Forest Retreat for Your Pup

Hi! I’m Sam, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet carer based in a peaceful forest setting in Henderson. I offer home-based pet sitting where your dog can feel calm, comfortable, and truly cared for—surrounded by nature, fresh air, and friendly company.

I run the Auckland Griffon Club and share my home with a cheerful squad of griffons. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all kinds—including anxious pups, seniors, and those with medical needs. I understand how important routine, patience, and gentle care are, and I’m committed to making each dog feel safe and at ease.

Our forest surroundings provide a unique and enriching experience, with daily walks on quiet trails, a secure fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and a relaxed, home-like atmosphere perfect for both playful and laid-back dogs.

What I offer:
Calm, nature-based home environment
Daily forest walks and supervised play.
Experience with anxious dogs, seniors, and medical needs.
Special care for small breeds.
Regular updates and photos.
Flexible drop-off and pick-up times.
Vaccinated dogs only (for the safety of all guests).

Whether you’re heading away for a weekend or a longer trip, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in capable, loving hands.

Feel free to reach out to arrange a meet and greet—I’d love to hear all about your dog and how I can help!
