Safety, trust & environment

I always leave a home as beautiful as it was when I entered. I am comfortable with whatever protocal you may have. I am very mindful and will do my best to keep an upbeat, safe, and happy environment for all pets!

Information Samuel S. would like to know about your pet

I want to know your pets routine, as well as things I might need to lookout for. Any signs they might show expressing a want or routine they are used to? Time of day they expect a certain toy/treat/meal?

A typical day

I am a very active person so for dogs that need to get their energy out, the day will certainly include dog friendly parks! Tried and true, laps around the neighborhood always work as well!! I love playing fetch with your dogs or cat toys with your fur babies!

Pet care experience

Howdy! 🐾 Summer is here and so is the Texas Heat!! I’ll be taking extra precaution going forward with each visit and have a water + bowl anytime the weather is above 85°to ensure fur-babies are not overheating! I’m a very calm and patient person with a handful of years in private-pet-care. As a native to San Antonio and the many dog parks around, I am dedicated to helping out the pet community with reliability in short or long term situations! I will be devoting lots of my energy towards the pet/s under my watch and don't take lightly the privilege to lookout for all fur babies! First time on Rover? Here is $20 OFF your first Rover booking! Code: SAMUE89380

Samuel did a great job in taking care of our senior "Spanky" dog who lost his brother a few months back from health problems. He is kind and caring.

Samuel has been sitting for both our dog and cat for over a year and has been wonderful. We have used him for home boarding and drop in visits at our home in the west side and he is always great with communication, reliable, and does great with our pets. We have been very satisfied!
