Nice chill couple..ps WE LOVE DOGS!

Pet care experience

MaryGrace and Sam each have many years' experience caring for doggies (never cats, but, we are open to it!). MaryGrace is most familiar with smaller dogs, while Sam grew up with and loves bigger dogs. Sam is a full-time work-from-home 9-5er with daytime flexibility. MaryGrace is full time grad student and also has lots of scheduling flexibility. We are both extreme softies for canines: conscientious, playful, and believe in a fine balance of spoiling and carefully disciplining our pups. When it comes to safety, though, we are both pretty type A. We take no chances. Our house is nice and warm, we have a big fenced yard, and live close to several public parks. MG is a morning chickadee, Sam is a night owl, so, we have you covered.

Sam and MaryGrace were amazing with our Riley! I get anxiety leaving our dog but Sam and MG were great with communication and put us at ease. Would use them again.

Sam and MaryGrace are the most respectful, attentive, responsible and loving dog caregivers ever. I have seen them on countless occasions interact with their own dog and other dogs. They became deeply educated about everything involving dogs in general and their specific breed of dog when they became dog owners and they worked to get her properly dog- and person-socialized after adopting her as an adult dog. They attend to their dog as though she were their child! They feed her well, take her on long walks daily and bring her to the dog park (weather permitting), play with her off-leash in their fenced back yard, and make sure she is warm enough with outdoor sweaters and booties when it is cold out (she is a small mixed breed dog); when taking walks, they often converse with other dog owners, always interested in learning about the neighborhood dogs. They take her for her vet visits reliably and generally adore her and give her a lot of love and attention. I cannot more highly recommend Sam and MaryGrace as dog caregivers.

When I had to go out of town unexpectedly due to a family emergency, Sam and MaryGrace were lifesavers! I was worried to leave my golden retriever puppy alone for the first time and they put all my worries at ease. He stayed with them for 3 days and immediately fell in love with MaryGrace's gentle nature and Sam's excitement! It's hard to leave your fur baby with anyone, but if you have to, it's great to have people you can count on.

Sam took care of my GSD/Belgian Malinois dog, Ponzu. I'm a first time dog mom, so I was terrified to leave my baby with anyone but myself. I couldn't have left him in better hands. Ponzu has separation anxiety and is rather annoying to walk (of course I still love him and all his zest for life!). Sam is very patient and understanding. I highly recommend him as a caring, trustworthy dog sitter/walker.
