Experienced Vet Tech!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a veterinarian technician mother surrounded by cats, dogs, and even ferrets! I have worked as a technician and receptionist at animal hospitals since I was a teenager. I work hands-on with animals of various sizes and temperments. I can provide loving care as well as attend to the requirements of pets with special needs such as daily medications, sub-q fluids, insulin, and more. While Rover is geared toward dogs, I would love to cat-sit if anyone needs it. You can trust your pet will be in responsible hands of someone with a genuine passion for animals. I like to set up meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure I’m a good fit for your pet’s needs. I look forward to working with you and your fur baby!

Sam is our exclusive dog/house sitter. She plays an important role for our dog Penelope. Not only is she a caring and responsible caregiver but also responds to messages and requests with urgency and is always willing to work with your schedule. We always know that Penelope is in good hands! I highly recommend and will continue to work with Sam.

Sam is the best! She's always my first choice whenever I go out of town. This time I had to take a super last minute trip. She responded right away and came over. I was so glad she was available! She takes great care of my dog. It's so nice to know you can rely on someone and not worry about your dog while you're away. Thanks Sam!!

Thank you, Sam, for taking care of my dogs once again. Dogs were happy and apartment was clean when I arrived home. Always a pleasure having Sam!

Information Sam V. would like to know about your pet

Fears of loud noises, construction, traffic, other dogs, children? Responsive to basic training commands? Preference between in-building dog runs and leashed walks? Medical needs, medications, or food allergies? Picky eater?

A typical day

I would like to know what your pet's normal routine is, especially for overnight stays. Being away from their owner can be stressful, which means it's important to me that they aren't distressed by too much change during that time. I will keep up with their every day schedule and that includes where they like to go for walks and playtime.
