Pet care experience

I will love your pet for you, WFH

I am a huge animal lover, I will love your pet as if they are my own. I'm home all day- My pug, Stella, is very sweet and loves everyone. Our daily life is pretty low-key, we have plenty of time for potty breaks and love. I will send great quality photos (I worked for Verizon and facilitated photo workshops, I also had the highest customer service rating in the entire country) My goal is to provide you the same peace of mind that I would want with my dog if I were away. Twenty years ago, I was a camp director (responsible for 140+ horses and 100+ campers at a time) I can handle anything! I work from home and I very rarely leave- I prefer healthy dogs under 35lbs (anything bigger is just not enjoyable for my dog and my space) * I ONLY take on 2 pets (sometimes 3) at a time- I want to ensure your pet is getting the attention they need (some Rovers charge the same price for 8+ pets at a time- that's just not me- I want to love your pet and give you peace of mind while you are away) * Pleeeeeeease do not ask me to board your large breed dog (puppies included)

Sam was so wonderful with my dog Ivy! She shares lots of updates and always responds quickly! Ivy had lots of walks, play, and cuddles. I’d absolutely recommend Sam (& Stella 🐾)!!

Sam was absolutely wonderful! She not only helped me with such short notice, but also made my pup feel welcomed (which is not easy considering my dog is timid). I’ll be going back to her for sure!

Sam was so kind and attentive!! Obie had a blast. Sam was very communicative and attentive, and sent me plenty of pics and vids while I was away. I appreciated her care and warmth, it made me more comfortable as this was my first time on Rover. Will book again!

Sam did such an amazing job with our 6 month old puppy (who can be pretty crazy). This was our first time leaving our puppy and couldn’t have left him with anyone better. She sent plenty of photos and videos and always kept us updated. She also put his medicine on him daily in addition to all the basics! She was wonderful with working with us on coordinating pick up and drop off and that was one of the best parts. She was super communicative and always quick to respond and work with my busy schedule. I will definitely be sending our puppy back there. He adores her!! I highly recommend Sam over and over!

Sam did a great job as usual! She communicates with me to let me know how Oran is doing and I know she pampers him like he’s her own! I will definitely rebook with Sam!❤️

Sam was amazing with Marty! She took such great care of him and kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Marty had a great time with her (and loved playing with Stella!), and it was obvious he was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. We came home to a happy puppy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely responsible, 20 years ago, I was a director of a children's horse camp, I had full responsibility of 100+ kids and 100+ horses each week, I can handle anything on Rover 👍 I have the decision-making skills to take care of any situation that comes my way. My place is very clean, I don't have anyone entering my home and I am always here!

Pets

A typical day

Your pet will be very loved and well taken care of while they are with me. My goal is to make sure you can enjoy wherever you are and know that your fur baby is well taken care of. I can ensure at least a walk a day, plenty of potty breaks and outside time when the weather is appropriate, I work from home and rarely leave.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Sam can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know if there's anything special that your dog needs and I can likely accommodate. If you have a frequent barker, I would not be a good option.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
