Serving you & your pets with Heart

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for pets for family and friends since I was 14. From feeding and walks to playtime, bathing, and ensuring their safety, I treat every dog like my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Our home is full of love, and my kids (ages 5–16) enjoy helping give extra attention and playtime (always supervised). Your pup will feel safe, loved, and right at home with us!

Samantha was absolutely wonderful with Luna! From the start, she made Luna feel comfortable and welcomed, and Luna got along great with her dog, Victory. It was obvious that Luna was having a great time and was well cared for throughout her stay. One thing I really appreciated was the regular updates and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind to see Luna happy, playing, and settling in so well. What stood out most was how much love and attention Samantha gave Luna. It was clear that Luna wasn’t treated like just another dog she was watching—she was treated like part of the family. Knowing Luna was safe, loved, and cared for made being away from her so much easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!

Awesome stay for our dog. Samantha was flexible and tweaked her schedule to accommodate us. Not only that, went the extra mile with a bath for Leia. Our best experience so far on Rover!!

Highly recommend!!! Samantha was able to take our pup very last minute for a holiday week as we ended up not being able to take him with us. She sent us updates and pictures daily. We were very happy knowing he was getting all the love and attention we would be giving him if we could! Thank you Samantha!!

Safety, trust & environment

While we don’t have a fenced yard and live in a quiet mobile home community, we make up for it with plenty of activity! We’re surrounded by miles of bike paths, nearby parks, on-leash trails, and a large dog park—so your pup will get all the exercise and stimulation they need.

I’d love to know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors so I can care for them well. I do require a meet and greet at my home to make sure it’s the right fit for your dog, my kids, and our dog.
