House Sitting in Walker

About: What sets me apart is my experience and attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’ve been dog sitting since 2022 and have cared for senior dogs as well as medically complex dogs, so I’m comfortable with medications, special routines, and giving extra patience and care when needed. I’m also very reliable and detail-oriented—I stick closely to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I’m a student at SAU and work part-time with varying hours, so my schedule is flexible. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule, so I make pet care a priority and adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs! Since I only offer care in clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. I stick closely to their normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications—so nothing feels out of place. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping the home clean and secure. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, just like you never left.

“Samuel was AMAZING with our pup! We had to fly across the country unexpectedly and he was able to watch Frankie at the last second and took great care of him all weekend. He was super flexible with our flight delays on the way home as well. Frankie got to go on lots of fun adventures too! We will definitely be using Samuel whenever we need a dog sitter in the future!”

About: Focus on Communication: Offer daily photo and detailed text updates for every visit, ensuring the employer feels connected. I promptly report any unusual behavior or concerns, showing vigilance. Safety and Preparedness: I've thought about emergency protocols, such as having local vet contact information, and being mindful of home security (e.g., locking up properly, varying walk times slightly for dogs). Customized Care: I meticulously follow the exact routine provided and proactively ask for details about their pet's unique quirks, favorite toys, and specific anxieties to ensure comfort, showing you view the pet as an individual. Flexibility and Enthusiasm: I am eager to build a lasting relationship and your willingness to accommodate slightly unusual schedules or last-minute requests as a new sitter looking to impress. I'm available Monday through Friday and can work as soon as possible! That way I'll have more time to learn about your pup and play with them! Routine: Outline feeding times/amounts, walk schedule, medication administration, and playtime. Follow the owner's instructions closely. Emergency: Include vet contact info, owner contact while away, and an emergency backup contact with clear protocols for medical issues. House Rules: Confirm what is/isn't allowed (e.g., furniture access, guests, alarm codes). Updates: Specify how often you will send photo/text updates and what channel i'll use.
