We had a great first experience with Sam! He’s clearly a true dog lover and really knows how to handle new dogs and introductions. He took the time to get to know our pup Tatum/made sure she felt comfortable- and was very responsive/provided updates over the course of her stay with him. We felt totally confident she was in good hands and would happily book again!

Overall, communication + care was great. Lots of photos throughout the day! However, when I picked up my pup he smelled like he was hotboxed all day, which was a bit concerning. Had to bathe him immediately. 😕

Sam is an exceptional dog care professional! He’s also a trainer, and really loves and understands canine communication. After our dogs’ first visit at Sam’s they were tired and very happy!

Sam did an awesome job watching our Samoyed Walker for the weekend, he was available last minute and was super communicative and helpful! Definitely will use again.
