Information Samantha A. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog okay in their crate (or loose in the house) for 6 hours? Is your dog up to date on vaccinations? Where does your pup sleep?

A typical day

We typically get a walk in during the day around the country roads in our neighborhood. We live on a dead-end road on five acres, so very low traffic.

Big Love for Big Dogs

Pet care experience

Welcome to the house where the dogs outnumber the humans in both energy and enthusiasm! We’re a lively, dog-loving family who walks (and occasionally jogs… when we’re feeling ambitious). Our resident pack includes an 8-year-old wise woman of a dog who enjoys short play sessions followed by long naps in sunbeams—and a 2-year-old mutt who thinks every guest is here to start a game of tag. They both love other dogs and people, and have excellent references. :) We’ve fostered more dogs than we can count—some with quirks, some with diapers, some with more sass than sense. We’re comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. If your pup has a weird habit, chances are we’ve seen weirder (and probably let it sleep in our bed). Long story short: your dog will be treated like family—spoiled and sent home happy. Vaccinated pets only please. Please note: pickups after 9:00 PM must be pre-approved, otherwise, it may be considered a sleepover and subject to an additional fee. (Our dogs get cranky if their bedtime is disrupted… and so do we.)

Samantha was very responsive and kept me updated. She has a beautiful home and well-maintained yard. Her two dogs got along well with Freyja during the stay, however there was an incident that resulted in Freyja (my dog) having a bite mark on her stout due to rough play. From my understanding, it was simply an accident but definitely something to consider when having large dogs all together. I will continue to keep using Samantha and very happy with the stay!

Booked a daycare visit for our pup and Samantha was great. Our pup was very cautious to be left w/o us for the first time, but Samantha was amazing keeping us in the loop with the progress as she got acquainted. I appreciate the honest updates and the kind patience she had with our girl. Will definitely book again as times arrive we need a kind and patient sitter. Thank you Samantha!

Samantha was very accommodating with our schedule and I felt relief knowing Enzo was going somewhere safe and where he loved to be.
