Sam is the kindest, sweetest sitter. I get so anxious leaving my cats behind when I travel for work. Sam communicates quickly and clearly, sends great updates and pictures. I really can’t recommend her enough!

Sam was an excellent sitter! If you're looking for someone attentive and responsible to take care of your pets, she's more than suitable for the task.

Sam took great care of our cat, giving her some much needed play time, and giving us peace of mind while we were far away on an extended vacation. And she took some fun pictures that gave us a smile and a laugh. Thanks, Sam!

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.
