Pet care experience

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.

Words cannot express how happy we were that our Luna was with Sam. It was our first time away from each other. It’s such a relief knowing that our fur baby was so well cared for. We were extremely appreciative of all the photos and communication that was shared too. Luna has made a lifelong connection with Sam and his partner. Thank you again for everything! 🥰🤗🫰🏼

I can’t say enough good things about Osamu. He was so great with our girl. Such a nice guy and great with dogs. I will definitely use him again. Best dog sitter I have ever found, period. Highly recommended!

Osamu is an extremely caring, thoughtful, dependable, and responsive sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care when we left our dog with him and his husband in their lovely home for two weeks. He provided multiple photos daily along with newsy updates. If I could leave a six star review, I would!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Osamu is fantastic!! He and his husband took care of our little dog and sent a TON of photos and went out of their way to make him feel at home. If you need someone who is reliable, friendly, and caring, don’t hesitate to book with Osamu. We already have another stay booked!

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!

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.
