Wags & Waves

Wags & Waves Life's a beach; enjoy the waves and relax knowing your family is in good hands. Boarding is costly and stressful to both family and to your pets.

Wags and Waves is here to help! While you vacation, let your pets staycation in the comfort of their own home Hi- we're so glad you're here! My name is Sam, and I'm just like you- a regular mom who believes in supporting her community and living life to the fullest. If you're going to let me into your home- allow me to let you into mine:

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs in a household of four dog

s of all different sizes. As a child, I wanted to be a zookeeper, as animals have always been an infinite source of happiness for me. Instead, I chose a career path in veterinary technology. I moved to Kentucky and received my Bachelors of Science in Agriculture from Murray State University in 2015, where I studied both small and large animal medicine and husbandry. Following school, I moved even further south to Clarksville, Tennessee, where I received my state certification as a Licensed Veterinary Technician and worked in a top-rated animal hospital for 4 years. At one point, there were 3 dogs and four cats in my home! When it came time for the next chapter in life, a traveling job brought me to the Space Coast, and I instantly knew this was where I was meant to be. We have resided here for two years, during which I have maintained a full-time job with a local small business, developed multiple friendships within the community, and even coached local soccer for the kids. Currently, I am a partner, a mom, a dog-owner, a local server, a neighbor, a coach, and most importantly- a friend. I live in Indialantic with my partner, Dustin, and my 8 year old son, Jace, and our two dogs- a half Great Dane (Curri) and a pitbull (C**t).

Little does he know it feels like 105° outside, but that doesn't stop him from peeing on every bush he finds! 😎

Hey everybody!

I know its been a while since I posted last- July was BUSY! I'm so grateful to have the support and, in return, the opportunity to support so many families and make life a little easier. August is approaching fast, so dont hesitate to call when something comes up! Ace and Kona here are already rebooked for mom and dad's wedding in October!

Let me tell you about my buddy, Ace. πŸ˜… He is a handful to say the least, but the sweetest boy once he let's you in. I come visit for a few days prior to mom and dad leaving so he can remember me and get used to my voice and scent and find me safe, amongst other calming techniques. Once he decides i'm his person while mom is gone, there's no leaving my side. (He has to sit in every chair with me). Meanwhile- Kona knows that sometimes a girl's just gotta sunbathe 😎

Thanks Christina and Alex for your trust and support and kind words. See you again soon!

I caught Flash off guard and finally was able to snap a photo of him! Cats are tricky, but a little bit of patience can go a long way. Flash's family is taking across-country trip to bring some of their belongings from Oregon down to Florida- no relaxing vacation for a cat. So he's at home ruling his rooster and probably enjoying a few weeks of kid-free quiet time and tons of treats!

In my years as a vet tech, it was always hard to see cats being boarded. They're already terrified after the ride over to the vets then you leave them alone in a little box with no room to roam and it smells weird and other cats in the room are just as scared. Its so much simpler to let them stay at home where they're comfortable and let alone good petsitter handle the rest πŸ˜„πŸΎ

Dear Monster and Binx,

Well boys, it's been real. Binx- thanks for putting up with the endless times I would leave Minions on the TV to listen to, and for never letting the letterbox get TOO messy. You give the best fat cat nuzzles! Monster Man- thank you for being such a patient little guy with Jace and letting him snuggle all over you, he LOVES little dogs. I'll sure miss those little post walk zoomies. Your next sitter in Sarasota is in for such a treat!

Zack Williams and Heather Williams- you're family has been such a pleasure to work with and to watch grow! Thank you for believing in this small business and allowing me into your home! If there's ever more I can do, don't hesitate to call. Good luck on your next chapter!

Sincerely,
Sam and Jace 🐾🧑

I love it when my clients come to visit me at work! Coral and Reef's favorite activity is coming to the beach to play ball and catch some waves! One of my favorite perks of a small-town community is being friends with my neighbors. 🐢🌊

After a brief soccer/spring break at the bar hiatus- guess what!..

WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

For those of you that know me- thank you so much for supporting this business adventure and allowing me to support your families in return! Its been such an amazing feeling to be a part of a beautiful community, and I love knowing we belong here!

For those of you that don't know me- Hi! I'm Sam, and that's my son, Jace. I run Wags and Waves, which is really just a fun way for me to say I provide local petsitting services right here on the Space Coast. I was a licensed veterinary technician for 6 years after graduating college with my vet tech degree, so I've found that petsitting really combines my passions for animals and serving others while allowing me to support our own little family too! Outside of this, you may have caught me over at the local beach bar I've worked at for two years now, or maybe out of the soccer fields with the boy. I started this side business about a year ago now, and have dozens of references and return clients and even 5 star Google reviews! (You guys make me blush!)

But enough about me- there's always more time for that later. Right now, it's time for you to go and plan your next trip! The whole reason I started this business is because I know how hard it can be (as a single mom and pet owner) to get the hard-earned break you deserve without worrying about breaking the bank to do it. Don't sweat it, go have fun! A petsitter when you need one; a friend when you don't! πŸΎπŸ’›
