My pup junior loves going to daycare at Samantha’s. He is super excited each morning for it, plus Samantha sends out pics of him enjoying his day with the fellow pups throughout the day. 10/10 recommend, very handy with my schedule too given i work 12 hour shifts some days. Can’t find these kind of hours available elsewhere.

My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.

Ali is THE only pet sitter we ever use. Two cats AND two large dogs to stress about while we're out of town is a lot but there are ZERO worries when I have Ali taking care of them. She's great about communicating if she has any questions. She always pays close attention to the instructions we leave and doesn't mind going "out of her way" to hang out for some cat cuddles and a dog pile! Highly recommend her for any stressed pet parents planning a get-away!

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Ivy and I met Dax prior to him taking care of her for a day. Easy going, understanding, and an absolute lifesaver. I will be using Dax WEEKLY from here on out I’m sure! His dogs became my pups new best friends. Photos during the daycare day were amazing and communication was better than I could have asked for.

About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule a needed for pet care. I’m available during daytime hours and can provide evening hours as arranged. I have a large grassed area right outside my patio & also a walking trail next to my complex we use often :) I have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.

Kevin was wonderful! I entrusted him to keep my two dogs for a week after I had neck surgery. He kept my 16 year old dog and my new 2 pound puppy. He sent daily updates including pictures which helped me to relax since I had never left the puppy with anyone. He is knowledgeable about dogs behavior, schedules and needs. I could see in the pictures he sent that my dogs were relaxed and enjoying their time with him. I won’t leave my dog with anyone else!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.
