Supreme care as if you were there!

Pet care experience

No children or dogs in the home. Safe, fun environment for your pet! Note: - Return customers receive discount on dog boarding (please remind me at time of booking) - All dog owners who use my sitting services for the first time will receive a FREE GIFT! - Pickup/Dropoff (within 5 miles) available for small additional fee I’ve always been an animal lover, especially dogs and they always gravitate toward me too! Over the past few years, I’ve grown my experience providing care to dogs (including those with illnesses, such as ear infections & eye conditions) while owners are away. I am typically available weekends only with a flexible schedule to provide services during that time, but can adjust to support longer stays for return customers and dogs who are used to being alone for full work days during the week as I work full-time as an Engineer. I like being active so your fur baby will enjoy our walks, runs, and time spent together! I follow any instructions given and will make myself more than available to keep you updated on your furry family member, answering any questions that you may have while they are in my care. Looking forward to serving you and the one(s) you love soon!

Once again reviewing for Sam's fantastic sitting of our Shiba Inu, Griffith! She is so good with him and has been so kind to us as repeat customers, even going as far as to buy our dog extra toys to play with. I can't recommend Sam enough, she's incredible and very kind!

Sam always does an amazing job taking care of my Shiba Inu, Griffith. I've booked with her 3-4 times now for weekend and week long stays and he has always been very happy and healthy at the end! Sam also has a "return client" discount that is very generous and she even bought Griffith a toy once which was extremely kind of her. She is very attentive and really does take care of your dog with attention to how the dog is normally taken care of. Thanks again Sam :)

Sam was absolutely fantastic! I needed a dog sitter for a long weekend getaway. I had never used a dog sitter service before so I was very apprehensive. But Sam was lovely, she made herself available for us to do a meet and greet, for the opportunity for us and my dog to meet her. She was patient, very personable, flexible in accommodating my date changes, and conveniently located close to me. She asked a lot of questions about how to care for Murphie, so she could it the exact same way, which made me feel comfortable that she would attend to my dog the way I would. While Murphie was w her, she sent daily pictures of his activities, which really helped to ease my nerves and my daughters too! I will definitely use Sam again in the future and recommend her to anyone I know who is in need of services. AND after I picked my dog up from, she sent me the sweetest video that she made of him and their time together!!!! BONUS,!!

Information Sam A. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting your furry friend, I would like to know the following: Is your dog crate trained? How does your dog behave around other animals? How vocal is your dog? Does your dog have any allergies or illnesses? How do you typically reward good behavior? Can your dog be left alone? How long? Anything else I should know?

A typical day

I live near a few nice trails and parks. There is also a doggy play area near my apartment community where I can take your dog for some extra fun. Otherwise, I am open to getting some exercise around the owner's area during drop-ins as well.
