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)

This is our 3rd time leaving our dog Boba with Sam- but this time we had a big favor to ask Sam. We had her watch Boba during our wedding weekend and bring Boba to the ceremony so Boba could sign our marriage license! Sam is ALWAYS so great when watching Boba normally. She is always so good to the dogs and always send lots of pictures. But this was so incredible to have our dog present on our wedding day and able to be part of it while receiving great care. Sam was more than willing and happy and was so great with Boba and handling her at the wedding. Boba is counting down the days until she can go back and see Sam and Stella! If you want peace of mind while leaving your fur baby with someone- book with Sam!

Sam is the best!! Riley loves going over there and is always so well taken care of. Lots of cute pics too so you don’t miss your fur baby so much 😊

Meet Sam before our trip to see how my dogs did with her. They liked her right away and her dog Stella. Sam sent me updates on how they were doing which I appreciated as I have never left them with anyone but family. Our trip took us internationall and Sam sent texts according to our time (very thoughtful). She even sang to my dogs on their birthday! My dogs bonded with her and I will definately use her again and would recommend her to all.

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!

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.
