Pet care experience

Undivided attention for your dog

Hi, my name is Sam! I am looking for extra income on the weekends while getting to do what I love - spending time with dogs! Dependability is extremely important to me. I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel to your home. I also have a recent background check I can provide upon request. I have always had dogs in my home growing up. I have watched dogs for many of my family members and neighbors. I have experience dog walking, providing medication, bathing dogs, and was even responsible to overlook a dog giving birth. I can help with potty-training and basic training needs. I love playing with dogs and giving them lots of attention.

Sam! Where do I begin? I don’t have anyone i can trust with my dogs.. and I work a lot. My fiancé was out of town this weekend and i was working 12 hour shifts. Sam made my weekend stress free by sending me sweet photos of my pups, updating me on their day, and being extremely communicative without my having to ask! I will definitely be booking her again soon for Luna Duke and Dozer ?

Can't say enough about how pleased we are with Sam and how well she took care of our dogs. We are especially impressed because our Rosie can be very scared of people. Sam took her time and earned Rosie's trust. We are immensely impressed and overwhelmingly satisfied with the great job Sam did. We will use her again and highly recommend you book her. Thanks again Sam!

Sam was great! My dogs were very comfortable with her right from the start . Even my heeler Bella, who is by nature tentative, took to her right away and seemed to enjoy their walk. Thanks Sam! We will definitely be using your services again in the future.

My wife and I were delighted with Sam. She was very attentive during our discussions and quickly established a wonderful rapport with our boy Oggie. We plan to call her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs a responsible and loving dog sitter.

You can tell Sam is a true animal lover. She takes time to get to know your animals and is very responsible. She is responsive to special requests and simply amazing. Will definitely enlist her help again.

Sam is an amazing individual. She is one of the highest levels of dog person I've ever know. She simply LOVES dogs and will give your dog all of the attention, exercise, and simple loving as it can take, and I guarantee your dog will love her.

Before caring for your dog, I would love to learn about any medical needs your dog has, eating behaviors, toy preferences, temperament, or other important information.
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.
