Pet care experience

Hello! Sam here. I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 13 years old. . Whenever friends, family, or neighbors leave town, our home always has their first choice. All the pups that stay with my wife Karen and I receive care as if they are our own. Having a first-floor walk-up with a private 500 square foot backyard comes in handy. Our home is on the first floor of our building, so if you have an older fur baby, their knees can rest :). While our backyard is the highlight for your pup's staycation, we do have two floors with plenty of space to meet the needs of your dog. Young, old, and in between - Karen and I regularly work with all ages: including basic training for puppies and specialized care for more senior/health specific dogs. Karen and I love doing this so much we are now full-time! The two of us walk, feed, cuddle, play, and watch our pups 24/7. During our stay, the dogs are never left unattended. 100% of the time, a human close by gives care and love. Our layout allows us to make your dogs stay as social or private as needed. Dogs sleep in the same room as us and sleep according to their preferences. If your dog needs to be in a crate or pen, we can provide that as well. In addition, we regularly go to the dog park and walk around our neighborhood. If you have any questions or want to meet and greet, please reach out.

Our dog has been staying at Sam and Karen’s for years during our travels and she has the best time! We always have peace of mind knowing she’s getting great care, walks, playtime and pictures throughout to keep up with everything.

Sam and Karen are amazing parents for Riley when I travel. The care, attention and love she receives is simply amazing. Sam and Karen are constantly sending pics and answering questions while I am away. The best vacation care possible

Sam and team were great to correspond with and in Daphne's initial meet & greet. They took the time to ask questions, get to know her, and introduce her to the crew of pups. I appreciate their philosophy on dog socialization and training. I got loads of photos and she came home happy and healthy.
