Our story

A Home Away From Home, Inspired by Our Golden Retriever, Sam

Sam's Pawmates gets its name from our ‘goodest’ boy, Sam!

We wanted to create a luxury dog retreat where our four-legged buddies could enjoy a holiday of their own, with plenty of opportunities to play, make new friends and experience something different.

We've done our best to keep the surroundings as green as possible, bringing dogs closer to nature while giving them space to run around and explore.

From a one-of-a-kind swimming pool where owners can join their dogs, to spacious, air-conditioned kennels and outdoor play areas, we've put thought into creating a place that dogs can enjoy just as much as their owners.

After all, we're not the only ones who deserve a break or a holiday. Our furry ones can, and should, too!

Our team

Experienced Dog Handlers Who Care About Every Visit

We've made sure to have staff who not only have experience working with dogs, but also genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

We know that every dog is different. Some are eager to make new friends, while others need a little more time to feel comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.

Our handlers take these differences into account, helping dogs settle in and enjoy their visit at their own pace. We also send regular video updates, so you can see how your dog is doing while you're away.

Before your visit

Health Checks and Requirements for Daycare and Boarding

We want Sam's Pawmates to be a comfortable place for every dog who visits, which is why we have a few requirements for daycare and boarding.

Tick Checks

We carry out a thorough tick check before admission. If ticks are found, we may refuse admission.

Age and Vaccination Requirements

Dogs must be at least six months old and must have received their kennel cough vaccination at least 3–5 days prior to their first daycare or boarding visit.

A Daycare Visit Before Overnight Boarding

If your dog is staying overnight for the first time, we recommend bringing them for a daycare session beforehand.

This gives your dog an opportunity to become familiar with the surroundings, meet our handlers and settle in before a longer stay.

I left my Rottweiler girl here for nearly 2½ months, and I'm truly grateful for the love, care, and affection she received throughout her stay.

The best part was their daily evening playtime in the dedicated play area … They also have swimming pool access, so dogs can enjoy swimming and have even more fun during their stay. My girl genuinely enjoyed her stay and felt as though she was on a little resort vacation!

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe, caring, and happy stay for their pets.

It was stressful having to decide on a place to board my dog for 35 days when I had to go away. Sams Pawmates was the only option where I was comfortable leaving my dog in trustworthy and caring hands. They had trained staff to monitor, fresh air, and socializing with other dogs.

I would also get videos every day and to see my dog happy, I was at peace knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Sundeep.

I boarded my 1-year-old Labrador at Sams Pawmates for 5 days, and I am extremely happy with the care he received. The team took excellent care of him and treated him with great attention and affection.

One thing I really appreciated was receiving daily videos and updates, which kept me worry-free and relaxed throughout my time away. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was safe, comfortable, and well looked after.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet boarding facility.

The best place to board your pet, that I know, in Chennai. Sunddeep takes personal interest to spend time and play with all the dogs in the evening in the lawn. It's more like a school for your dog to develop socializing skills, and learn to play with other dogs. They have a swimming pool to help improve mobility for aging dogs and for the ones needing some rehab.

The place is kept very clean and I love (and my dog too) their concept of play time and their lawn is a perfect place for that

Great spot for your dogs. There is a lawn where they can run around and have fun too. The highlight about the place is that, we can get into the pool along with our fur babies and enjoy with them. Grooming was also very professional. A worthy place to spend quality time with your pets.

My puppy Kobe has been going to Sam's Pawmates since he was about 10–11 months old, and today he's 3.5 years old. Over the years, whenever I had to travel, Sam's has truly been his second home.

When Kobe first started, he was extremely nervous and antisocial… But thanks to the loving environment, care, and patience of the team at Sam's, he has undergone a remarkable transformation. Today, Kobe is confident, happy, and very sociable with other dogs.

One of the things I appreciate most is how consistently healthy he has been after every stay.

This place is akin to a resort for humans. Lush green inside and out , top notch facilities for pets , pristine hygiene for dogs including a swimming pool , and adorable view. Dog runs, pet swimming pool, air conditioned kennels for pets, electricity backup 24X7, I would call it a palace for dogs. Medical attention for sick pets available, personal care for pets, healthy and balanced food as per dogs breed and health condition. Haven't seen such a beautiful boarding for dogs / pets in India.

I leave thotho at Sam's every time i travel. I have to say Sandeep and his staff are excellent. Sandeep has a very strick pre admission check before he boards a pet. I particularly like this check list cos it keep your pet safe and also the other pets that are there.

I have boarded thotho in many pet boardings around the city when I travel. I must say this definitely tops the list. Thankyou Sandeep and team. Thotho shall be in his home away from home real soon.

Left my german shepherd and golden retriever here for around 10days. They had their own vacation whilst i was away on mine! They had such fun staying here. They made many new friends and had no trouble adjusting to the new environment thanks to the wonderful care they were given. Would definitely 100% recommend this place.
