Safe Haven Boarding/ Sitting

I have have taken care of dogs of all sizes for over 15 yrs. I have 4 of my own ranging in size and age. I also fostered for a couple years, helping puppy mill dogs learn how to live life. Rehabilitating mistreated dogs to learn how to play, potty train, trust people, go up and down stairs and become happy pups again. I have 3 older children 9, 13 and 16 that have my same passion for dogs. Excited to take care of your baby and give them love while your away!

I felt very comfortable leaving my boy Sheldon! He seems sad to be bored at home! Thank you to this wonderful family for snuggling my boy to sleep each night!

Samantha was great! Very communicative and obviously is an animal lover. Very kind, and I look forward to my animal staying with her again in the future!

Samantha and her family were great care takers! They took our pup last minute and he was so happy to run around in the backyard and play with her other dogs. She sent updates and would keep us in the loop with how he was doing. Would recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs would be dropped off or come over for a meet and great. I have 4 of my own dogs that are extremely socialized due to fostering. Never have had any issues. I have a big fenced backyard that the dogs can run around in. If it’s sunny out, I like to leave the door open so they can come in and out as they please. Dogs will be crated at night if they are not potty trained. If your dog is stressed or has severe anxiety etc, they will sleep with us so they know they are safe. I keep multiple bowls of dog food down and have taught my dogs not to be aggressive. If you bring your own food, I will separate your dog so he/she can eat their own food alone. We do allow dogs on the couch and in bed with us. I do have a basement setup with couches, toys and crates of varying sizes. They will have a blanket and you with them in each crate. Any messes will be washed out and exchanged for clean bedding each day.
