Active Fam🐶🐱Home FT, Fenced Yard!

Pet care experience

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!

Sam cares for my 80lb Golden like family. He loves going to Sams and loves her dog Tex! I was just telling my husband yesterday that I don't know what we'd do without Sam. Our dog, Auggie, needs several eye drops daily and other supplements and Sam cares for Auggie like family. Sam watches Auggie for daycare and boards him for us when we go out of town. Sam is such a blessing to Auggie and us!

Sam is an attentive caregiver and cares for my high-maintenance boy as if he's her own. My Auggie has a second family with Sam and he loves his days there. When we go on a trip, Sam is the only person I trust to care for my Auggie Bear. She is a literal God-send.

I had complete and total peace of mind leaving my fur babies with Sam. She was incredible at communicating, and was warm, and friendly. The dogs even ate dinner and treats while they were with her which shocked me, given that I know they don’t do that when they’re under stress. Obviously, they were just as comfortable with her as I was. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Information Sam B. would like to know about your pet

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?

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:)
