Just Like Home Doggy Daycare

Hi everyone! I have been an animal lover all of my life. We do currently offer care in our home and will gladly come to you. One thing to note for guests in our home - our backyard is so fun, but is only partially fenced! My dog has great recall and remains in the yard, but most guests may need to remain leashed while we’re outside. The full east side is fenced, partial south side is fenced, and then the west side is my neighbors currently empty homes. We do not live on a busy street. I worked in animal rescue for 2 years where I cleaned kennels, walked dogs, found dogs and cats their forever homes, gave shots and other medications when needed, fostered different dogs and cats in my home, and whatever else you can think of in animal rescue. I absolutely loved it, but chose to stay home when my second child was born. I have been fostering, walking, dropping in, etc since. Being a stay at home mom, I am always available and would love to visit with your dog during the day, overnight, or just for walks! I am available for last minute bookings and holidays. Do you have other animals at home that need care while you're gone? Cats, hamsters, turtles, whatever you need covered, let's chat about their needs and we can create a custom quote for them as well.

Duke and Peaches loved staying with Samantha over the holidays. She sent me pictures daily of how they were doing which relieved my anxiety of leaving them behind for a few days. I would definitely recommend Samantha for your pet vacation stay.

Samantha was amazing with my 2 Great Danes! She gave them lots of love and went above and beyond offering to take them for walks. She also was extremely helpful and accommodating when I reached out needing last minute care. Highly recommend and would definitely have her watch my pups again!

Beau had a great time with Samantha and her family. She sent me updates throughout my trip and made me feel so at ease and able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Thanks again for welcoming Beau into your home while we were away! :)

All I need to know is if your dog is kid and dog friendly. I wouldn’t bring my children to your home for visits or anything, but if the dog is kid friendly then on occasion the kids may come to walk and play with us, if it’s okay with you. If your dog has any special needs or special care required, please let me know that as well. Be as detailed as possible with their routine and what you'd like me to do for them daily!
