Dog Care with Heart & Home

I’ve been a devoted dog lover ever since I rescued my first pup, Zoey, over 12 years ago. Since then, caring for dogs has become second nature. Our home is full of tail wags and happy paws—especially with our sweet German Shepherd mix, Chief, who brings endless love and playfulness to our family. I’ve had the joy of regularly caring for friends’ dogs over the years, and I truly treat every pup like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy nap spots, or lots of belly rubs, your dog will feel right at home with us. We’re a dog-loving household through and through—our two kids (ages 8 and 10) are kind, gentle, and adore spending time with furry visitors. Your dog will get plenty of affection, attention, and safe, supervised play with us. Whether you need daycare, weekend sitting, or just some extra love while you’re away, we’d be thrilled to welcome your pup into our home!

Samantha and her family did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. He came home calm and rested after his first long stay away from home. I could tell he had a great time with them.

Samantha was great! Always on time, and took extra care of Kaya making sure she had water. Kaya loved her walks and I could see she was really happy in the pictures. I would highly recommend her services.
