Information Samantha H. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your pet requires any special accommodations, medications, or if there are any specific behaviors we should be aware of. We have a friendly dog and two children (ages 8 and 10), so we are only able to care for dogs that are well-behaved around other dogs and kids.

A typical day

As an active family, we ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. We take multiple daily walks, visit local parks, and spend time playing fetch and running around in our fenced backyard. Your pet will be treated like part of the family with plenty of love, activity, and outdoor fun.

Dog Care with Heart & Home

Pet care experience

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 was amazing! She took care of Rio so well and gave me updates and photos so i knew everything was going great. Rio is a bit more on the shy/cautious side but he got along so well with Chief and her family so highly recommended trusting Samantha with your dogs care!
