Sam has watched our two Boston terriers several times while we were out of town. He is attentive and caring with our dogs who are very attached to people. He also is thoughtful about providing updates about how the dogs are doing while we are gone. Our dogs are excited to see him when he comes over. Additionally, Sam stays in our home with the dogs so they aren't lonely. He takes great care of our home with all of the necessary housekeeping duties which is helpful for our dogs to keep a regular schedule while we travel. I highly recommend Sam for your pets.
