Pet care experience

I care about your pets

Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.

Sam was an excellent communicator and took great care of our dogs. We got tons of pictures and they seemed very happy while we were at the Outer Banks for the week.

Sam took great care of our two doxies. She even took them to a dachshund meetup, which judging by the pictures she sent us, they thoroughly enjoyed! Our dogs were very relaxed when we picked them up, which told us they were not stressed at all. We will definitely book with Sam in the future!

Sam was an excellent sitter for my dachshund. I received lots of updates (even from a creek!), and he seems to have had a lot of fun. I can tell he enjoyed staying with Sam and I will definitely bring him back :) 5 stars all around

Sam is great with small dogs! I left my Dachshund/Terrier mix with her for Christmas and she had a great time! Sam is also very communicative and flexible when unexpected scheduling things happen. Thank you so much for taking care of my Eva!
