Safety, trust & environment

I don't have space for dogs or cats in my current home, as I'm living with my wife in someone else's area that does not allow pets. But, I'm happy to help take care of your animal in your home by maintaining a safe and clean environment for them, and making sure they are well-fed and exercised.

Information Sam S. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know their name, size/breed, and any important details about their behavior. If there's anything that might set them off I'd love to know in advance.

A typical day

I love going to the park and on hiking trails with dogs. Or if you don't live near green space we will explore the streets together!

On-time, efficient cat and dog care

Pet care experience

Before I walk your dog or hang with your cat, there are three things you should know about me. I love being outside, being with animals, and making and performing music. It's incredibly rewarding to me to care for animals. I believe me and your dog or cat share the same curiosity for adventure and I can't wait to get to know them. There's also a good chance that I end up singing some of my music to them. I grew up with pets and have experience in dog and cat sitting for neighbors and friends. When it comes to your pets, my first priority is their safety. I am extremely timely, and adaptable to all sorts of dogs and cats. Consider letting me care for, explore with, and sing to your animals!

Sam did a great job taking care of Niko on his morning walk while I was out of town. He was reliable, on time, and kept me updated with pictures and texts, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely book with him again.

This was our first experience with having a house sitter, but after meeting Sam prior to our trip, I felt that we were in very good hands. Sam took wonderful care of our dog, Olive, for the week and a half that we were away. He took her on many walks, provided enrichment, and gave us frequent updates with photos, which we so greatly appreciated. Additionally, we returned to a clean home with Sam having left us a nice note and some Halloween candy! We would highly recommend Sam and would happily book him again.

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.
