Availability
I work from home, on my computer and phone calls most of the day, so I’m available all day to take puppies on walks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, treats and playtime.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment with plenty of love and supervision. I follow any specific instructions you provide—feeding schedules, potty routines, medications, and preferred walking routes. I keep the space clean, pet-proofed, and cozy.
Home
Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet
I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before booking. This includes feeding schedules, walk preferences, medical needs, medications, allergies, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. Does your dog bark a lot. I also appreciate knowing how they do with other dogs, people, and new environments, as well as their favorite toys, commands, and comfort items. The more I know in advance, the better I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home.
A typical day
A typical day with me is calm, and fun. Mornings start with a walk & potty break, followed by breakfast and some light play. Throughout the day, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and rest, while keeping their usual routines as consistent as possible. I take pets on 4 walks per day unless more or less are requested. I provide updates, photos and videos, and check-ins so owners always know how their pet is doing. Evenings include a walk, dinner, and relaxed time to unwind before bedtime. I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and personality. This can include neighborhood walks, playtime with toys, basic training or enrichment games, cuddle time, outdoor adventures when appropriate, and animal planet on TV. For higher-energy dogs, I enjoy longer walks and active play; for calmer pets, I focus on companionship, gentle play, and comfort. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and at home while in my care.

A Boutique Experience for Your Dog
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience caring for little dogs of all ages. I understand dog behavior, gained through years of raising and working with little dogs —especially Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Dachshund, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, Havanese, and mini French Bulldogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with love and patience.

Reviews

Sam was incredible. It was my first time leaving my dog and I was nervous but Sam made sure my dog was happy and loved the whole time I was gone. He sent frequent updates and photos and my dog came home very well taken care of. I think he even missed sam once we were home! 10/10. Thank you Sam!

Sam is the best! Our dog, Willie, loves staying with him. Sam gives love and attention and treats him like his own. He’s dependable and we’d recommend him to anyone.

Sam takes such a great care of our little girl! We have an anxious pup, and he has been so good with her. He sends us daily video updates, which gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. Highly recommend Sam to anyone!

We had a great experience with Sam caring for our 2 year old Pomeranian! You can tell he really cares and our understanding the specific needs of each dog and treats them like one of his own. He was very responsive and sent us sweet little updates each day. Our dog came back so loved and cared for and we could tell he was tired from all the fun we had! We absolutely would book Sam again.
