About
My name is Samantha, and I’m no stranger to the smile that comes from being around dogs. I started with a dream in mind—the idea of surrounding myself with animals every day. We strive to meet each pet exactly where they are. We take the time to learn their rhythms, understand their language, and honor the little things that makes them who they are. From the way they like their meals prepared to the exact spot they prefer to nap, we believe those details matter. Because to us, pet care isn’t just about meeting basic needs—it’s about creating connection. It’s about showing up with presence, with patience, and with a heart wide open. Our story started one weekend in October, we were having the time of our lives celebrating our marriage. We trusted someone with our pets, believing they would care for them as we would—with love. But that trust was shattered. What was supposed to be a simple act—leaving them in the hands of a caregiver—turned into a nightmare. The details are painful, too painful to relive over and over again, but the weight of it still lingers. The helplessness we felt when we realized our pet had suffered, the gut-wrenching realization that we had failed them by trusting the wrong person. We replayed those thoughts over and over, but no amount of regret could undo the past. The only thing we could do was make a promise—a vow that no pet under our care would ever experience what ours did. We knew there were others—other pet parents who carried the same fears, the same worries, the same desperation to find someone who would care as much as they do. We couldn’t erase our pain, but we could turn it into something meaningful. We dedicated ourselves to becoming the caregivers we once needed. To ensuring that every pet in our care feels safe, loved, and truly at home. To proving that pet sitting isn’t just a service—it’s a responsibility, a commitment, and a promise. Because every animal deserves kindness, comfort, and love—even when their humans aren’t there. We care with depth, with reverence, and a promise to offer the kind of care we once needed—honest, attentive, and heart-first.

What can I say about these wonderful humans? They responded right away in an emergency situation. My brother’s wedding venue last minute told us we weren’t allowed to leave the dogs, even if they were in crates, so as maid of honor, I was on a hunt. Wags & Woof were very accommodating and responded almost immediately. We chatted a bit and we felt so comfortable just through text, that it was a no-brainer. They arrived early, met with the pups and were just so kind knowing I was running around doing maid of honor duties. They communicated with the Maitre’d when I was unavailable and just made this experience super seamless. They sent pictures throughout the night which kept the bride & groom off edge when thinking about their fur babies. I would hire them over and over again. Thank you again for everything. We appreciate you so much!

Sam and Pete were amazing! They were very accommodating, flexible, and left us feeling at ease about leaving our pup with them. They sent constant updates and pictures. You can tell they truly love and care for each dog they watch. Our dog came back even a little more even tempered! So happy we finally found a good dog sitter. Will definitely be using them again!!

I couldn't be more thrilled with the incredible care that Samantha and Peter provided for my six Yorkies, including two adults and four lively four-month-old puppies. From the moment I met them, I knew my furry family was in excellent hands.Samantha and Peter treated my dogs as if they were their own, giving each one individual attention and love. The pups had an absolute blast and came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. It's clear that they have a genuine passion for animals and a remarkable ability to handle even the most energetic of puppies.Their dedication and professionalism are unmatched. I highly recommend Samantha and Peter to anyone in need of exceptional pet sitters. They truly went above and beyond, ensuring my Yorkies had the best care and fun-filled days. Thank you, Sam for giving me peace of mind and for treating my dogs like family!
