Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible, trustworthy & fun!
**Some important schedule information before you reach out for excellent, loving and playful care for your pets...I hope this clarifies understanding of when I am available to offer my services. For overnight housesitting please note that the quote given here is for my arrival between 5-7pm and leaving in the morning usually somewhere around 9am. If I have no pressing obligations that morning, I may hang around and spend more time playing with your precious furbabies since I have no pets of my own and enjoy having fun and entertaining yours. When I can be available for extended care it begins at $125 per day, with allowances to leave for short periods of time for personal needs. The "extended care" listed on the app is somewhat confusing, so we can discuss a fair amount over the phone with the number that Rover has for us to contact each other. Please reach out if your pets would appreciate some extra play time or loving! Continued.... Now that I have been with Rover for a few years I'm finding what works best, schedule-wise, for requested overnights vs. extended care. Please read on to see which option will work for you and your pet. There are also updated notes on meet-n-greets and allergies. I aways wish to do a meet-n-greet so that we can get away from the computer screen and meet in person. You are welcome to use the Rover phone number and get in contact with me at any time! If you would like me to come for any of the overnight options, it's important for you to know that I have allergies to highly-scented and commercial products. Think: Glade plug-ins, airsprays and laundry detergents. Since, if I'm overnight I will be staying in a provided bed or other accommodation so the detergent used to wash the sheets can be an irritant. However, I'm find with eco-products as I use them myself, as long as they are not super-scented. That all being said, I love taking care of other peoples' animals since I have none of my own. I also appreciate the trust that has been given through my past clients, many who still are current clients! I'm happy to bring in the mail, water your plants, feed the fish, and take out the trash bins if you are gone during a pickup. I hope this will help to clear up some of the confusion regarding the overnight vs. full housesit and I look forward to taking care of your fur-babies!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My clients (and their owners) owners are my top priority. Since I enjoy travel I currently have no pets of my own. Being able to care for your pets is a bonus for me! Recently I started offering housesitting and it has been a very wonderful, positive experience. Doing my best in making sure your pets are well cared for and their needs are met. I enjoy taking the dogs for walks and giving kitties play time and snuggles, if they let me. Currently I am caring for a salt-water aquarium which requires very specific instructions and it's a joy to look at and observe. I even take care of my chiropractor''s fresh water tank. And I'm always available to communicate with my clients and send pics and videos.
Ratings and reviews
Sam did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kitties. She is kind, caring and communicative and gave my cats lots of love while I was away. She gave me updates and pictures which put my nerves at ease because I knew my babies were in good hands. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She went above and beyond for my kitties and I will be contacting her again for future pet sitting!
Sam was wonderful! She did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. Will definitely use her services again.
Sam was once again amazing in caring for our kitties! We went on a two-week trip to Japan, and encountered travel difficulties and delays in getting home. Sam dropped everything to stay an extra night with our two cats; we couldn’t be more grateful!
Sam takes such good care of both our spunky younger cat and quieter senior cat, making sure that both of them have what they need and what makes them happy. She even will bring them each a new toy sometimes! She has been dependable to a fault, with excellent daily updates and communication. She will continue to be our first choice and go-to to watch our cats and housesit for us when we are away!
Sam is a wonderful sitter - she provided so much time and attention to the pets, we knew immediately they were in great hands. The pets were happy and well-cared for when we returned, the house was clean and she took care of the plants also. She was great with updates and photos. A total pro. Our highest recommendation!
Sam continues to be our go-to for taking care of our cats when we are away from home! She always sends updates and pictures so we feel entirely in the loop. She also is so patient with our younger cat, who can be quite a handful. We’re so grateful to Sam for taking such good care of our cats!
