I work from home, so I’m able to provide lots of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My wife, Sarah, is a teacher and home during school breaks, so there’s often even more love and hands-on attention available. Caring for pups has become a fun and fulfilling part of our family rhythm.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in our home, we do our best to make them feel like part of the family. Your pup will have access to a spacious, fenced backyard for safe playtime and potty breaks. We make sure they get plenty of affection, play, and downtime, to help them feel comfortable and secure during their stay.
Home
Information Samantha V. would like to know about your pet
We ask that all pups staying with us are comfortable around young children, as we have three little ones in the home. It’s also helpful to know about your dog’s routines, preferences, any quirks, anxieties, or medical needs. Let us know how they do on leash, if they’re crate-trained, and how they typically behave around other dogs and kids—anything you’d want someone to know to keep your pup safe and happy!
A typical day
When your pup is with us, you can be sure they will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime! You can also expect to receive lots of photo updates as well -- Sam loves doing "photo shoots" with all of the pups!

Pawsitively Fun Time!
Pet care experience
We are two gals who love pups and would be thrilled to care for yours while you're away! Our goal is to make sure you can relax and be worry-free, knowing your dog is in good hands. Your pup will be spoiled with attention and love, and we’re confident they’ll have an amazing time! We’ve been dog-sitting for nearly 10 years and have enjoyed every minute with the wonderful pups we've had the pleasure of caring for. I work from home, so there’s always someone around to keep your dog company. A typical day includes lots of outdoor playtime—our large backyard is a great spot for zoomies and fetch! My wife, Sarah, is a teacher and is home during the summer months, winter break, and spring break, so your pup will enjoy even more attention and affection during those times. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood and love going on daily walks to keep your pup happy, healthy, and stimulated. Whether it’s lounging in the yard or strolling the block, there’s always fun to be had. We do have three young children, so it's important that all guest pups are comfortable around kids. Feel free to reach out with any questions—we look forward to giving your pup a loving home away from home!
Reviews

Samantha was amazing! We got nearly daily updates and tons of fun pictures of our furry girl having the best vacation ever! I can tell she enjoyed her time as she’s been sleeping since she got home. Will definitely rebook with Samantha!
Excellent cate for Gabi! Thank you.

Samantha was so easy to work with and our little guy seemed to enjoy his time playing and napping! We also received daily photos on him - so great! Will definitely work with her again on upcoming vacations!!
