Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs I can account for! I have cared for breeds like Shar pei and boxers who had frequent health problems throughout their lives. Does your dog or dogs have any dietary restrictions? What is your dogs sleeping schedule, do they sleep in a crate?

A typical day

I think mental and physical stimulation is very important with dogs so I will not hesitate to give that! I like to give puzzles, make them problem solve, get on exercise balls, go for walks, play in water, and of course cuddle!

Beans had a wonderful time staying with Samantha! We got lots of pictures of her playing with the other pups, she clearly had a blast and slept real well when we got home! It was our first time leaving Beans with a sitter before, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you!
