Dog owner for 10+ years!

Pet care experience

I've always been a dog person and would get dog sitting jobs as a child. Recently moved away from my family (including my wonderful pup). She unfortunately was too big for my apartment and is much happier in my home town! However, I miss her very much and would love to treat your pup like my own :)

Sam is a responsible and loving dog caregiver. She has a big heart and loves to take care of animals. She is dependable and reliable.

Sam took the time to understand the dynamic we had in place for our furry friends and showed the utmost respect towards them and our rules. They were so happy for us to return but it was obvious they had built a relationship with Sam very quickly as well. Definitely recommend, and definitely will seek out again!

I’m writing in strong support of Samantha W’s candidacy for Rover. I have known Samantha for over 5 years and have interacted with her through many residential life outings at university. I have observed Sam’s growth as a leader and as a caregiver for over 450 residents. She is extremely responsible. Sam has taken care of my dog since she was a puppy, able to watch her on short notice. Sam is capable of caring for dogs of wide age ranges. She is able to adapt in lightning-fast ways, organized, and dedicated. She is consistently positive, optimistic, and attentive to detail. I urge you to trust Sam with your dog baby, as I would even trust Sam with your real baby. Her love for dogs is UNMATCHED!

Sam watched my three dogs for a weekend where my family went away. I had Sam meet my dogs beforehand, go over everything with her, and ensure that she got along well with them. The dogs immediately fell in love with her (and her scratches)! Sam provided my family with updates daily regarding the dogs, she was extremely responsive throughout the time she watched them, and she got along swimmingly with them all! Sam is an extremely compassionate, genuine, and responsible woman, she was incredible with my dogs, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again.

Information Sam W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, diet restrictions, or important medical history for the safety of your pup! I don't personally have any breed restrictions, but I do live in an apartment so that is definitely something to consider on both of our ends. I would love to know your dogs activity levels and experience with other dogs (we don't want any issues at the park!).

A typical day

I'd love to play with your dog and get them tired out before coming home to you! There is a large park near by that any pup would love and plenty of paved/safe sidewalks for long walks.
