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!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 14, 2026

Ronon has spent the day with Sam and her adorable pug, Petunia, twice now. Sam has a nice home and yard and a very chill vibe. Ronon was comfortable with her immediately. Ronon has big feelings and separation anxiety, so I'm very picky about who I leave him with. (Also, he has all the hops and can jump a five foot fence. Sam has a very secure yard.) When I pick him up, he is relaxed and happy! I'm very comfortable leaving Ronon with Sam and will definitely be a repeat client.

One Word. Amazing! Our Chasey Boy played fetch, went on walks, received his meds and was loved for 8 days. Photo updates daily. Samantha, Mike and Petunia are top notch sitters! Will 100% request them in the future.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 19, 2026

Sam, her husband Mike, and their dog Petunia are the best! They cared for my dog Percy at their house for a day, and were so patient with us and Percy’s many quirks. Sam is communicative, kind, and clearly an amazing dog mom. I look forward to booking with them again in the future!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 27, 2026

Don’t hesitate to book with Samantha!! I was new to the neighborhood and had a very busy week, and she just made everything so much easier by providing reliable daily care for my pup! She is incredibly flexible, kind, and communicative which is very appreciated. She is also great at sending pictures and video updates :) I feel great about leaving my dog with her. 11/10!

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.
