Loving Care When You Can’t Be There

I have 19+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising my two beloved Chihuahuas to 14 and 16 years old. I now share my home with Max, my friendly and well-trained Chihuahua puppy, who loves having new friends over. My compassionate approach, combined with a deep understanding of small dog’s unique needs, sets me apart. Whether it’s playtime for puppies or a calm environment for seniors, I’ll make sure your fur-baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved while staying with Max and I.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 26, 2026

Samantha watched Mila for 3 days in a row and she truly didn’t want to come back home! Max is her new best friend! We will definitely be booing again

Doggy Day Care • Feb 06, 2026

I had to look for a sitter for my puppy who has seperation anxiety and found Samantha. Samantha was really patient and loving with my puppy who was extremely hyper and in the biting phase. Samantha kept me posted with pictures and videos of my pooch while I was at my job training which helped with my own seperation anxiety from my pup. I would definitely recommend Samantha as a person to care for your pooch.

Sam has been and always be the best caregiver of animals, dogs especially. I would trust her with my pets and my life under any circumstances. She goes above and beyond basic care for animals. Any pet owner would be privileged to have her as a caregiver, sitter and or walker.

Samantha is fantastic with dogs! She has a natural ability to care for pups of all ages, especially older dogs with specific needs. Her attentiveness and expertise make her an excellent choice for pet parents looking for someone reliable and compassionate. She fully dedicates herself to the animals she looks after, ensuring they get plenty of walks, care, and, of course, snuggle time! If you're looking for someone who truly loves and prioritizes your furry family members, Samantha is the perfect choice!

Samantha took care of our dog and her litter of 4 puppies while we were away on vacation for 2 weeks last year. Samantha went above and beyond in caring for our pups! She was conscientious, engaged and loving. There was no cap on the amount of time that Samantha spent with playing and interacting with the dogs every day. It was so refreshing to come home to an exceptionally clean and smell free home after a long vacation! Samantha had consistently cleaned up after the dogs, a task that we did not expect of her. Her thoughtfulness and foresight meant so much to us. She also was aware of what was happening in the house while we were away, noticing that our furnace had stopped working and made sure we knew ASAP. We also received pictures and videos daily which was amazing! We would 1000% recommend Samantha for your pet sitting needs, we are even having her come again this year!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is specially set up with small and senior dogs in mind; including ramps to access the backyard, as well as ramps and/or stairs to the beds and couches, so every dog can move around safely and comfortably. I only host one guest dog at a time to ensure each pup receives my full attention and care. Your dog will always be supervised, loved, and treated like family in a safe, relaxed, and dog-friendly home.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my home is relaxed, cozy, and tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Mornings are quiet with breakfast, cuddles, and light playtime with my Chihuahua, Max. In the warmer afternoon hours, we’ll enjoy a walk and some backyard playtime. Early evenings can include a visit to a small dog park called Wolf Willow, where I often meet with a friendly small dog group; this is, of course, optional, only if you’d like your fur-baby to join. After that, we settle in for the evening with quiet snuggles, gentle play, and plenty of love. Your fur-baby is welcome to sleep in bed with Max and I, if they prefer. ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and completely at home.

To provide the best care, I’d love to know about any medications your dog may need, their daily routines, and their feeding schedule. Understanding their habits, energy levels, and any special requirements allows me to tailor the day to their unique needs. If your pup has favorite toys, snacks, activities, or any specific instructions at all, please share them with me. I want to ensure their stay with Max and I is as comfortable, safe, and enjoyable as possible.
