EVERY DOG HAS A TALE TO TELL

About Us

Why "The Dog’s Tale"? Because every dog has a tale to tell. We believe dogs are family and deserve our love and care. They depend entirely on their owners, trusting us completely, so it's our job to take care of them. 

As proud owners of four dogs (and we'd happily take in a hundred more), we know what it means to treat them like family. The Dog’s Tale will provide 100% devotion to your dog as long as they are under our care. Chow time, treats, walks, belly rubs, even snuggles, are an utmost priority in this business.

What makes The Dog’s Tale unique is our personal touch. Inspired by our own collection of countless dog photos and videos, we decided to offer the same for you. We create personalized stories for your dog, capturing those special moments you might miss. Let us tell your dog's tale, because they're not just pets—they're family.

  • I had the pleasure of hiring Sammie and The Dog's Tale to look after our dog, cat and home while we were away, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Sammie demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that exceeded my expectations. From the moment we discussed the arrangements, Sammie was organized, punctual, and very attentive to all the details. Sammie took excellent care of our pets and home, ensuring that everything was maintained just as I had left it. I returned to a spotless house, with all tasks I requested, handled impeccably. Communication throughout my time away was clear and timely. Sammie provided updates and promptly responded to any questions or concerns I had, which gave me great peace of mind while away. I highly recommend Sammie and The Dog's Tale to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy house sitter. I would not hesitate to hire The Dog's Tale again in the future.

  • "We cannot recommend Sammie & Jorge enough as trustworthy house sitters and caretakers to our fur babies! We have used The dogs Tale for in-home house sitting at least 6 times over the last 2+ years to watch over our mostly blind senior cat and 2 large-breed rescue dogs that need long walks. They have wonderful communication and send adorable pictures and videos of our pets while in their care, and it is obvious that all our animals absolutely adore them (our grumpy doesn’t even let me pick him up, but loves when Jorge picks him up for cuddles) Upon our return we have always found our house to be clean and well kept- often cleaner than we left it! We are so grateful to have found a trusted, dependable source for pet care which allows us to travel stress-free knowing our fur babies, home, and even our house plants are being well taken care of in our absence. I am happy to serve as a reference and answer any questions one might have as a prospective client!"

  • I have been a long time client of Sammie and Jorge. My Great Pyrenees Bria and my funny Siamese cat Jack were in need of in home care while I traveled. They were senior animals and needed extra care. Medications, feeding schedules and of course like all animals someone to understand their unique behaviors. I definitely got that with Sammie and Jorge. Their knowledge is one thing, but their compassion and love for all living beings (including the parents of said animals) is what shines through most. They are trusted and reliable!

  • “We had the pleasure of having Samantha stay overnight in our home on a couple of occasions to watch our greyhound and two cats. She sent us update photos while we were away and she clearly bonded in a short period of time with our elderly greyhound which made us very comfortable and able to enjoy our time away from home. We would recommend Samantha to anyone who wants to be able to actually enjoy themselves when they leave their animals. She can handle large, challenging dogs who get up during the night to be let out to pee, as well as needy-yet-obnoxious cats.”

  • “Sammie is a responsible and dedicated dog walker. It is such a relief to know she is there to take care of my babies when I am at work or away. My dogs love her and I know that they are in great hands when they are entrusted in her capable care. Thank you Sammie!”

  • "I always know my dog is in good hands with The Dog’s Tale!!! When we needed someone to stay with our pup overnight, The Dog’s Tale made us feel so comfortable leaving her. This company is professional and trustworthy. Upon coming home, we received a note with some cute pictures of our dog. I would definitely recommend The Dog’s Tale for a walk, overnight stay, or whatever you need. You can tell that Sammie truly loves animals and that is priceless. It means a lot to be able to trust my home and my dog with someone and I trust all of this with The Dog’s Tale."

    — Jill Maraist

  • ”Sammie really came through for us in a pinch. With one days notice she was able to take care of our three dogs and cat at our home for the weekend. She did a great job. Everybody was wagging their tails when we arrived home. Sammie’s doggie updates and pics really made our day while we were gone.”

  • “Sammie worked for my licensed and insured professional pet care company for over 2 years. My clients loved her and always asked for her. She is reliable, trustworthy and kind. She loves animals and treats your pets as if they were her own. You can feel completely comfortable and happy leaving your pet in her care. I’d highly recommend Sammie as a pet care provider and so would multiple clients that I have.” — Megan Boyce, O
