“Samantha is a wonderful sitter who showed a great deal of patience with my dog (who can be anxious around people he doesn't know). She worked with us and was flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend her!”


“Miles is super dedicated to having everything go well. He's communicative, and he clearly cares about Charlie. This is my second time having him walk Charlie; the first time was for several days in a row. When I book half an hour, and Miles goes for 45 min (unless Charlie isn't in the mood). When we had a miscommunication once, Miles bent over backwards trying to make things come out right. My neighbors, who have to coordinate things with Mike's sometimes like access to the house, are happy with him as well.”

About: In my life, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even ducks! I love all kinds of animals. If you’re anything like me, your pets are family, and they deserve to be treated that way! I have a pretty open and flexible schedule, so caring for your pet or pets should be pretty easy for me to fit into my day. I know how important it is to allow your pet time to have some exercise and fun. I will definitely spend some time with your “kids,” because I love being with them.

About: I have watched 2 dogs for a family on Rover, but that is the only professional experience i have. I used to walk my neighbors dog & I dog sit for my family all the time. I've watched them overnight and during the day. Also I've had different kinds of animals throughout my life that I've had to take care of, including dogs. My sisters have smaller dogs, but a lot of my family friends have bigger dogs like pitbulls. I personally love animals a lot, especially dogs. I work very well with them because of that. I have plenty of time during the day to spend time with your animals! I don’t work until 4 Saturday-Tuesday. I have open availability Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I have 2 cats and a bearded dragon that I love very much. I am currently not taking overnight stays because of it. My cats get stressed out and high anxiety with too much going on. My cats were only 2/3 weeks old when I rescued them, so they have some lingering issues from being separated from Mom too soon.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I’ve had a few dogs of my own and one now I have Enzo. I watch Ziggy (King Charles) and Zoey Golden Doodle when needed. I’m retired and home daily. I normally take a walk in the morning and evening sometimes in the afternoon. Dinner between five and six . I have a fenced in yard so the dogs that they can play. I give him a snack let them relax. We all have dinner between five and six. Bedtime 10
