Active Fam🐶🐱Home FT, Fenced Yard!

I have been a pet lover my whole life. In our home, our pets are our family and we will treat yours as family as well! Our herd currently consists of a big, lovable male lab, a feisty tabby farm-cat, and an albino snow corn snake. I am comfortable with all types of animals, so please don’t hesitate to reach out for exotic pet-care too. Our dog absolutely loves company. He is a social butterfly and will provide a lot of fun for your fur-baby! My husband and I are very active, so rest-assured your pets will receive plenty of attention and exercise. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind while you are away from your loved one and provide a fun and active environment for your pet! Drop Off Time: 8:00AM (or later) Pick Up Time: 5:00PM (or earlier) I am happy to work with your schedule! Please be aware that pickup/drop off times outside of the above hours will incur an extended daycare fee. ROVER PAYMENT TERMS If the end time is scheduled 2-8 hours later than the start time on the first day, your clients will be charged an additional 50% of your daily rate. (Example: If your nightly rate is $30, your extended care rate for an additional 2-8 hours is $15.) If the end time is scheduled 8+ hours later than the start time on the first day, your clients will be charged the full price of an extra day. (Example: If your nightly rate is $30, your extended care rate for an additional 8+ hours is $30.) I have a fenced in backyard and a dog that loves play dates! Our pets are on a feeding schedule twice per day. We can easily accommodate to your pet’s routine. Large crate in our family room is provided for bedtime but can discuss other options if you prefer. We want your pet to be as comfortable as possible and find that sticking to your routine is best!

I don't know what we'd do without Sam! She is truly a God-send. She loves our high-maintenance Golden as her own!

We appreciate Sam so much! She continues to be an important part of this dog family's life and I have no worries about her care and attention to our fur baby while away for multiple days. Thank you for all you do Sam, Tex and family!

Sam is awesome! She takes excellent care of my Auggie, an 85lb Golden Retriever. Sam administers meds and cares for my boy like he's her own. Auggie adores Sam and Tex, Sam's Yellow Lab. Tex is such a sweet soul and him and Auggie are BFFs.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 19, 2025

Sam takes incredible care of my boy, treats him like family. My Golden is almost 4 years old and Sam has cared for him through weekly daycare and boarding for over 3 years (since Nov 2021). Sam administers medications with no issues and her lab Tex is the sweetest boy and best of friends to my Golden boy. Thank you Sam and family!

Sam takes care of my Golden Retriever as if he's her own. I couldn't ask for a better caretaker/family for my fur baby.

A typical day

I will treat your furbabies as my own. We go on walks every day and play lots of fetch! If the weather is not ideal we will still have plenty of fun! We have lots of indoor toys and they are free to roam the house as I am home full time. With your permission they may receive a treat or two:)

I accept all sizes as long as your pets get along with my furbabies and kiddos! I am happy to do a meet-and-greet for a smooth transition. In order to make your pet's stay as comfortable as possible, I would like to know any special needs your pet may have. Does your pet have any fears or require any special attention? Are they more comfortable in a kennel or free to roam? May they have 1-2 treats during their visit?
