Safety, trust & environment

I always like to get a detailed account of the owner's daily routine with the pet, as well as any medical or physical concerns I should be looking out for. If the client approves, I like to err on the side of reaching out if I have questions or concerns, rather than waiting until they get back. Additionally, having emergency veterinary information is a must, as I am willing to do what is necessary to keep your pet safe.

Information Sam W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to be informed if your dog has special needs, medical concerns, or any other issues that may influence my care of them. I also like to get a sense of their general daily routine so that I can stay as close to that as possible!

A typical day

I'm happy to play with your pets however they prefer! I enjoy playing fetch, running around the yard, going for walks in nearby parks or neighborhoods, or playing hide and go seek or chasing them/them chasing me if they enjoy it!

Pet care experience

Starting in July, I am available all day! I've always grown up with animals. I was born into a family with two older dogs, and grew up with 2 family dogs, Maggie & Henry, whom I loved and adored as family. When I moved to graduate school, I adopted two cats, Plum & May. I didn't grow up with cats, but during college up to now I spend time at local animal shelters volunteering and helping to socialize cats where I have time. Currently, I spend my free time trapping, spaying/neutering, and releasing feral cats in my neighborhood to give them better, safer lives. I work an 8-5pm job M-F currently in Cleveland.

Sam is such an amazing sitter!! I had her watch my cat for a second time. She is so good with my cat, and respects her boundaries while caring for her. She always sends multiple pictures and great updates when she does a drop in. She is also very responsive to messages and requests. If you’re looking for a sitter I definitely recommend reaching out to her!!

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.
