History

Established in 2014.

Life in the Bay Area can be fast-​paced and hectic and we often find ourselves with limited time to spend with our four-​legged friends. Pawsitopia was founded with the intention to bring enrichment and joy into your dog’s life with daily hikes, strolls and plenty of playtime. Our goal is to make your life a little easier and your dog’s life a little more adventure-​filled. Exercise and socialization are the keys to keeping man’s (and woman’s!) best friend happy and healthy and we provide them this necessity in a safe, force-​free and positive environment.

From off-​leash group romps through the Oakland hills, to individual neighborhood walks, to drop-​in wellness visits while you’re at work or taking a much needed vacation, Pawsitopia is dedicated to providing you and your pets with love, comfort, activity and attention, and YOU with peace of mind. We serve the City of Alameda and its island pups!

Meet the Business Owner

Samantha A.

Business Owner

Hi There! I’m Samantha Albert, founder and owner of Pawsitopia. Animals have always been a major part of my life. Not all that surprisingly, my first word was «Dog,» and I truly believe that even then, I knew that I was meant to be a canine ambassador. I’ve been working in animal care and animal rescue for 6+ years and have rescued and helped find homes for hundreds of cats and dogs.

I received a certificate of completion from Marin Humane Society Canine Behavior Academy 1 and am currently enrolled in The Academy for Dog Trainers. I have a B.A. in Journalism from California State University Chico. I am a graduate of the dog*tec Dog Walking Academy, certified in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR, as well as licensed and insured.

What can I say??? Samantha, the owner is AMAZING!!! I was very skeptical about getting a dog walker, bc I see most dog walkers take all their clients dogs to the dog park and play on their phone… SO… when I met Samantha and learned about her business, Pawsitopia, I was very impressed. She has a extensive background with dogs and training. She offers multiple services, but the service I used was the, «Walkies.» My dog, Trigger, was picked up on MWF and those were his favorite days of the week. A little background on my dog, is that he is very friendly with other dogs, but gets a little nervous around people he doesn’t know. So, when Samantha came for the 1st time, it took her over a half a hour to get my dog out of the house. SHE was AMAZING and PATIENT with him that made him feel comfortable to leave with her the 1st day. After that he would run down the stairs and wait for her at the door. My dog also does not like to be handled, (wiping paws and getting wiped down) Samantha, slowly was working with him to feel comfortable to let her touch his paws. She was so patient with him and understood him. Also, the bonus… my dog was already a good off leash walker, but, Samantha trained him to be better… so impressive! I love the way she loves my pup and the way she treated him. She is by far the best investment I made for my pup.
I hope that you find this review helpful!

Samantha is extremely professional and sensitive. Even though we were unable to use her services, she was compassionate, understanding, and helpful. In the future, I intend to refer people to her, and hopefully use her when situations oblige. Thank you for your help, Samantha!

I recently went out of town and like any other dog «mom’ was a bit concerned that my dogs would not be taken care of in the manner to which they were accustomed. Boy was I wrong! Samantha went to my house and picked them up and spoiled them rotten. They had a great time… even the shy little «difficult» Shorty. No need to look any further for a dog walker.

Samantha had a series of training sessions with my dog Neo. There were a few issues we really needed help with: separation anxiety, recall and behavior when greeting visitors. We went through a few key approaches with the anxiety and now I’m able to leave him in there for short periods. With her help I realized that consistency and my own behavior are important in order to be successful in training and beyond. I’m very grateful for her help.

I recently had Samantha take my Reggie for a walk in San Francisco. Sam was such a joy and treated my little Reggie like he was her own. He came back one tuckered out pup after playing with Samantha all day. I will be using her every time I need a sitter, walker, and can’t wait for her to finish her training!
