Very Friendly Dog Boarding/sitting

Pet care experience

We have fostered, rescued and owned dogs from over 15 yrs and have a great back yard which is fenced in all around. We usually have fosters here which makes your pets stay here very warm, enjoyable and friendly. Depending on the dogs nature , it can sleep on its own bed, in a crate or on the couches in the living room. This is a fun house and dogs love being here!! Almost all of the dog owners we have sat for have given us great reviews and we have several repeat clients! We also send you pictures of your puppy enjoying the stay here and sometimes videos. So you can have a great carefree vacation without worrying about your pet ! ! !

Sam did a great job with our golden doodle. He sent lots of photos so the kids would not worry about her. Great communication and dog care!

Sam has taken care of my two dogs numerous times now. One time, they stayed for 2 months straight while we traveled and never had an issue. I trust him completely because he's kind and caring towards them. He takes great care and gives them plenty of love and attention. They also love his big backyard to run around in. My dogs love him and enjoy staying over. Each time I've picked them up, they are happy and healthy. I will continue to book Sam for dog boarding services as long as he's available.

PLEASE check the surroundings! I was very grateful that the sitter was able to take a last minute booking. He was very nice and accommodating. However, the state of the front yard was filled with trash and lots of debris. It wasn’t until I picked my dogs up that I was able to see inside the actual house and the overwhelming smell of pet urine and dog feces was horrendous. I am really baffled by the all of the positive reviews as this was not a safe and healthy place for pets or humans. Very unsanitary! We were headed out of town last minute and our usual sitter was not available. I would not have left my dogs here if I had seen the inside of the property but the owner was very cautious of not letting that be seen. For the love of your pets and for the health and safety for their well being, please do not use this sitter. There are other sitters who will do meet and greets in their home to show the safety and hygiene that should be provided. The conditions of this sitters home and property were deplorable at best and should be reported to the city and animal control

Sam took care of my 1 year old Beagle for a week; he has a nice fenced backyard with a couple of crab apple trees and frequent doggy guests if your dog likes to be social. He sent photos and even treated my pup to a bone with frozen peanut butter. If you dog is happy having some friends around, this could be a good place to visit:)

Information Sam B. would like to know about your pet

We would like every owner to make sure that the dog has been given preventative tick and flea and heartworm medication before they leave their pet with us. As we have a huge fenced in backyard and there is grass and lots of insects, bugs and maybe fleas and ticks the dog might get bit by them. We are always with your pet in the backyard but we cannot prevent everything. We also would like to know if your pet is allergic to anything or any food.

We play with the pets in our back yard.
