Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a tie-out for dogs under 80 lbs. I never leave dogs outside unattended as we do get deer & other critters in the yard, dogs with a flight risk are leashed only. We mainly use it when we relax outside on the warmer days & do yardwork so they can stay close by & lounge with us. We also have baby gates up around the house if dogs need to be seperated for meal-times or need space from eachother for whatever reason, and to keep them out of cat litter & food. You are welcome to bring their crate if preferred, I do have one for small dogs if you cant bring your own.

Information Sammi Z. would like to know about your pet

I am flexible on pretty much any aspect while pet sitting. Please remember to fill me in on all your pets needs during their stay, so I can make sure they are happy, healthy, and perfectly cared for while here!

A typical day

We love the outdoors, so walks will be as often as you'd prefer! High energy dogs are more than welcome too and will get plenty of play time in, ending with lots of snuggles, and the laid back pups are just as welcome here, we love them all equally! If you have a pup you've been working on training, I am happy to keep up with that while they're with us.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Sammi! With over 15 years of experience pet sitting and a background in veterinary medicine, I offer a safe, loving, and experienced home-away-from-home for your dog. I’m a full-time pet sitter with a flexible schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention, snuggles, and care throughout the day. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with my 6-year-old daughter who’s gentle, kind, and loves helping care for our furry guests. We also share our home with four cats, so I’m no stranger to multi-pet households and creating harmony between animals. Dogs of all ages and breeds are welcome here and I'm fear-free certified! Whether your pup is a playful puppy or a sweet senior, they’ll enjoy: Two daily walks & potty breaks as needed Access to furniture for lounging and cuddles Crates if preferred (your own) Baby gates to help with mealtime separation or quiet time Medication administration if needed We’re located in a safe neighborhood perfect for walks and outdoor time. While I’m currently not accepting cat sitting requests in my own home, dogs will have my full attention and care in a cozy, structured, and peaceful environment. Small critters are welcome too & can be kept safe from other animals. I’d love to meet your pup and help them feel right at home while you’re away!

Sammi and her little girl are wonderful with my dog. Zoey gets so excited when I drop her off with them. It makes my time away much less stressful!!!

Sammie took great care of Zoey and is very professional. She kept me posted on how Zoey was doing and also sent pictures. I will definitely book with her again!

Sammi is ALWAYS amazing. She took care of my sweet senior boy and made sure he was loved and taken out frequently. She communicated exceptionally well and I was able to feel at ease while away.
