Pet care experience
Floof Dad 🐶 Big Heart, Better Care
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.

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.
Ratings and reviews
Sam is an outstanding dog-sitter! He had great communication before and during the sit - he sent photo updates multiple times each day we were away. He took the dogs on lovely walks and had nice playtimes with them. He left the house nice and clean for when we arrived back and the dogs were all so happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend and we hope to have Sam sit for us again in future.
Samuel was a kind and considerate petsitter to my cat and rabbit! He provided thorough updates and multiple pictures per visit. Even though my cat is skittish he was able to check in on her, which I truly appreciated. Great overall experience!!!
Samuel was awesome with our cat. Great communication and lots of pics put us at ease. Would highly recommend Samuel for your pet care!
Great sitter as always! My cats are fat and happy.
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!

Schedule
I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible and responsive during the week. I’m available most afternoons and evenings, and weekends are generally open. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
