Pet care experience
My name is Sam, I am 35 years old and work from home as a freelance graphic designer. I love dogs, big and small, and I am very responsible with them. I grew up with, and have had several dogs as pets, and I have a calming presence which animals seem to appreciate. I am very reliable, dependable, and honest. I live in a medium-size house with a large backyard with pet turf that the dogs have access to all day. The dogs all sleep inside, either in a play pen in the living room or in my bedroom. I have a lot of dog knowledge and I have a great safety record. I have been taking care of pets on and off since I was 12 years old and I enjoy it very much!
Reviews
I've had great experiences with Sam previously, but when I left my pup Luka with him for a longer trip he lost a dramatic amount of weight in the 2 weeks and it wasn't until I followed up about it Sam explained he barely ate any of his food the first week and only portions of some meals after that. Sam was very transparent after the fact, but I was extremely surprised he didn't let me know after the first couple days, I would have had simple suggestions for getting Luka to eat.
Sam T was great. Lots of updates and photos. Will come back next time, for sure. Thanks Sam!
Burlap loves going to Sam's.
We highly recommend Sam for doggie daycare and overnight boarding! He provided excellent care for our dog Boots, who absolutely loved spending time with him and enjoying his big backyard / play area. It was great knowing Boots had other doggie friends to play with too and had some love and attention from Sam while we were gone. Sam kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be returning to Sam for future dog-sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment
I have all of the dogs hanging out together freely inside and outside. The higher energy dogs typically like to play outside most of the day. They have access to water, dog beds, and toys throughout the day. I always make sure to separate them during feeding time. I have a large playpen area in the living room where the pups sleep overnight.

Information Sam T. would like to know about your pet
• I am not taking on Siberian Huskies at this time • Drop-off & Pick-up times are 8 AM – 8 PM • I typically have high-energy dogs every day and they are together all day so I can only take on dogs that are friendly and socialized to be with other dogs, large and small
A typical day
I have quite a few daycare regulars so I usually have some fun dogs that love to play with other dogs so they keep each other busy playing around in the backyard

Sam can host
Availability
I am home full-time. I have my work space set up in the living room overlooking the backyard so I'm able to supervise the pups and stay close by while they hang out together. Most of the dogs prefer to play in the backyard but they go in and out of the house throughout the day.
