Safety, trust & environment

I want your pet to feel at home in my home! Dogs are allowed on furniture, will get all the love they want, plenty of exercise and anything else they may need. I do have a 6 year old daughter and a 2 year old and infant son so meet and greets are very important to me to make sure everyone gets along as safety for all my kids and your dog is so important to me!

Information Sam Y. would like to know about your pet

Being that I have three kids, I do prefer dogs that don't bark too much. Knowing about things like potential food aggression are also things that are important for me know ahead of time.

A typical day

My kids love having a dog around to play with and snuggle up on the couch with them. We enjoy going for walks together, exploring the large green space behind our house and just having them around to be part of our lives with us!

Dog lover currently without a dog!

Pet care experience

I got a German Shepherd puppy for my first birthday and have been caring for pets ever since! I've always had dogs and cats as part of my life and love caring for pets! I also spent some time as a dog walker a few years ago. I also have experience with senior dogs - my pup passed away 5 years ago at the age of 15 and required some special care towards the end. I have been dog sitting with Rover for over 3 years now.

Sam is amazing! Our dog has the best time at her house, and we can always tell she is so well cared for and truly treated like part of the family. We get wonderful pictures every day showing our dog happy, exercised, and loved, which gives us so much confidence and peace of mind while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have found Sam - I’m sure our dog Sophie is too!

Appreciated Sam’s flexibility and communication - Zuzu loved her “vacation”! We know our pup is in good hands with Sam.

Such a special home and young family who were so loving and welcoming to our elderly yorki poo, Jasper. Their home and garden are spacious and very pet friendly. Don't hesitate to book with Sam, your puppy or your cat will be very well cared for.
