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 fantastic with my dog Limo! Very patient and understanding of her separation anxiety and skittishness.

Doggy Day Care • jul. 13, 2026

Sam was professional and patient with letting my shy pup get settled. She sent photos and updates a few times during the day. She had a great yard for my potty-shy dog to do her business. She seems to understand dogs well, especially since my pup has separation anxiety, and Sam was able to keep her calm when I left for the day!

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!
