Samantha is very responsive and provided regular photos of my pet and her activities. She was well looked after. We look forward to our next visit.

Sam took such wonderful care of my little girl and was excellent at sending updates regularly. I was able to know my pup was being loved without worrying. She was also very flexible when my timings shifted. I will 100% be leaving Poppy in Sam’s care in the future!

Samantha was great again. Her dog Cocoa has a very gentle temperament, and my dog seems calm and happy staying with Samantha and Cocoa.

Doggy Day Care • 16 Jun 2026

Samantha took care of Ellie for one day on Sunday 6/14, and I had a very good experience with her. It was a very hot day, so they stayed inside most of the time, and Ellie was able to relax and sleep comfortably on her sofa. Samantha was very responsible, warm, and communicative. She sent me several photos of Ellie, which made me feel reassured while I was away. Ellie seemed comfortable and well cared for, and I really appreciated Samantha’s kindness and care. I would be happy to have her watch Ellie again.

Schedule

I work as a therapist full time during the week however I am fully home in the evenings from 4pm on! Since I work during the week ideally drop off times for boarding would be 4pm on. I am also available for those who may need a sitter just for the evening! Weekends I am always home and they would have around the clock care for both daycare and boarding! Also willing to travel for pick ups/drop offs if needed! Also if you book with enough notice, there is a good chance I can request time off to be home for full supervision during the week!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and my apartment is a pretty large size for them to roam/play! There is also a dog park in my apartment community if they have extra energy to burn off! I can accommodate whatever is needed as far as crating at night or gating off sections of the home. However, I am more than happy to let them be anywhere they feel comfortable. I am able to watch one pet for daycare or boarding services at a time so that I am able to prioritize your pups needs!

Pets

A typical day

We have tons of toys and a large open space indoor and outdoor for zoomies! Happy to take the pups out for walks as well. There is also a community dog park in my complex where I am familiar with all of the dogs. It's about a 20 second walk from my apartment for some extra play time when needed!
