I Sit, they Stay, you Play!
Pet care experience
My name is Sam and I am an avid animal lover with 2 dogs of my own. My tiny humans and dogs are my priority. I'm happy to add your pup to my list of priorities as well. This is my full time gig, so having your furchild stay with us means extra attention and around the clock supervision! I keep plenty of toys & healthy treats on hand, (thanks to Barkbox! - Ask for my link for 1 FREE Box), so all I usually need you to bring is your pup, their food and bed/blanket are optional. If you would like to bring a crate, check with me first, as I may have your pup's size available to use. (The bigger ones can be a pain to lug around!) If you have any questions/concerns, don't hesitate to ask . I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby soon! **Follow my Instagram account, sams_stay_n_play for picture updates of my 2 pups and even yours as well! (If you don't have Instagram, don't worry, I send text pictures/updates) When school is back in session so I am unavailable for drop offs/pick ups between 7a-745a and 230p-4p. Other than that, I'm home with the pups majority of the day. I'd also like to keep late pickups to about 8p, but I understand sometimes travel can be a cause for change and I will do my best to make exceptions. I Have a pretty good sized yard, all fenced in. I clean all my bowls and crates after each use. I also send in the robot vacs for constant hair removal :)
Reviews
Sam is our go to south Austin sitter! She takes great care of our pups and her location is convenient to the airport as she is on the southeast side of Austin. 10/10 would recommend her.
Sam did a great job caring for my 65lb silver Lab, Luna. Sam provided several pics of Luna at play and engaging with the other dogs, which I very much appreciated.
Henry had a great time with Samantha! She took excellent care of him and kept us updated throughout the entirety of his stay. Would absolutely recommend booking with her!
The best dog sitter in Austin. Samantha has worked around our busy schedule twice now and is very understanding. We appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful person to watch their fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard that has been secured efficiently to prevent escapees (I have huskies which are obvious escape artists so I'm used to being on high alert, however, if your dog can jump a 6ft fence, please let me know!!). Also for safety purposes, I feed everyone separately and wash bowls in between dogs.
Home
Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet
- Does your dog have any allergies,? - Are they resource aggressive (food and/or toys)? - Do they have separation anxiety? - Are they crate trained? (not required)
A typical day
Your pup will enjoy running/relaxing in the yard or staying in the "Dog Room" inside the house with some playmates to keep them feeling comfortable. During the hot months, I may fill up the "puppy pool" for some outside fun. Otherwise we all stay inside with the air on, where it's much nicer and refreshing for everyone.

Availability
All 3 of my kids are now in school, as well as extracurriculars, so while I have more free time to spend with the dogs, I do run out for errands/appointments/etc here and there. If i'm out, it's typically not more than an hour or two during the week. Weekends may be longer but, I always make sure everyone is secure and has gone out to potty before I leave. Please be courteous when dropping off and picking up - If you're running late, let me know. Most times, I'm pretty flexible :)
