Highlights
Pet care experience
All Tails Wagging Guaranteed!
Hi, I’m Sam! My passion for animals started early—I began volunteering at local animal shelters at 14, walking dogs and helping with cat enrichment. Wanting to learn more about animal behavior, I completed a six-month Canine Psychology course at AnimalSense, focusing on positive reinforcement training. From there, I began working professionally as a dog walker and gained nearly 30 years of experience in various animal care facilities. Now, I work from home, offering boarding services in a cozy home setting. I keep my groups small to provide each pet with a calm, personalized experience, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for throughout their stay. I’d love to connect and help make your pet’s time away from home as relaxing and enjoyable as possible!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We were super happy with our experience with Sam from start to finish. He was very pleasant and communicative when I asked a bunch of questions before booking. He was super flexible and accommodating with the meet and greet. My pup usually is shy around strangers but she ran to him at the meet like he was a long lost friend. And then a few days later when we used him, she whined on his front porch with excitement. We appreciated the mid stay update and picture. She looked relaxed and had a smile on her face.
We love Samuel. He is great with Brandi and Ariel. They have so much fun with him.
Samuel is the best! We love him!
Samuel is the BEST!!!! I trust him with the care of my girls and they love being with him.
Samuel W. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
My girls love to hang out with Samuel. He takes very good care of them.

Schedule
I mostly work from home, so I’m with the pups for the majority of the day. Occasionally, I step out for a few hours to do dog walks, but otherwise, you’ll find me hanging out at home with the crew, keeping things calm and cozy
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an open home where pets can roam and enjoy plenty of playtime. My 8-foot fenced yard with secure locking gates gives them a safe space to run around. Inside, I keep multiple water bowls around the house and have slow feeders available for my more "hungry" guests. When boarding multiple dogs, I make sure to separate everyone during meals and when they’re alone to keep things calm and comfortable. I also have a variety of crates in different sizes and lots of comfy bedding to ensure each pet feels right at home
A typical day
There’s never a dull moment with the pups! We spend most of our time playing fetch or tug-of-war in the backyard. I also like to bring out puzzle treat games to keep their minds sharp. The pups get potty breaks every 2-4 hours, and when the weather is nice, I keep the back door open for constant access to the yard while I’m home. I focus primarily on the pets throughout the day, but I also work on a few projects around the house as needed
