Peace of mind while you’re away ♥️

Hi, I’m Samantha a lifelong dog lover with a heart for every pup I meet. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15, and to me, they’re more than pets, they’re family. I treat every dog like my own, with gentleness, patience, and genuine love. My home is cozy, calm, and full of affection. I share it with my two sweet senior dogs who are friendly, laid-back, and great with other pups. Whether your dog needs a calm place to rest or a little extra snuggle time, they’ll feel right at home here. I’m happy to follow your dog’s regular diet, even if that means keeping their meals in the fridge or preparing something special. I believe in caring for each dog exactly how their family would. While you’re away, I’ll make sure your best friend feels safe, cherished, and truly loved. I can’t wait to meet you both!

Milo had an amazing time! The sitter was super friendly, very attentive, and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I’m currently a stay-at-home mom after stepping away from my career to care for my three children full-time. I also proudly serve as a reserve police officer here in Arizona. My schedule is very flexible — I’m available seven days a week and happy to work with you on drop-off and pick-up times that suit your needs. If you prefer care provider pick-up, I’m available: • Wednesday to Saturday: Mornings between 7 AM – 9 AM • Sunday to Tuesday: Anytime throughout the day I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule while making sure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for like one of my own.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is designed with your dog’s comfort and safety in mind. We have a beautiful, secure backyard with artificial turf, a fenced-in pool, and a separate fenced dog run for safe outdoor time. That said, I never leave dogs outside unattended. They’re free to go out for fresh air and play as much—or as little—as they’d like, always under my supervision. Inside, I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs and provide a safe, calm environment. For safety and routine, dogs are crated at bedtime, but I do check on them and let them out twice during the night to ensure they’re comfortable. I live with two senior pups who enjoy their time outside and love lounging peacefully indoors. They’re gentle, calm, and well-socialized. To help your dog feel most at home, I kindly ask that you bring their food (to avoid tummy troubles from switching diets), their own bowls, bed, and any favorite toys or blankets they love. Familiar items go a long way in helping your pup settle in and feel secure.

Pets

A typical day

A Typical Day at Our House (Your Dog’s New Favorite Place!) As a stay-at-home mom, our days are full of love, laughter, and lots of play, both for kids and dogs! We start our mornings with fresh air in the backyard, breakfast, and lots of tail wags. With a fully fenced yard, a gated pool, and a separate dog run, safety is always first, while fun is never far behind. Inside, it’s all about cozy vibes. We play, snack, and take breaks for snuggles and naps throughout the day. Your pup will never be left outside and will always be part of the family, lounging in the livi At bedtime, dogs are crated for their safety and peace of mind (unless otherwise requested), with potty breaks and cuddles in between. If your dog loves companionship, playtime, and being part of a loving, active home—this is the place!
