Safety, trust & environment

I have recently opened a doggie hotel behind our house. Each doggie “room” includes a covered and enclosed porch to enjoy the nature. The doggie hotel has AC/heat, LED lighting, fully hoseable, continuous drainage and much more. It use veterinarian grade cleaners/sanitation. There are four fenced in areas on the property that allows your pets to be able to run free and have a great time! The largest fenced in area being an acre! They are not limited to the doggie hotel - boarded pets are welcome to our house as long as they are cat and child friendly. There are plenty of toys to play with but you can of course bring your pets favorite toy(s) just so they feel more comfortable. I recommend you to bring their dog bed/toys to make them feel more at home. Please let me know ahead of time if your pet is dog/cat/food/toy aggressive. I do not have my pets interact with others unless the client is ok with it and I feel comfortable with it. I welcome all sizes, ages and breeds into my house!

Vet technician experience

Pet care experience

Animals are everything to me! I was previously a veterinary technician, however, life happened and I had to find a higher paying job to accommodate life changes. I have grown up with animals my whole life; cats, dogs, rabbits, exotic birds. I am very knowledgeable, reliable, understanding, easy going, caring, professional and kind. I will treat your pets as if they are my own; meaning they will be absolutely spoiled and loved while in my care! I can provide additional services; nail trims, baths, ear cleanings, etc. You name it and I’ll work with you!

Samantha was a god send, she was able to accommodate my 2 dogs at the last minute as I had to go out of town for a family death. She sent me updates of the dogs and pictures. The dogs looked so happy in the pictures. My golden was being picky one day and didnt want to eat and Samantha spruced up her food and she gobbled it down. I would definitely book my dogs with her again. Thanks so much for loving my babies!

Samantha was awesome! She was willing to watch my dog Benji on short notice due to a beach trip. Samantha was very friendly and made sure to make my dog feel comfortable at home. She also ensured to send picture updates of how my dog was doing as his first time. Thank you again! I highly recommend!

Samantha was everything and MORE we could have ever asked for! She was very reassuring and eased all of our nerves as anxious dog parents! She gave several updates and treated our pup as her own. We will definitely use Samantha again when we are back in the area!
