“Samantha was great with our dogs! My border collie is a sensitive soul and she felt comfortable immediately at Samantha’s which is a huge compliment to Samantha! Our Irish setter is a year old and still has a lot of puppy in him. He is a little bit of a trouble maker and Samantha bonded with him and was able to navigate some of his behaviors with comfort. I will definitely go back to Samantha! Thank you so much for taking excellent care of our dogs, Samantha!”

About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover and hands-on pet owner my entire life, with over 25+ years of practical experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. ​Because I currently do not have any resident pets of my own, my home offers a quiet, stress-free environment where your dog gets my full, undivided love and attention! ​As a dedicated full-time host, your pet will enjoy constant supervision, structured routines, and plenty of individual care. I specialize in hosting crate-trained, spayed/neutered adult dogs who thrive in a calm, safe setting. For maximum safety, all guest dogs are accompanied on a secure leash during outdoor yard breaks. ​Whether relaxing indoors or enjoying individual play, I treat every guest dog with the exact same care and attention as my own! Because I provide full-time, in-home pet care, my daily schedule completely revolves around my guest dogs! ​My routine is structured around consistent check-ins, regular scheduled potty and stretch breaks, and supervised playtime. Because I am home all day, your dog will never be left unattended for long stretches. ​A Typical Day Includes: ​Morning: A bright start with an outdoor potty walk on a secure leash, fresh water, and breakfast served right in their designated feeding or crate spaces. ​Midday: Regular indoor playtime, companionship, and scheduled afternoon yard breaks. ​Evening: Dinner, a relaxing evening potty walk, and settling down for a quiet, restful night in their comfortable crate. ​Whether it’s a weekday or a busy weekend, my schedule is entirely flexible and focused on keeping your dog safe, happy, and on a comfortable routine! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My 1,300 sq. ft. home provides a clean, calm, and welcoming environment tailored specifically for guest dogs. ​Here is how I care for guest pets in my home: ​Dedicated Crate & Rest Spaces: To ensure every dog feels secure and gets proper downtime, I require owners to bring their dog's familiar crate. Crates are kept in dedicated rest areas for quiet bedtimes, mealtime separation, and brief quiet periods. ​100% Leash-Guided Yard Time: Safety comes first! My backyard has open sections, so all guest dogs are walked on a secure leash or long line for all potty breaks and stretch sessions. Your dog will never be left unsupervised outside. ​Zero Territorial Stress: Since I do not currently have any resident pets, your dog gets my full, undivided attention without any resident dog friction. ​Structured & Safe Supervision: With a strict limit of 3 to 4 guest dogs at a time, I keep group dynamics peaceful and stress-free. Dogs are fed separately in their own spaces to eliminate food tension, and I maintain regular updates and photos for owners throughout the stay. ​I treat every dog staying under my roof with the utmost care, respect, and family affection!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for multiple friends and family members, caring for their pets while they were away and making sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! As a medical student, I spend a lot of my weekends relaxing at home, studying, and enjoying time outdoors—so your pet will have plenty of company! Dogs can expect lots of walks, outdoor playtime, and attention throughout the day. For cats who prefer a cozier weekend, I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and cuddles (if they want them!) and would love to have them as my study buddy. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and exercise. I also have a friendly 8-month-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends and having a playmate! If your pet prefers their own space or needs time to decompress, I’m happy to keep them separated as needed. Inside my home, I have a separate guest bedroom where your pet can have a quiet, comfortable space of their own. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level to make their stay feel as safe and stress-free as possible.

“I can't praise Laura enough. She is a wonderful person and not only loves dogs, but also knows how to take care of them. She has a great place (with garden) and only takes one dog at a time (which is very important to me). My dog clearly had a wonderful time with Laura. On top of that Laura sent me several updates (with pictures) every day, so I was totally in the loop of my dog's daily routine. I will book Laura again and again, and I can already see my dog's tail wagging when she figures out that we're driving to Laura's house...”

We highly recommend Janiya to care for your pet. Hey professionalism and kindness goes a long way and she will most certainly have a lifetime client!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Madison home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Madison.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Madison sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter 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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
