We received daily updates and photos during his stay. Katya’s own fur baby is a delightful, intelligent, and welcoming companion to any dog. We are eagerly looking forward to booking our next stay with them. Thank you for creating a home away from home for our fur baby!”

Not only does she have a great dog of her own that served as Meeloo's buddy and playmate, Christian also helped to maintain Meeloo's training and even create new, better habits for him! She sent pictures and updates every day, answered every question I had, and created a sense of connection with Meeloo even as I was far away. I can't recommend her enough!”

“We had Sammy watch our boy, Clyde, for a week while we were out of town and wanted to make sure we left him with someone who could love him the same while we were gone. Sammy did just that! Her communication was first class and we could tell her care for our boy was the same. She provided regular pictures of playtime and lounging which was a nice surprise when we got them. We will definitely be using Sammy for any boarding we need in the area! Thanks!”

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of pets all throughout my childhood and have a love for animals. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, livestock, you name it. Growing up on a farm and with household pets myself has allowed me to have a large range of knowledge for pet care.Guaranteed I’ll be able to adapt to your pets needs for the best care. I have my own dog that is very social and enjoys playing with other dogs. I have experience taking special care of animals when ill or have social insecurities. I am an adaptable person with a heart for animals so any special concerns can be accommodated to. I am familiar with feeding, bathing and administering medications if necessary. I currently have a hybrid job. I am able to work from home some days and I am able to come home early and on break to let pets out when working from the office. I spend a good bulk of time playing with pets in home and interacting with them. Pets will have ample play time in my home and be encouraged to be their high energy selves in my home. Relaxed pets also welcome and can have plenty of lounge time on the couch or in a pet bed! Pets in my home have free rein except for in personal rooms when unattended. I do live in an apartment but it is rather spacious and I have two large balconies front and back.
