I Love Dogs ❤️

I have 17 years experience taking care & living with dogs. I have cared for my own dog, (Fancy) for 4 years - and know first hand what it is like leaving your fur baby with a pet sitter. I am focused on giving you the peace of mind you deserve while you are away from your fur baby. I give constant photo /video / messages updating you on your little one’s whereabouts. I service dogs of all ages from puppies to senior pups. Most importantly I take care of your dog like they were my own - making sure they are my #1 priority.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 20, 2026

She was incredibly sweet and took amazing care of my dog, Milo. It was clear he got lots of love and attention while I was away. She followed all my instructions perfectly, especially with his food, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I’d absolutely trust her again :)

Samantha is the best! She cared for my dog so well that I think Pippi can't wait to go back and visit! She sent tons of photos and videos which lifted my spirits as I was out of town attending to my sister's funeral. Samantha is Pippi's God Mother. Love ❤️

Samantha was great. Rico loved her and so did I. She kept me updated, sent me pictures and videos of my fur baby every day. She comforted him in every way, took him to the dog park, cuddled with him and was very attentive. Over all my experience with her was amazing and I’m definitely going to book her in the future. I highly recommend her.

I am more than willing to get on a video or voice call so you can see the environment your pup will be in. It’s especially helpful to know: • Any medical needs or medications • Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions • How they handle being around other dogs • Any fears • Other information you deem as helpful Please provide any supplies your pup needs so they can feel at home. • Food/water bowl • Favorite blanket • Pet Bed • Favorite toys/balls • Clothing •Etc. The more I know, the better I can make their stay feel like home. I am ready to welcome your fur baby.
