Pet care experience

Pet lover who has base access!

I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and family since I was 15 years old. I’ve been relied on for walks, feeding, and just giving the animal company. I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have had 2 dogs of my own while living at my parents house with two extremely different energies that I kept up with (basset hound and Belgian malinois). I have dog sat in a home with up to 5 dogs ranging in size from dachshund to golden retriever. I also have experience with large breeds, specifically a couple of Great Dane/mastiff mixes. I have walked up to 2 dogs simultaneously. Dogs and cats are my love and since I can’t have any dogs of my own your dog will be treated as my own! I am comfortable with most other pets as well. I have experience with ducks, chickens, turtles, and pigeons. I also am good on taking care of the house while you’re away so there’s less to worry about when you get home. I can get mail, take the garbage out to the curb and back, or any other house up-keep you may want me to do. Just let me know!

Safety, trust & environment

I can easily crate animals if needed and have no problems sticking to their schedule to make sure they get let out. I have no problems cleaning up after any accidents that may happen. Schedule and routine is important to me, especially when it comes to feeding times.

House Sitting • Sep 21, 2025

Sam did a wonderful job house sitting and watching my cats. She put in the effort to gain their trust and kept them close to their routine. She sent pictures and videos throughout the week and kept me updated and was very responsive. She is responsible and kept the house in order. My cats seemed happy and relaxed when i returned home. Highly recommend!

Sam did drop in visits for my cat while I was away for 2 weeks. Professional in every degree. Would be lucky to hire her again for future needs!

Sam was AMAZING! She is extremely timely, followed instructions and was excellent with her communication. She made my family feel safe and comfortable while we were away.

Sam did a great job and my pets were well cared for while I was gone for the weekend. She seemed to truly enjoy my VERY energetic and sometimes anxious dog who was happy to hang out with Sam in our absence. I would highly recommend Sam for house sitting.

Schedule

I work 8-4 Mon-Fri with an hour lunch whenever I decide to take it. My job is very loose with times as well, so sometimes my hour lunch is a little longer if need be, giving me time to finish walks, take dogs outside, etc. My weekends are pretty open and dictated by the schedule your animal needs!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sam can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If they need medication, have specific routines, or any problem behavior-behavior that you’ve deemed a problem, not at my discretion- to look out for (potty accidents, jumping on furniture, etc) or training that needs to be done.
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.
