I recently was furloughed, so I have all the time in the world to take care of your special creature. Even before then, I worked from home, as does my wife currently, so I can spend plenty of time giving dogs the attention, stimulation, and walks they need to be their happiest and healthiest selves.

A typical day

Now that I have a lot of time on my hands, I love spending it outside as much as possible. I'd love to take doggos out on long walks and spend time sitting in a park reading or playing fetch

I just like hanging out with dogs

Pet care experience

My wife calls me a dog, so I thought I would start taking care of them! I grew up with a dog and have sat or walked dogs for many of my friends and co-workers. I love everything about taking care of dogs, including cuddles, kisses, walks, and even picking up poop. I'd love to take care of your loved one!

Sam & Molly are the only sitters we’ve trusted our pup to. He is always happy to see their building and he’s in such a good mood at pickup. We love that he loves them.

Our pup loves Sam and his wife! We know he is in good hands when we leave our dog with them. They are very flexible with pick up/drop off times (even letting us pick up late in the evening) and are always super responsive in the app. They sent us lots of pictures and updates during the stay. Absolutely recommend their services!

Our pup loves staying with Sam! He’s excited when he arrives and comes home tired in the best way. We get lots of updates throughout the stay of their fun activities. We will certainly be booking again!
