Boarding for Dogs at our home in nevada city, CAlifornia

 

While you're away, let your dog
enjoy a retreat of their own.

At Sama Dog’s B&B for Dogs, your pup stays right here with us, living indoors and outdoors as part of our daily life. They’ll enjoy the comforts of a real home, not a kennel - just soft beds, dog friends, open space, and a peaceful flow.

We tailor each guest’s experience to their unique needs and personality, whether they’re a social butterfly, a snuggle bug, a lone wolf, or a delicate senior.

  • Play and social time with our well-balanced pack

  • Crates & pens available but no requirement to use them - we have dog beds in every room

  • Intentionally small group: calm, safe, and overseen

  • Pet CPR + First Aid certified care

  • Safe, supervised access to fenced outdoor space

  • Nourishing snacks & purified water

  • Daily nature time & optional guided pack walks

Testimonials

 

“I was lucky to discover Sama Dog when looking for a place to board my 17-month-old Cavapoo near Nevada City. Every other option consisted of kennels with scheduled exercise and social breaks. At Sama Dog my Sparky was quickly and easily incorporated into the home life of Amanda and Rene and their two dogs, Violet and Benny. Amanda listened carefully to my concerns and desires for Sparky as he had recently been experiencing significant separation anxiety with all the changes in our lives…. Sama Dog is any pet owner's dream and source of peace-of-mind.”
– Donna N & Sparky

 

“We've trusted Amanda at Sama Dog with our little Luna at least six times in the past year-and-a-half. Every time Amanda eagerly greets us and takes wonderful care of Luna. We greatly appreciate getting frequent "pupdates" and pictures of Luna during her stay. It makes us so happy to see that our little LuniBear is having such a great time on walks, at the park, or just snuggling with Amanda. And we know that Luna loves it at Sama Dog because she's always excited when we pull up to drop her off, and is not eager to leave when we're picking her up.”
– Drew K & Luna
