Pawsitively Outstanding Pet Care!

Hey there! My name is Sam, and I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. As an experienced sitter, you can trust me to provide amazing care for your pets. I cherish every opportunity to snuggle with furry companions and provide excellent care. Whether it’s long walks, playful fetch sessions, or cozy cuddles, I’m committed to making your pup feel right at home 🐾🐶 I have worked for many years at animal rescue organizations and am especially familiar with senior dogs. I carry an understanding of different breeds, each with unique needs and temperaments. This knowledge allows me to tailor my care approach to suit individual dogs, ensuring their comfort and happiness. I have a senior dog of my own, who is very gentle and gets along with absolutely everyone. I have a spacious independent house with a large backyard space. As a meticulous boarder, I take pride in keeping a keen eye on details. When pet parents entrust their companions to my care, I listen attentively to their instructions. From dietary preferences to favorite toys, no detail is too small. Each wag of the tail and woof of approval is a testament to my commitment. I want to ensure that you feel confident that your pet will get the best possible care under my roof.

Sam is amazing! She took really good care of my dog Zuki. She send me updates about Zuki and captured a beautiful picture of Zuki. Also, she accepted my request on the same day and was great at communicated with me during the drop off and pick up time. I recommend her.

Sam was amazing! I was immediately able to tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is the moment I met her. I got daily photos and updates, and felt confident my dog was getting great care. Pick up and drop off was efficient and felt warm. My pup came back happy and I will definitely rebook. Highly recommend!

Sam and her husband were so amazing, loving, and caring! There was some road closures due to an event in the city and they were extremely accommodating with the pick up time. Overall, I cannot recommend Sam more!

Sam is the best ever ever ever! She always takes amazing care of my pup Steve, sends regular updates and photos, and is an excellent communicator. She doesn’t watch a ton of dogs at a time, so I’m comfortable knowing that Steve is being looked after and getting all the love and attention he could ever want. We moved further out of the city, but we still go out of our way to book with Sam because she’s so great! We love her!
