Sam is highly attentive, responsive, and a tremendous steward of pets! Our dog Sequoia always gets REALLY excited when Sam swings by to keep an eye on him. 5/5 stars!

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.
