Home-from-home care for your dog, with boarding, walking and house sitting across the Isle of Man.
Isle Stay – With Sam
I’m Sam, providing trusted dog care across the Isle of Man.
I offer friendly dog walking, home boarding, house sitting and drop-in visits, with calm, reliable care tailored to your dog’s routine and personality.
How I can help!
My main service is home-from-home boarding, offering a calm, comfortable alternative to kennels for dogs who need a more personal and relaxed place to stay.
Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with plenty of company, routine, attention and reassurance throughout their stay. This can be especially helpful for dogs who do not settle well in kennels, prefer a quieter environment, or feel happier with more one-to-one care.
I have a secure garden for safe outdoor time, along with lovely local walking spots nearby for exercise, fresh air and adventure. It’s a friendly, personal and competitively priced option for owners who want their dog to feel safe, settled and truly at home while they’re away.
Other things I can help with:
01
Dog Walking
Reliable local walks, exercise and companionship tailored to your dog’s needs.
02
House Sitting & Visits
Care in your own home, including feeding, company, toilet breaks and reassurance while you’re away.

“Thanks so much for looking after (nervous rescue) Lil 
. We really appreciated the ‘pupdates’ and were comforted seeing how relaxed (asleep 
) Lil was in your care.
A very happy and excited pup when we collected her and we’ll be in touch very soon regarding her next visit.”
Peter Callister
“We used Sam for the first time recently and couldn’t be happier. She was absolutely brilliant with Finlo! He took to her straight away and clearly loved his time with her. We got regular updates and photos which really put our minds at ease, and it was obvious he was well looked after and happy. It’s such a relief finding someone trustworthy and caring, and we’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks Sam! Xx”
