Pet care experience

I'll be your dog's best friend!

Dog owners can count on me to give their pup the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’ve been working with animals for over 20 years and have experience with all ages and stages, from puppies to seniors. My partner Mike and I both work from home full-time alongside our pug, Petunia, which means your dog will have plenty of company and a flexible routine tailored to their needs. We have a spacious house with a large private backyard, and the neighborhood has great parks nearby for longer walks. Above all, I’m committed to making sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

Samantha is great! She is so nice and responsible. My dog Rosie made herself at home. Samantha sent frequent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with her sweet dog Petunia. I felt completely at ease leaving Rosie with her and her partner, and would definitely use them again!

Hopkins loves coming to daycare! His tail wags as soon as we pull up! I feel safe leaving him there. Samantha has been very flexible in meeting our needs.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 03, 2026

Ronon has spent the day with Samantha five times now. This morning when I said "you're going to Sam's today to play with Petunia," he started barking and zooming around. When I picked him up at the end of the day, he was happy and relaxed. What more could I ask for?

This was Percy’s first overnight stay with Sam, Mike, and Petunia, and he had a blast! Sam’s family is so wonderful and caring, and they always treat Percy like their own.

Samantha was very welcoming of Bulbasaur and sent video/photo updates during the day to let me know that he was doing well. Very responsive and easy to work with.

Samantha took excellent care of Lina for the 5 days I was out of town. I appreciated her willingness to arrange a meet-up prior to the booking as well as her flexibility and understanding when my departure was pushed back a couple hours. Communication was great throughout the stay. Samantha sent pictures and updates daily. I could tell Lina was happy and having a great time, playing with Samantha's dog Petunia, taking walks, exploring the yard, and cuddling on the couch. I would not hesitate to book Samantha in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

For drop-in visits and dog walking, I follow your pet's established routine to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I'll handle feeding, medication, litter box cleaning, playtime, and walks exactly as you've instructed. For boarding in my home, I treat your dog as part of my family. They'll have full access to our spacious home and fenced in backyard and enjoy the company of me and my family. I maintain their regular feeding schedule, provide plenty of exercise with walks and play, and give them lots of love and attention. Whether in your home or mine, my priority is keeping your pet’s happy, comfortable, and safe while following the instructions you've provided.

Pets

A typical day

Every pet is unique, so I tailor activities to match their personality and energy level. Whether your pet is active and playful or prefers calmer activities and cuddle time, I'll follow their lead and incorporate the enrichment they enjoy most.

I'd love to know as much as possible about your pet's personality, temperament, and daily routine before we meet. It's helpful to understand their feeding schedule, any dietary restrictions, medication needs, favorite toys/activities, and any behavioral quirks. The more details you can provide about your pet’s preferences, the better I can tailor their care to feel like home.
