Married no kids, spoil dogs instead

Pet care experience

We’ve taken both our dogs through professional training courses and are well in tune with dog body language. Experience handling senior dogs and dogs that have seizures. We are often the people that friends use as a dog sitter since we are dog lovers and have such a flexible schedule. My goal is to make your pup feel like they’re on a relaxing vacation - not just away from you.

Easy and prompt communication, very ready to answer my questions. It was a delight to meet Sam and his own lovely doggies. It he clear that he cares very much for his charges. He was an instant hit with my dog which was very reassuring. I felt very comfortable leaving our boy with Sam and received frequent updates and photos.

If it was possible to give Sam extra stars I would be first in line. The last few times I left Oliver at a highly regarded boarding inn he was a mess when I picked him up. Oliver is a people dog and will be your friend for life if you let him sit on your feet all day. I owe Sam a very big thank you as Oliver looked better when I picked him up than when I dropped him off. What a loving gentle soul Sam is. Many many thanks, Sam!

Our dog was so happy while she was with Sam. She always had someone to play with and someone to snuggle with. Sam took great care of Sally and we hope she can go there again!

Sam was amazing with our dog! He was super responsive and sent multiple updates with pics so that we could rest assured that our pup was safe and happy. Highly recommend.

We have a fully fenced in yard, several security cameras, hard wood floors. Our guest pets often get extra attention and cuddles during their stay. If they are comfortable with it, we often give them a big fuzzy dog bed and bundle them up in a blanket. During feeding time, we put our dogs downstairs so our guest pets can feel comfortable eating at their own pace.
