Pet care experience

Dog loving couple with 2 dogs

Hi there! We are excited to share our family with yours! Our family includes Thomas, myself (Sam), our son (3 years old), and two energetic pups, Echo and Polaris. We are huge dog lovers, both of us have grown up with dogs our whole lives from Malteses to Pointers, Australian Shepards to Rottweilers, and could not imagine life without them. Thomas and I have known each other since college and when we finally were able to live and work in the same place, getting a couple dogs of our own was our top priority! Now I work from home and am excited to introduce your pup(s) to our family for a fun and loving stay! Depending on your dogs needs and preference they can get lots of cozy time inside, lots of play time, and outside time. We are able to adapt our schedule to their meal time and bathroom needs.

Sam and Thomas took such good care of our pup! They were really thoughtful about making sure she was comfortable with their dogs and with them and sent regular updates. We'd love to have Vera stay with them again!

Sam and Thomas took great care of our golden retriever, keeping us posted (including with photos!) about how she was doing and being super responsive to my questions. Will definitely board our pup with them again!

Sam and Thomas were absolute gems! They texted me every day with pictures of my dog, Paige, and gave me glowing reviews about how she was doing. Sam and Thomas are so kind and sweet, and it’s a huge bonus that they have their own two dogs and a small child, so that my dog is socialized properly and gets practice staying calm around the little one. They have a beautiful fenced in backyard too, which gives me a lot of comfort that Paige doesn’t have any risk of escaping. Overall, this family is so kind and are genuine people. I feel so grateful to have found them and will continue to rely on them for my future trips if they would like to host Paige again!

Schedule

Between both of our professions and schedules, we are able to ensure that one of us is always available to give your 4-legged family member all of the attention and care they need. Sam works predominantly from home and only has to go into the office once every couple weeks. We try to arrange our schedules so that for short stays someone is always home and for long stays there may just be a day or two that we have to be gone for 4-6 hours during the week. Friday-Sunday we can always have someone at home for the pups.

Safety, trust & environment

Over the years we have happily watched our family and friend's dogs (in addition to some other small mammals, fish, and reptiles). It is not a surprise if we go home for a visit just to help trim nails and take walks with family dogs. We have used Rover for our dogs before and cannot share our appreciation enough for the families and hosts that have taken such good care of our pups and are excited to open up our home to do the same. We believe positive reinforcement and providing lots of exercise is the way to go. Our girls Echo and Polar get lots of love and cuddle time when they are not doing laps around the house and outside. They are full of energy and excited to welcome any new guest (human or dog) into our home with lots of playtime. Our dogs are very good with our young son and we will only accept dogs that are equally good with kids. We look forward to answering any questions you have in order to help you make the best decision for you and your dog. We hope to be able to learn more about your dog and meet you all soon! - Sam & Thomas
