Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in a client’s home, I always abide by their rules of where pets can and cannot be whether that is out of a certain room, not allowed on the couch, etc. I leash dogs before any doors are open (and if necessary move cats to a separate space) so they don’t flee. When on walks I always pay attention to surrounding people and animals, just in case!

Information Samantha A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your fur child has special needs or if there is anything imperative I should be aware of (aggression, medications, anxiety, etc)

A typical day

I love long walks/runs and making sure your pup gets all of its energy out! Walking through the various parks in the city is one of my favorite things to do. When at home, giving them all the cuddles and playing with their favorite toys is a huge must!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a family who always had cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I’ve watched neighbor’s pets since I was 10, and walked dogs throughout high school and college. I’ve cared for senior pets and puppies, and have had to give pets specific medications as well.

Samantha was great! She understood our dogs and their quirks, was attentive, and gave them lots of attention. She was quick to respond to us and send us regular updates. Our apartment was left clean!

Sam is a wonderfully attentive catsitter! She sends regular updates that are personalized as well as daily photos! She is personable and professional and is happy to go above and beyond! She and my cat Ponyboy got along so well! Can’t wait to hire her again!

Samantha was wonderful with our cat & dog. She came for a meet and greet before the trip, and sent regular updates and photos while we were away. She was a huge help, and we’ll be hiring her again!

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.
