Will feel just like Home!

Pet care experience

I have a dog myself that loves attention and being active so I am well experience on providing the best active experience for other pets. I have patience and I am very loving towards other animal. I believe all animals should be treated with respect and I can assure you your pet will be on really good hands. I can sense and know when dogs need attention or are in need of care or just a hug. Bentley is very welcoming and loves to be around other dogs. I’m available during the afternoons for drop-ins, and walks. For boarding I’m available Friday afternoon- Sunday afternoon.

Samara was AMAZING! She clearly cares deeply about the pets she she sits for. We met prior to the boarding and she asked questions that showed how seriously she takes her role as a sitter. She was great about keeping us updated with photos and care, and helped our senior dog feel right at home. Her dog Bentley also was great about keeping Maddie company. 110% would recommend Samara for any of your sitter needs- we will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you Samara!!!

I’m so happy we were able to find Samara to help with our pup this weekend! She was super flexible, responsive and understanding of Demi’s quirks. Plus Demi seemed to love sunbathing in her apartment! Would recommend Samara (and Bentley) to anyone looking for a home away from home for their pet. :)

Samara provided exceptional care for my dog, Daimyo. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care exceeded my expectations. She took the time to understand Daimyo's needs, provided regular updates with photos and videos, and ensured a seamless transition. Samara went above and beyond to keep Daimyo engaged and entertained. From engaging play sessions to enjoyable walks and interactive toys, she made sure Daimyo had a fantastic time. Samara followed instructions diligently and treated Daimyo like her own. I highly recommend Samara! I am so grateful for her and will undoubtedly reach out to her for any future dog-sitting needs.

Let me tell you about Samara, the awesome dog sitter who took care of my furry friend, Morgana. Their service was top-notch! Samara was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared for Morgana's well-being. Samara understood Morgana's needs and routine, ensuring a smooth and comfy experience. They kept me in the loop with regular updates, sending adorable photos and videos of Morgana having a blast. It gave me peace of mind knowing Morgana was in great hands. What sets Samara apart is their commitment to keeping Morgana entertained. They went the extra mile with fun play sessions, exciting walks, and interactive toys. Samara's love for dogs shone through in their exceptional care. I highly recommend Samara as an amazing dog sitter. Their passion and outstanding service made all the difference. I'll definitely be reaching out to Samara for future dog-sitting needs. Thanks a million, Samara, for taking such incredible care of Morgana!

Currently working 8 hour shift during the week so I can not take care of another pet during those hours. I CAN ONLY DO AFTERNOON DROP OFFS ON FRIDAYS. Weekends and afternoons are super flexible and I can make myself available. For boarding picks up on Sundays they must be picked up by 4pm and if they can’t be picked up by that time, I will need to charge a walking fee of $20.
