About Sam

Hello, my name is Sam and my husband's name is Hentie. I am a doggie mom to my 2 fur babies, Dobby and Bailey, so I know how animals need love and attention while you are away. They will be treated as if they were my own and give you a peace of mind that they are in a safe environment and have 24 hour care so you do not have to worry about them while you are away. I have owned dogs all my life and have been a volunteer at dog shelters for almost 15 years and have experience with behavioral problems, separation anxiety, disability and medication administration if needed.

Updates and photos will be sent so you know how they are doing the whole time. I have a fully fenced back yard where they can go in and out as they please. They can sleep in bed with me if they wish or you are welcome to bring their own bedding to feel more comfortable. My 2 dogs love having a playmate and they get along with all breeds of dogs and always become the best of friends. We do daily walks to a beautiful park just up the road or an adventure to the reserve or beach if we are lucky to have a sunny day. My husband and I both work from home so we are always here to give lots of love and attention to your precious fur babies. We always make sure that one of us is always home so your fur baby will never be left alone. 

We offer a free meet and greet so you and your fur baby can meet us which hopefully reassures you that your fur baby will be in safe hands. Long or short stays welcome and all you need to bring is their food, bed and any special items you would like them to have.

All we ask is for their vaccinations to be up to date, toilet trained and desexed. We do have a toddler so your fur baby will also need to be comfortable around children. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby 😊

Our Ralphie had such a great time at Sam’s house. He was really sad to come home and leave Bailey and Dobby. Sam was so understanding and lovely. 10/10
