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 - 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.

Sam was kind and patient with my dog, Mochi. She communicated regularly and sent me photos to let me know how Mochi was handling the new environment and gave great suggestions for easing my dog into boarding at a new place.

Sam is a godsend! Louie always has the best time at her house. She was so reassuring during my off the grid trip offering tons of flexibility during uncertain plans, and sent the best updates. Thank you so much!!

Sam was an incredible host for our two pups.  We are so appreciative of the attention and love she gave them, her communication, and her giving us the peace of mind that they were in the best hands.  They were so obviously comfortable and at ease with her.  She is very thorough and makes sure that she knows all about the dogs’ habits and routines in order to make their stay is as smooth as possible.  We also had to extend our trip and she was very kind to accommodate us.  We are so lucky to have found Sam!
