Dog Lover 🩷

I'm back! After tearing my ACL last year, I took some time off from Rover to focus on healing and rehabilitation. I am excited to be back and look forward to spending time with your pets. I've been a cat and dog owner my entire life, and I have lots of experience here on Rover caring for many different breeds. I currently have 2 large high energy dogs, so I know how important it is for them to get daily exercise! I have quite a bit of experience dealing with behavioural issues including severe dog reactivity, and I'm a firm believer in the positive reinforcement approach. If you have concerns about your pets behaviour, please let me know ahead of time so that we can discuss it further. 😊

Drop-In Visits • Aug 24, 2025

Sam can always be trusted to do a great job with our dogs and house. She’s definitely one of my first choices when I need someone to stay with/drop in for a visit with my dogs.

I can always trust Sam to take care of our dogs well. She sends lots of photos of them and does a great job leaving the house as she found it. I will always be having Sam look after them whenever I can.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have a full time job with an inconsistent schedule (shift work), so my availability can vary. Please send me a message if you have any questions and to confirm my availability. For house sitting requests, your dog must be able to be left at home for approx 8 hours in case I have to work.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

While on walks, I prefer to keep the leash clipped to my belt to ensure your pet remains close and safe at all times. I'm happy to follow the same rules you have in place for your pup (getting them to 'sit' at crosswalks and corners, follow specific commands, etc.), just let me know! I enjoy taking pictures during visits and will he happy to provide lots of photos of your pet while in my care. 🥰

Pets

A typical day

I love to physically and mentally stimulate my dogs to tire them out. I enjoy taking them outdoors for long walks, playing fetch, and teaching them new tricks!

Please let me know if you have any special or specific requests for your pet, or if there's anything I should know ahead of time in order to provide them with the best possible experience. :) Generally, I like to discuss and be aware of the following things before walking your dog: - allergies - behaviour concerns (reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety) - manners (pulling on leash, biting leash) - pre-existing injuries, surgeries - equipment normally used (leash and collar, harness, halti, muzzle, slip lead) If there is anything else you feel is important for me to know about your pup, please let me know!
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.
