Paw At Home

Your pet's home while you're away

Paw At Home
Sammi
Since 2023

Hi, I'm Sammi 🐾

I run Paw At Home, a private in-home pet service in North County San Diego. After losing my beloved 18-year-old schnauzer in 2021, I knew I wanted to share that love with other pets and their families.

Paw at Home was founded with one idea in mind: your pet's home away from home. Even when you're away, your fur baby deserves the same warmth, routine, and attention they get at home. Small group. Real walks. Genuine care.

With years of experience caring for senior dogs, medical needs, and everything in between, you're in good hands!
