Ziva loved it! Sam sent regular updates and I could really tell she was comfortable with him. She was able to enjoy the yard and make new friends 🙂

Samuel was amazing! I truly have nothing but great things to say. My pup had such a great time playing with the other dog and absolutely loved having a big yard to run around in. Samuel sent me multiple updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind leaving my baby with him. I will 100% be using Samuel again to watch my pup!

The best sitter in Tampa! Percy loves going to stay and loves all the sweet dogs he gets to play with. He always comes back happy and tired, a sign of a great time :)

Schedule

Pet care is fully integrated into our daily routine. Since we work from home, we are always available to supervise, provide attention, and ensure each dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. My girlfriend is actively involved, helping to maintain a structured and fun environment. Mornings typically start with feeding, outdoor time in our spacious backyard, and play sessions. Throughout the day, dogs have access to plenty of supervised free time, mental stimulation, and socialization. Evenings include more outdoor time, cuddles, and winding down for a comfortable night's sleep. Whether it’s a short stay or an extended visit, we make sure every dog feels at home with personalized care, attention, and love.

Knowing about any medical conditions, triggers, or tendencies to be aggressive to other dogs will help in preparing to watch them. Also feeding schedule and amount is beneficial as well.
