Information Sam L. would like to know about your pet

My dog is very friendly and gets along with dogs and people. Let me know if there is any special needs required for your dog to ensure that I can care for it. Meet & Greet takes place at my home to ensure your dog is comfortable around.

A typical day

I work from home Monday to Friday. My dog loves to go for a walk around the park trail behind my home. I take him at least 3 times a day. He likes to meet other dogs and play around. At home, he gets lots of love, attention, and treats. He is on a routine and likes to remind me when it is time for his walk and dinner.

Sam took perfect care of our girl Coco. He even gave us some much needed tips on socialization. Coco was very happy and loved spending time with Happy.

We had a wonderful experience with Sam! Great communication, prompt updates, photos throughout the stay, and excellent care for Chewbacca. Drop-off and pickup were easy, and we appreciated the walks and attention he gave our dog while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely use him again! 🐾
