energy level and favorite ways to play • Any reactivity, nervousness, or triggers I should avoid • Medical needs, allergies, or medications • Social preferences (dog-friendly, shy, or solo-time only) • Training cues or commands you use at home • Anything that comforts them — favorite toy, blanket, or routine I’m all about making your pet feel secure and understood, so the more I know, the better I can tailor their care.

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, and pets have always been a huge part of my home. I cared for my dachshund for 16 years, and now I’m the proud Dog Daddy of a 6-year-old Bernedoodle who I raised and trained from puppyhood. I also have two cats, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and understanding the different needs of dogs and cats. Outside of my own pets, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family for years. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, ages, energy levels, and personalities — from seniors to high-energy pups and everything in between. I’m patient, calm, and confident handling pets who are shy, excited, or need a little extra reassurance. Whether it’s sticking to a precise routine, giving plenty of exercise, or providing extra comfort for anxious pets, I tailor my care to what makes your pet feel safe and at home.

Reviews
Sam could not have been better. He was available last minute and super sweet to my dog. Couldn’t recommend him more.
Great sitter! He stayed full-time for 6 days, took excellent care of our two dogs (including administering meds), and went above and beyond helping with things around the house. We came home to a happy pups and everything in great shape. Highly recommend!
Sam was very attentive to our cat and provided excellent communication on all aspects of her care.
He is so good about giving her belly rubs and getting my old dog to take a nice walk.
