“Crazy dog lady”

Hi I'm Sam! I've been working with animals my entire life. I have cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, and more. I'm a natural caretaker and really enjoy being around animals. I have done everything from kennel/boarding, doggie daycare, dog training, and dog/cat/horse grooming. I'm currently working towards getting my certification in canine sports massage. If you’d like to know more about my specific experience feel free to message me. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Boarding • Jul 21, 2026

I had such a great experience boarding my dog with her. It's hard to leave your dog with someone else, but she made the whole process easy and stress-free. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and enjoys caring for them. When I picked Spoofer up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That meant everything to me. I never worried while I was away because I knew she was in good hands. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, caring, and will treat your dog with kindness and attention, I highly recommend her. I'll definitely be boarding my dog with her again!

If there was only one way to describe Sam, it would be an avid animal lover. There is no one I would feel safer with caring for my pups than her, and it is apparent in how she treats & her fondness of animals in general. Offering a much more loving and caring approach than the typical kennel or base pet-sitter service, I know I am more than comfortable going away for any extended period of time, because of the level of care and enrichment that she provides to each and everyone of her clients. DO NOT HESITATE, she's really that good

Schedule

Dogs are pottied 4+ times per day, including enrichment walks. They will also get at least one enrichment activity indoors each day. I love to be active/out in nature, so if your pup will enjoy it we may go on a hike/nature walk weather depending!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 2.5 acre yard, that is not fenced in. I use long lines so dogs can run around and enjoy the space, while still safely confined to the yard. My goal is to fulfill each dog mentally and physically while they’re in my care. I want your dog to be excited to come back for their next stay, a little vacation for them too!

A typical day

I want your dog to feel as close to as comfortable with me as they are with you, as possible. I’ll ask you what a typical day at home is like and go from there, doing my best to make sure they’re happy each day. Ultimately I want them to enjoy themselves with me! I live in an area that is great for nature walks/hikes, and good neighborhood walks. My couch is also great for snuggling for the pup that prefers to veg out!
