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 was very caring and patient with our pup. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay with what activities our dog was up to. She also provided multiple pictures to keep us updated. We were a bit nervous leaving our pup in a new environment but Sam put our minds at ease. Will definitely book with Sam again.

Sam is the best! Aspen loves staying with her and her husband, and she gets all the love and play time while there. She gets so excited to go, and I highly recommend her for your pets home away from home.

Sam was really great with our pup over a few days stay. She was very communicative, attentive, and patient with him as he got used to his surroundings. Easy logistics, too. Would highly recommend her to take care of your pet!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 18, 2026

Sam was very welcoming and extremely communicative throughout the entire duration of the stay. She was also very understanding of mishaps. She was very willing to make accommodations to help my puppy feel comfortable in her home and to also help make progress in training.

Sam is amazing - we have done both daycare and boarding with her. She is super patient and kind. She even took my pups on a couple adventures during their boarding which was such a nice treat for them! One of my dogs is a senior and she really seems to understand what both my young energetic girl and senior girl need.
