Pet care experience

My name is Sam, I have been a pet owner for my whole life, including two dogs, two cats, two fish, and a hamster. I currently have a golden retriever who I would die for, and two of the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet. I have been a pet sitter for many friends and family members for years, and I will love your pets like they’re my own. I know it takes a lot of trust to leave your beloved animal in the care of someone else, and I will not let you down. I love animals, and will do everything in my power to make your pet feel safe and loved.

Sam watched our two energetic labs for 5 nights. Two big dogs can be a lot to handle on walks but Sam did a great job.

Sam is great! He has been available last minute on the days I need him and my dog liked him right away and he seemed to have great dog etiquette. My dog always seemed happy and ready for a nap when he got back. I’d definitely recommend Sam for walks!

Sam is a godsend. My dog loves him. He’s dependable and upbeat. Even in frigid temps he shows up as scheduled and with a smile. Moxie and I are so glad we’ve found him.

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.
