We limit dogs at 3 so your dog gets the full care and attention it needs. We also have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to run out any doors. It’s my mission to make sure your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you. I also send 3 updates per day with a picture so you know how your dog is doing.

Information Sam H. would like to know about your pet

Because I have children, is your dog aggressive? Is your dog crate trained? Does your dog require medication or does it have any allergies? Is your pet on a special diet?

A typical day

Mornings usually start at 7am with potty time, I then prepare meals at 8am, after the dogs eat we wait about 30 minutes and then I let the dogs back out to potty and have play time. While outside.. I love to play fetch with dogs, run around the backyard, and swim (if your dog enjoys it). For the rest of the day I let the dogs out every 2-3 hours for potty and outdoor play but when they are inside they are getting spoiled with cuddles and attention (especially from my 6 yr old). Dinner is typically around 5-6pm, followed by a potty break and a small treat before bed at 9pm. Please let me know if your dog is on a special diet as I do like to reinforce good behavior with lots of treats!

Pets

Sam H. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

24 hr care with large backyard

Pet care experience

I have 15 years of experience caring for elderly dogs, puppies, and the overly hyper/anxious. My calm and loving home environment is the soothing, happy place your dog deserves when it can’t be with you. In addition, your dog will always be part of my family. No cold kennels or being locked away with limited play time. Your dog will sleep where it wants, get lots of attention/cuddles, get spoiled with treats, and have plenty of time to play outside and just be a happy dog.

June can’t wait to come back

Sam was a new sitter for us, as our regular sitter wasn’t available, but from the moment I booked with her, I knew June would be in great hands. June felt right at home the second I dropped her off, and I received multiple pictures each day showing all the fun she was having. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Sam took wonderful care of June, and I highly recommend her as a sitter.

I will definitely book with Sam again, she sent several photos each day and I picked up a very happy dog at the end of my trip. Layla is exhausted so I know she had a great time!
