Pet care experience

Dog whisper at heart

I've been taking care of dogs since I was very young. Growing up, I helped my family with walking, bathing, and training. I have been a dedicated dog owner for the last 9 years raising a chihuahua Shih-Tzu mix and a Shih-Tzu mix.

sammantha was great! She was very prompt in her communications, and let me go about my day with ease, knowing my Plato was well cared for. Would book her again!

She was great with my little girl. This was my first time using her, but I’ll definitely come back! Great communication and clearly took good care of Lucy.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 23, 2025

Darla absolutely LOVED Sammantha and so did we! This was our first time in NYC and our first trip with our pup. With that said, leaving her with someone was heartbreaking, BUT, Sammantha put our hearts and our minds at ease from the very start. She is so easy going and worked fabulously with our crazy schedule. Whether we decided to drop off Darla late or early, or pick her up later than we planned for, Sammantha was accommodating with no issues. By the second day, Darla was so excited to see Sammantha, and by the third day, she could not get to Sammantha's place fast enough, so much so that she was dragging us through the streets of NYC. Sammantha is definitely someone you want to trust with your fur babies and my husband and I, highly recommend her. We will be back to NYC in the future and we WILL be contacting Sammantha for Darla.
