A Cozy Home Away From Home

What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide to every dog. Your pup will have plenty of company, supervision, and opportunities for walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable - from feeding schedules and exercise preferences to favorite toys and sleeping habits. My goal is to make their stay feel as much like home as possible. I’m also highly organized and communicative, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care, attention, and affection they deserve.

We love working with Samantha. She is really sweet and caring with Boston and is very focused with all his needs. Boston looks so at ease and happy puppy with her care. We definitely will continue to book her in the future.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 18, 2026

Samantha was great to communicate with and very sweet with our dogs! It was our first time doing Rover, so we were a little nervous, bur she made us feel immediately at ease and the dogs were clearly happy to be with her. Location is super pleasant, excellent neighborhood for dog walks. Can’t wait to work with Samantha again!

Samantha was so responsive and loving to my sweet Zoe! Zoe has bad anxiety and Samantha was quick to provide love and support to make her feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend her and will use her services in the future!!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care fits into my routine quite naturally and I’m able to plan my schedule to make sure dogs are well cared for throughout the day. I do work in an office, but I have some flexibility in my schedule depending on the day and can often adjust my mornings, evenings, or breaks to accommodate walks, feeding, and check-ins. Outside of work hours, I’m home and fully available for morning and evening care, playtime, and overnight boarding. I also make sure weekends are open and consistent for pet care. When I’m boarding a dog, I plan ahead to ensure their needs are fully met and that they’re not left without attention or exercise for long periods. Overall, I’m very intentional about balancing my work schedule with pet care so that each dog feels comfortable, cared for, and part of a stable routine while they’re with me.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, walk routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day, along with a cozy space to relax and feel at home. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and needs - whether they’re high-energy and need more exercise and stimulation, or more relaxed and prefer a quieter environment. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being and will communicate immediately if anything seems off. In a client’s home, I would respect their space and routine, making sure everything is cared for exactly as instructed, including feeding, walks, clean-up, and any special requests. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured and connected while they’re away.

A typical day

Walks, playtime, trips to the dog park near my apartment (if your pup enjoys it) or walks to the park, lots of cuddles, and personalized care every day.
