Ratings and reviews
Samuel did a great job house sitting with our two dogs. Great communication and everyone was happy!
Samuel is always very responsive and accommodating. Booked him for a last minute check in and he made it work. Thank you!!!
We had the pleasure of having Sam house sit and take care of our Chihuahua dog, Mini while we traveled abroad for 2 weeks. Stellar service as always from Sam, thanks for all the pictures and check ins with us, it really gives us a peace of mind knowing that our home and dog are in great care. You always go above and beyond and we appreciate you for that! Keep up the amazing work!
I would not recommend this sitter for dogs with medical or anxiety-related needs. 1. We specifically agreed at the time of booking that my dog would not be left alone for more than 3–4 hours because of his severe anxiety. Instead, while house-sitting in my home, he left my dog alone for 6–7 hours at a time. 2. My dog’s medication is time-sensitive, yet an adult had to go to my house and wake the sitter up so my dog could receive his medication. 3. I was never told that dogs would not be allowed to sleep in my guest bed with the sitter. My dog always sleeps in bed, there are even dog stairs the sitter was aware of but the sitter tried to have him sleep in a kennel instead. 4. The sitter was coming and going at unreasonable hours, including around 2:00 am. 5. I was later told that he had other clients to care for and couldn’t maintain the 3–4 hour schedule we had already agreed upon. I was out of the country during this stay, and after only two days, I had to contact Rover, cancel the booking, and make other arrangements from overseas. It was an extremely stressful experience.
Was a great help with our cat on a long vacation.
Samuel was awesome! He showed great attention to my furry ones. He was friendly, kind and truly cared. I’m so glad I got him.

Schedule
I have great availability throughout the week and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and energy towards helping out pet families around me! I’d like to consider myself a pet whisperer who enjoys getting to know what makes each fur friend happy. I’m currently learning more about dog training, so keeping their skills/commands sharp is always a plus with spare time! With those open to it, I’d even love to explore more of the city with them by visiting local pet-friendly spots or any of the beautiful trails around town!
