Safety, trust & environment

I do not board in my home, but when I am attending to client's pets in their home, I make sure I have the pet's schedule to follow. I treat clients' animals as if they were my own!

Information Samayyah O. would like to know about your pet

Before I sit your special baby I would just like to meet them and you and speak with you about the basics such as bite history, medications (if any), feeding schedules, and any other special needs she/he might have.

A typical day

I usually love to bring my dog to long, challenging trails. It wears out his energy and we both have a great time viewing the scenery and testing our endurance. I also will enjoy playing fetch, frisbee, chase, or any of your pups favorite games while watching them!

Pet care experience

Hi there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Samayyah, a lifelong animal enthusiast who’s been caring for pets since I was 14. Over the years I’ve worn many hats—kennel attendant, doggie day-camp director, dog trainer, and even pharmacy tech at a pet pharmacy. From giving meds to bath time, feeding, and training, I’ve pretty much done it all. I’m also a proud rescue mom to a Pitbull/Mastiff mix. He came to me with a tough past and some fear-aggression, but with patience and love we’ve made amazing progress together. That journey deepened my understanding of dogs with special challenges and reminded me how rewarding it is to help them feel safe and happy. And don’t worry—I haven’t forgotten about our feline friends! I absolutely adore cats and share my home with three beautiful girl cats who rule the house (as cats do). Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or a calm companion visit, I know how to make kitties feel comfortable and cared for too. Whether your pup is a couch cuddler or a high-energy zoomie champion, I can keep up. I’ve cared for as many as 41 dogs at once (yes, really!) and I’m certified in Animal First Aid & CPR. Quick on my feet, calm under pressure, and always ready with treats and belly rubs—that’s me. I’m currently in school, but I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule. Most of all, I promise to treat your furry family member like my own, making sure they’re loved, healthy, and having fun while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! —Samayyah 🐾

Sam was outstanding!!!!! She stayed with our dog for 2 weeks and did everything we asked of her. She’s kind, patient and an overall sweet individual. It was so nice to be able to go away and feel relaxed about leaving our pet. Highly recommend!!!

Sam was amazing! From the moment we met her we felt very comfortable leaving our pups in her care. The boys loved her too! She has helped us out a few times now and each time the boys see her you can tell how excited they are that she came back for another visit. Her experience with dogs is obvious in the way she interacts with them. She is also very affectionate and attentive to the boys. Happy we found her on Rover!
