Pet care experience
My husband, Max and I have both grown up with and cared for dogs for most of our lives. Max and I also have our own dog, Ziggy, whom we absolutely spoil and adore! We are both wildlife biologists and true animal lovers. Between my flexible schedule and Max’s work from home schedule, we can assure that your pet will be in the best possible care while you are away! In addition to caring for your dog(s), we can also provide care for scaly critters too as we have years of experience caring for snakes and lizards.
Reviews
Samantha and Max were awesome with my pup Bowman. Bowman can be nervous at first and need some time to adjust. Samantha and Max were very patient with him. They also were great with sending pictures and communication. Highly recommend them!
Sam and Max did a great job introducing Poppy to their home. Poppy is shy at first. I worried she would be scared. But she is excited to go there each morning and greets them enthusiastically. She feels comfortable there and has a great time.
I've known Sam & Max for ~15 years and was truly impressed when they recently watched over my dog. As herpetologists, they possess an in-depth understanding of animal behavior which translates wonderfully to pet care. Their expertise ensures they are always tuned into the needs of any animal they are looking after. They are not only knowledgeable but also compassionate, making them the perfect choice for short-term or long-term pet care. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and loving petsitter
About Samantha & Max S.

Safety, trust & environment
We want to make sure your dog is comfortable in our home, as being away from home can be overwhelming and scary for a dog! For this reason, we will only board dogs from the same household at one time- unless previously discussed with both clients. If your dog boards with us, there may be some overlap with doggy daycare guests, but we limit doggy daycare to dogs from two households or less. This allows us to provide the best care for your dog without trying to split up our attention between too many pups! We have a large, completely fenced in backyard and live on a quiet street. Our own dog, Ziggy is crate trained and sleeps in his crate and stays in his crate if we need to leave the house. We can provide an additional crate for your pet if need be. We can accommodate feeding separately and separate time out in the yard, however Ziggy plays great with others and would love a friend to run around with! That being said, we encourage arranging a meet up between our pups before you have yours come to stay to make sure everyone will gel!

Information Samantha & Max S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific behaviors or needs so that we can provide the best possible care for your dog.
A typical day
On weekdays, your dog can expect plenty of time out in the yard as well as a short walk in the evening. We typically play a few rounds of fetch with our own dog every day. On weekends and weather dependent we can take dogs for hikes and longer walks.

Availability
I am a graduate student at Clemson and have a variable schedule, however Max works from home so we can assure that there will almost always be somebody around to keep an eye on your fur baby! With that said, we can accommodate frequent potty breaks and playtime outside as well as short walks in the evenings! Typically, on the weekends we like to go on hikes or longer walks so if your pup is up for it, we would be happy to bring them for some extra exercise.
