Pet care experience

Hello! Welcome to my pack!

Hello! My name is Sam. I’m a 26 years old and I’m just out of college. I’ve had all types of different animals through out my life. From snakes and lizards to dogs and cats. I even had chickens! I have been walking dogs for about 6 years now and I love it! It worked with school and my schedule! I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and even some cats too! I love to play with the dogs and give them all the pets and of the cats let me pet them as well. If they don’t thats ok! I just make sure they are ok and leave them be! Sometimes it takes some time for the animal to get used to me so I give them there space and let them come to me on their own!

We could have not ask for a better sitter. Sam not only took excellent care of our two dogs, but also our home. Our two Cairns loved Sam.

Schedule

Pet care is my only job as of right now, I leave the house to walk other dogs during the day, but often I stay home with the pets and work on what I bring to the house. I’ll go out for food and family time if needed.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sam can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If they take any medication, or vitamins. If the dogs are allowed one the furniture/bed. Are they friendly to other dogs and people. (I tend to keep them away from other dogs and people just out of habit. Unless I know 100% or they now the dog really well) Do they have any don’t touch areas, like the back of the legs or maybe the collars. Any signals they do and what do they mean, like nipping at the back of the heals to go outside.
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.
