About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one — I grew up with everything from spirited poodles to goofy Portuguese Water Dogs to stubborn, sausage-shaped dachshunds, so I’ve got a soft spot for every size, coat, and personality quirk. That early exposure turned into a real passion, and I’ve been professionally walking and sitting dogs since I was 18. I’m an active, outdoorsy person, and I bring that energy to every walk and visit — plenty of play, exploration, and enthusiasm, tailored to whatever your dog is into (fetch fanatic, sniff-everything explorer, or couch cuddler, I’m here for it). What I love most about this work is getting to know each dog as an individual: their quirks, their personalities, their little routines. I treat every dog in my care like my own 🐶🩷 I just moved here and have nothing but time! I am doing some research part time from home, but will have lots of time for your pet :) I know inviting someone into your home to care for your dog is a big trust to extend, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m highly educated, reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, keep your home just as tidy as I found it, and send you photo and video updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority: I’m careful with doors and gates, attentive to any anxiety or health needs, and quick to reach out if anything ever seems off. You can relax knowing your dog — and your home — are in good hands.
About: Hi there! My name is Samantha and since I am home full-time, your pets will receive my undivided attention and a flexible routine tailored exactly to their needs. I genuinely love both cats and dogs, and I focus on providing a calm and reliable presence. Whether I am staying at your home, dropping in, or out on a walk, your pet's safety is my absolute top priority. I can confidently monitor everything they chew on, what they eat, and keep a strict, watchful eye whenever they are outside around other dogs. What sets me apart is my extensive, practical experience with medical and senior care. I am entirely comfortable administering pills, liquids, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin). Services I Offer: ~In-Your-Home Sitting, Walks, & Drop-Ins: Available for cats and dogs of all ages. ~Senior-Only Boarding (My Home): I live right on a beautiful trail system perfect for peaceful, low-impact walks! I have two sweet senior dogs of my own who love calm company. Because my dogs prefer a quiet environment, I happily open my home to fellow senior dogs only—no energetic puppies, just a relaxed space for older pups to lounge and stroll safely.I treat every animal in my care with the same love, protection, and respect I give my own! Because I am home full-time with an open schedule, I am flexible and can easily structure my days around your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication timelines. My regular day already revolves around senior pet care. I live right on a beautiful trail system, so my mornings and evenings include peaceful, low-impact trail walks. If I am house sitting for you, doing drop-ins, or hosting a fellow senior dog at my place, your pet will seamlessly fit into this relaxed, attentive routine. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): When I watch your pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine exactly as it is to prevent any stress. I am hyper-vigilant about their safety. I closely monitor everything they chew on or eat, and I keep a watchful eye whenever we are outside around other dogs. I am highly experienced with medical routines, so I can smoothly handle precise schedules for pills, liquid medications, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin).
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 15 and have loved every minute! I spent a year working for Telluride Humane Society in Telluride CO where I got to socialize rescue animals and get them acclimated to life in a home. I have experience caring for senior dogs with mobility issues as well as developing and executing a plan to get over weight dogs healthy again. I took a break from Rover during my undergrad to focus more on my studies, but as a graduate student at MSU I have a fairly flexible schedule and am excited to start taking care of pets again! I am currently a graduate student at MSU with a fairly consistent but open schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have class until 1pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays are entirely set aside for my personal research which means that I am on my own schedule and have more flexibility to help! I love an affectionate pet and am happy to give them plenty of love and attention! Though, I also understand that some of them prefer to keep to themselves especially around a new person. I believe I know how to read their body language and figure out where to go from there. I would love to be able to take care of pets at my own home, but our homeowners don’t allow it so I would mainly have to do house visits (which I think is more comfortable for the pet anyway).
About: I have owned dogs and a wide variety of other animal my entire life. I find joy in taking care of them! Providing care for your animals will be a pleasure and fun experience for the both of us. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to make your furry friends my main priority. I have also trained just about every dog that I have had. I can not only take care of your dogs, but other animals, too, if that is a necessity. Photo Updates Included! Thank you for considering me as an option when looking for a caregiver for your dogs! I work part-time currently and am able to make my own schedule. Let me know what schedule you need care and I will be able to make something work! I have a fenced in yard, a dog door in the house, and a mini golden doodle that is super friendly and loves to make new friends.

Once they feel comfortable, I focus on providing attentive care, companionship, and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs during walks, breaks, and daily care.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Hoffman. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
