Your fur baby is family♥

Pet care experience

I respect all rules/wishes of your fur baby. I (Samantha) have raised my beagle since he was a puppy, he was 17 years old. His roommate is an eight year old outdoor/indoor stray cat I adopted best of both worlds! The two do get along and it's wonderful. He used to bark/chase cats, so he surprised me! I get excited when I see other fur babies and would not mind helping a fellow animal lover the way I've been helped out when I can't watch my fur babies (my friend ironically introduced rover to me when he took care of my dog with his rover dogs). I understand the stress of finding the right person to watch them and I want to be that person to help you. Update 7/16/20: -Riley (beagle) has been put to rest in heaven now. I will miss him dearly, he had kidney failure and arthritis in his back legs. I did not want him to be in any more pain, the vet said it was the right choice due to his body failing him. Rest in peace...❤️ I work 0830-1700 (8:30am to 5:00pm) I try to update my calendar daily. Please ask. I prefer to know as early as possible but I am able to fit some folks in at the last minute. Things I figure out during the meet and greet, finding out what your expectations are and where everything is located, and how you want things done.

Sam went above and beyond expectations and took amazing care our dog. She was extremely thorough and sent tons of photos. It was a pleasure having her here to pet sit

Sam (And Ali) did a great job doing drop in visits for Milo while I was away. We appreciate the care and attention they gave!

We had a great experience with Sam! It was the first time we had used Rover and we were a bit nervous having a stranger house sit our aging dog. Sam was amazing! She always kept us updated. She sent lots of photos. Her number one concern was always the well being of our dog. Sam is kind, caring and responsible. We came home to a very happy dog and clean house. We will definitely be using Sam again in the future!

Sam was so great! It was a new experience for me leaving my two dogs with someone other than friends/family so I was nervous, and she was so communicative the whole time I was out of town. I felt really comfortable knowing that they were in great hands and the dogs clearly loved her. Will definitely use her again!
