About Us

Our Story

Hi I'm Sam Vukanovich and have always been an animal lover. I volunteered for many years at the San Francisco Animal Control Center. 14 years ago I graduated from Dog Tech Academy where I became Pet CPR/First Aid Certified and started my dog care business, which quickly grew and I became a successful dog walker, sitter and boarder in San Francisco.

Tony Schwally has been walking and taking care of dogs for 8 years in San Francisco and has extensive experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes.

We both relocated to Cathedral City where we are continuing our work in pet services. We are a dedicated couple who prioritizes the welfare of dogs and strictly follows owners' instructions. We offer services for small and large dogs, puppies, senior dogs, as well as dogs with special needs. Our website showcases detailed information about our services, pricing, galleries of happy clients, and ways to get in touch with us.

Rebecca Weill

Scout

For the past 10 years, Sam has been an absolute godsend for me and my beloved dog Scout. Sam’s warmth, skills, and conscientious care have made him more than just a dog sitter and walker—he’s become family. Whether taking Scout on daily walks or caring for her while I traveled, Sam's reliability and affection have been unmatched. Scout adores him, and her excitement whenever she sees him speaks volumes. You couldn't ask for a better person to look after your furry children and companions!

Daisy

I was lucky enough to work with Sam for over 10 years while he was in the Bay Area, where he would care for our Boxer anytime we were out of town. I cannot say enough good things about Sam: he's a dog person to the core who is caring, kind, and trustworthy. He cared for our dog like his own, and anytime he'd stop by to get our house key ahead of our next trip, our Boxer would light up with joy and enthusiasm at the sight of him. Sam is simply the best.

Gunner

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and dedication Tony provided to our dog Gunner over the past eight years. From the very first walk, it was clear that Tony had a deep love for dogs and an innate ability to connect with each one on a personal level.

I always felt reassured knowing that Gunner was in such capable and compassionate hands. Tony went above and beyond, not only ensuring Gunner’s safety and well-being but also enriching Gunner’s life with engaging walks and plenty of love.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tony to anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog walker. Tony’s passion for animals is evident in everything he does, and I am confident that he will provide the same exceptional service to others as he did for us.
