I am currently attending school and would love to make some money with the down time that I have. The ability to make my own schedule is important and I love both cats and dogs, so animal and house care is a great fit for my schedule right now.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very good at taking direction and am highly organized as well as punctual. I highly value mutual respect between people I work with, their space and belongings, as well as their animal family members. I also enjoy being active and am more than willing to take dogs on runs instead of walks outside.

Information Sam S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed or age preferences and am comfortable giving animals oral medication. I am happy to run with high energy dogs in the warmer months but will need to know ahead of time that is an option the dog is looking for so I can bring everything that I need.

A typical day

I love to play, whether that means tug of war, fetch, runs, or chasing a string, but I also have no issue staying in and relaxing with more senior or less-energy animals. I am great at feeding and medicine schedules as well as taking specific direction to make sure the animal I am caring for is comfortable while their family is away for hours or for days.

Sam is an incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and hardworking person. He's attentive to routines, communicates clearly and consistently, and is an avid animal lover. Anyone working with Sam can expect someone who is responsible and genuinely cares about the well-being of animals in his care.

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.
