Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. The first thing I do every morning before leaving for work is take my dog Molly and any other dogs we have in the home for a long walk, typically about 1-2 miles. My work schedule is a bit funky, as I work from 10:30-7:30. This gives me a lot of time in the morning to hang out and play. My fiancee gets home around 5 and plays with the dogs at that time. Weekends are pretty similar, as I usually tend to spend time taking dogs to a local park for long walks and lots of fun.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is pet-friendly, clean, and full of space for dogs to play. My dog Molly is also extremely friendly and playful, making for a great environment to wear off some energy. I make sure each dog has a cozy space to relax and I always supervise interactions to ensure that all dogs are safe. If you would like your dog to be crated, I do have an extra crate or am happy to set up whatever you bring. There is plenty of space to separate dogs in the home as well if it is needed or desired. Fun and safety are my top priorities!

Information Samuel S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I love to learn as much as I can to make sure they feel safe and happy! It is helpful to know their daily routine, any quirks or fears, how they do on walks and around other animals, and if they have any other needs like medication or special dietary restrictions. Anything that you can do to help me make your pets stay as comfortable as possible is all that I am looking for!

A typical day

Every day is an adventure when pets are involved! A typical day might include sniff-filled walked around the neighborhood or local parks, playtime in the backyard with toys, and plenty of cuddles and attentions throughout the day. I tailor activities based on each pet’s age, energy level, and preferences. My goal is to keep tails wagging at all times!

We were very comfortable leaving Piper with Samuel. He was responsive in all our communications, before and during Piper's stay. We had minor time changes on both the front and back ends of our booking and he was flexible and able to accommodate us. Most importantly, he got Piper out for walks and she seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up! Would definitely book with Samuel again!

I am usually nervous about boarding my dog Daisy since she is timid around new people but she really liked it here . She seemed to be having a great time here and was well taken care of. I will be rebooking with him again in the future.

Awesome. Samuel took great care of both of my dogs, even making extra stops in to make sure they were doing well during my trip. He took great care of my senior doggo always making sure she had her meds and was comfortable.
