About: Hi, I'm Samantha! I was born and raised in the Marblehead and Port Clinton area and have spent my life around animals. I'm the proud owner of two dogs—Remy, my Husky, and Rayla, my Dalmatian—who fuel my passion for providing exceptional care to every dog I meet. With over 10 years of experience working with and around dogs, I have cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I also own and operate Puckett's Pups, a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Marblehead. Through my experience, I've learned that while many dogs enjoy a facility setting, some are happiest and most comfortable in their own home environment. That's why I joined Rover—to provide a safe, seamless, and personalized experience for dogs who may not do well in a traditional boarding facility or simply prefer the comfort of their own surroundings. Whether your pup needs drop-in visits, overnight care, or companionship while you're away, I am committed to maintaining their routine and providing the love, attention, and care they deserve. As a lifelong local resident and experienced dog care professional, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! While I primarily provide weekend care, I have a pretty flexible schedule while running my own business and can drop in / do walks during the week as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and ensure each pet receives individualized attention, affection, and care. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away. With over 10 years of experience working with dogs and as the owner of Puckett's Pups in Marblehead, I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest.

About: I am trustworthy to visit your pets in your home,and will provide them with the loving care as If they were my own. I am an active individual who loves walking , and would give your dogs plenty of excercise, make sure they have plenty of water and food. Over the year have had many dogs and have watched many peoples dogs and truly enjoy their company. Presently I have a large cane corso mix that is 150 lbs., so large dogs are not a problem. Since being a dog owner for many years, would be able to recognize any problems that your dog may be suffering from while you are away from home and get them the proper care they may need as soon as possible. I am currently retired so I am very flexible with my schedule. I am willing to work with you and your need for your furry family members. I have a fenced yard and I own a large sweet dog. He is walked twice a day, although he is older we still play often I play fetch tug of war and walks for clients pets

About: I’m 24 years old, im a part time stna and part time dog sitter! Im a pet owner, I’ve grew up with pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, goats. I love to care for animals/ people who can’t take care/speak for themselves😇 I currently work a part time, night shift job during the week Tuesday-Thursday. I am available on weekends at ANY TIME for boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits. And during the week I am also available any time after 9am! For any pet they need to be fed, bathed, time to play, let outside to potty and just be a nice companion to them everyday.

About: 20+ years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs in home environments. Experienced with multi-pet households, senior pet care, kitten/puppy routines, enrichment play, litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and administering medications. Known for patience, attentiveness, and creating low-stress, comforting environments for pets while owners are away. I am currently in the process of finishing my degree. I have a lot of extra time and I love animals so I figured I would give this a shot. I attend college online so I can travel with my schooling. I provide consistent, attentive care in both settings by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, play, and medication if needed. In my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with supervision, safe spaces, enrichment activities, and structured routines that reduce stress and encourage comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines exactly as instructed, ensuring pets feel secure in their familiar environment while keeping everything clean, organized, and updated. Across both, I focus on reading behavior, providing companionship, and making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood while their owners are away.
