Palm Springs Small Pooch Lover

We are loving pet parents without any pets. We’ve always had small dogs over the years and with our last one we decided to take a break but we miss taking care of little dogs. We’ll treat your baby like our own baby dogs; feeding, walking, petting and just really taking care of your little baby. We live in Palm Springs near the Riviera in a condo complex. Our place is a townhouse with 3 bedrooms and a large patio area. The community grounds are rather large and there are so many dog lovers living in the community. My partner and I own a local business, Wabi Sabi Japan Living and we are active members of the Palm Springs Community serving on City, Chamber and HOA Boards. I am from Japan and bilingual. My partner is from Southern California. We’re both in our 50s, enjoying our lives and loving the desert since 2015. With my service you get two loving dads taking care of your baby.

Our little guy, Cole, has stayed with Sam (and Darrell) several times and is well taken care of and loved during his stays. We also get pictures and updates during his stay which is also nice. We highly recommend Sam! Thank you again!

What a wonderful experience! Osamu and Darrell are amazing and caring people. My dog Kevin felt very at home and comfortable with them. Osamu sent updates and photos of Kevin that put any worries at ease. Thank you so much!

I felt so relieved leaving Luna with Sam and Darryl - Luna clearly felt loved and cared for and the adorable pictures and updates everyday was so appreciated!! I felt at ease knowing Luna was in good hands... it looked like she was the one on vacation 😆 I will definitely book with Sam and Darryl again - thank you for looking after Luna ❤️

We hit the jackpot finding Osamu and Darrell. This was only our second time leaving our beloved pup and he couldn’t have been in better hands. They gave continuous updates/photos and treated Gomi like a part of the family. Gomi felt quickly at home and safe and it showed in the photos they shared. I felt so reassured knowing that he was happy! I really appreciated the kindness and flexibility and I look forward to my return to the area so that Gomi can hang out with these two amazing humans again. Thank you a million times, Osamu and Darrell❤️

Osamu was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Linkin! He watched Linkin for three days and took such great care of him. I really appreciated how many updates and photos he sent throughout the stay...it made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear that Linkin was loved, comfortable, and having a great time. I’d absolutely recommend Osamu to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter. Will definitely be booking with him again!

We are open to smaller dogs and medium dogs. Our last dog was a toy poodle but we love all small to mid size dogs. Not to say we don’t live big dogs. Our place is better suited for small to mid sized dogs at 1400 sq feet.
