An animal’s schedule is one of the most important consistencies a pet can have. Whether this includes walks, play time, or naps, I’m happy to abide and conform to their routines in order to keep them on track as best as possible while owners are away.

One of my favorite rover bookings so far! She truly did such a great job taking care of my cat throughout the week. She always addressed my concerns and sent great updates!

Sam took wonderful care of our two kitties while we were gone for two weeks. She is very kind to our cats making sure they’re fed, given lots of attention, and provides much appreciated photo updates! She even helped with some mail and changing the litter box and keeping up with vacuuming the litter. We are repeat customers of Sam I would highly recommend and trust her to care for your pets!

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.
