Samantha and James are amazing people aside from caring for George :) They went above and beyond caring of our pup while we were out of town. Samantha was proactive with communication and pics - putting our minds at ease that George was doing well and thriving. We are so incredibly grateful they folded George into their loving home at the last minute with confidence and joy. We would absolutely recommend Samantha and James to any one!

Highly recommend Samantha, we came from out of town to spend Christmas eve and Christmas with my family and she was so flexible with our times to pick up our baby. Thanks to her flexibility we were able to enjoy my family before heading back home. If you’re looking for a pet sitter/boarding she is the one!!!!

Samantha and James were super kind and caring with our little doggy. They handled the introductions of dogs and separation of small and big dogs very well. They sent a lot of photos and updates during her stay with them and we appreciated knowing that she was in safe hands. I would highly recommend them.

Samantha and James were amazing! It was my first time boarding my dog, Milo, and they made me feel very comfortable. I was unsure how Milo would react with his first boarding experience and they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, loved and less anxious. Samantha provided me with updates throughout the week including pictures which made me so happy! I really appreciate the time and detail they took to spend quality time with him and make him feel at home as best as they could! Definitely would recommend boarding with them!

Schedule

My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is home majority of the day. I start my day at 4am taking care of my own dogs and work 8-4. My husband’s home all day and leaves for work at 2:30 so your beloved family member will have around the clock care!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6ft privacy fence. I also am very trained in crate and rotating dogs if need be. I am equipped in medication administration as I have two personal dogs on daily meds. I have been trained on how to properly introduce dogs and have fostered many dogs over the past few years. I also have the room and availability to keep your pup separate from other dogs in the home if need be.

Pets

A typical day

I love to start the day by giving the dogs exercise in the yard and then individual morning walks with enrichment training. I also have puzzle games for dogs such as freezing dog treats in kings and lick mats.
