Pet care experience

On a mission to pet all the pups!

I've had pets for as long as I can remember, and find them better company than people more often than not! Recently lost my pooch, so I'd love to get as much doggie time as possible with anyone else's. ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can't take pets into my home as of right now, but I am an exceptionally clean person who will take great care of your space if I'm in it. And obviously your pets too! I will keep them to your schedule and play and cuddle with them as much as they'll let me. I require meet and greets with all new clients, as I will not do drop ins or walks with dogs I have not met prior to the bookings. It is a safety issue, those dogs won't know me and I'd be a stranger invading their territory.

This was our first time leaving our dog Hudson, so we were understandably anxious and worried leading up to our trip. Sam immediately put our minds at ease with her frequent communication, photos, and updates throughout our time away. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Hudson was with her, and it was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house, and truly could not have asked for a better experience or sitter. We are so grateful to Sam for taking such wonderful care of Hudson and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and we can’t wait to have her back again in the future!

Sam is amazing. Doesn't miss a beat when we have a list of things to keep our guy and Sam's things safe from our mischievous pup and is always reliable and great with communication.

Our dog Hudson loved Sam and warmed right up to her during her short visit. Sam arrived on time and is very friendly and personable, we feel so comfortable welcoming her into our home.

As usual, Sam took great care of our boy, left the house spotless, and daily updates Sam provided were always so welcomed for our peace of mind! Communication was always clear! Will use Sam again to watch our big guy!

Always a pleasure having Sam in our home! Louie was well taken care of our entire trip as usual so we could fully relax. Daily updates were greatly appreciated. Sam always made sure, even through a heat wave, that Louie was content! We came home to a very very happy guy!

Personally I like to know the highlights of their personality ahead of time. Are they cuddly? Standoffish? Slightly aggressive? Stubborn? Do they have special needs or are there very specific things I have to do to maintain their happiness? Also medications, food sensitivities/allergies, treat allowance, are they good with kids or strangers or should I avoid anyone during walks? Are there house rules like staying off furniture or wiping paws when coming inside? Are they fully house trained and if they have accidents, where are cleaning supplies? Sounds like a lot, but all pretty necessary knowledge in my opinion.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
