My Spouse, Tracy, and I both work from home, so spending time with the dogs is always a highlight in our day. Our huskies are super nice and also very playful, so any additional company is always fun. - Once safety is covered, we try and have lots of fun! We average going out in the yard at least once an hour to throw the ball and let the doggies play. Dog parties are the best 🐕🐕🐕

FAQ’s: - We do supervise all dog play. - The dogs sleep inside separated into their own room (TV room, dining room, etc.) whether or not they sleep in a crate. We are open to custom sleeping arrangements if needed. - Feeding times are the typical AM/PM schedule, but, since we’re usually home, we are available to accommodate specialized feeding schedules. - We do inspect all dogs for ticks or foxtails after walks and always stay on maintained paths/trails to avoid any unwanted hitchhikers all together. - Working from home, there is usually someone at the house, but if we need to leave together, we don’t leave any dogs home for more than 4 hours. - Yes! We love sharing photos and videos of your pup during their stay 📸

Information Sam H. would like to know about your pet
We do require a meet and greet before the first booking to make sure our dogs all get along. We have the option to separate the dogs when needed, but ideally all of the dogs can share the yard together. We'll be sure to have a proper introduction and continue supervision during your pups stay. Please of course notify us of any other health issues, eating habits, or notable traits your dog may have.
A typical day
I love playing in the yard with our dog guests. If everyone is behaving with toys, it's fun to play fetch and tug-o-war out here. We live on the edge of a beautiful nature preserve, called Day Island. It's got great hiking trails, so there are many options to walk with the pups. I'm always careful to keep the dogs on the path in case of any unwanted hitchhikers!

Nice fenced in yard in the country!
Pet care experience
Dog safety is #1. Interesting fact: I was a designated Dog Runner for several years in Chicago. I’ve always had various animal caretaking jobs throughout my life, but now I feel like I am in the peak of my career with my own two huskies! I do love taking care of them and it’s always great to have company over for them to play with. Our fenced in yard is really ideal for a dog play vacation. We do love frequent supervised group play, but if needed we have extra crate space or rooms to give our pups a little alone time. Mainly, we just try to provide a safe space and the proper supervision for the dogs to be comfortable and have a great day playing together.
Reviews
Excellent experience! I’ve boarded Zorro at Sam and Tracy’s twice and have had a wonderful experience. Excellent communication and amazing picture updates. I know that Zorro always has a great time there.
Sam took great care of our husky. Updated us with pictures and videos of him playing with his two dogs and out on walks.
Luna had a great time staying with Sam! She got plenty of play time and walks with Storm and Winter. Sam was very communicative, giving us daily updates, and took some amazing photos of Luna. We will definitely have Luna stay with Sam in the future!
Thank you so much Sam as always! Apollo must had fun and now he is tired and sleeping :) Thank you!!!
