I’ll Love Your Pet Like My Own

With a fenced in yard and pet sitting being my full time job, your pet will have my undivided attention while they stay in my home. I currently foster for the SPCA, and am skilled in special diets, administering medicine, and elderly/puppy care. I have extensive experience in managing health and behavioral concerns, and will keep you informed with several pictures and updates throughout the day so you can be at ease they are having a comfortable stay at my home. I understand life can be unpredictable, so I am flexible with early drop offs or late pick ups in order to work with your schedule!

First time using Rover and first time leaving my pup with someone that wasn't an immediate family member or long time friend. To say I was uneasy would be an understatement. Samantha was great though. She definitely put my mind at ease and was good about sending pictures and updates as frequently as I needed them. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again!

Luther is such a good boy. I can always see that he has had a good time at Samantha’s. He loves all the attention and playtime with his friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, and live in a low traffic neighborhood where frequent dog walks can happen safely. My home has two floors, so animals can be separated on request. My pets are allowed on the furniture, and yours are too! I have plenty of dog and cat toys, a cat tree, and crates if requested. My dog loves the company of other dogs, and ignores the cats completely. Cats are separated on the other end of the house, so the dogs are unable to access their food or litter boxes.

Pets

A typical day

I have fun walking in our neighborhood with low traffic and several dead end streets, giving us time to sniff around and enjoy our surroundings without feeling rushed or in harms way. Sadie also enjoys the trails around the Roanoke Star, meeting her socializing and energy needs.

Please let me know if your dog has any behavior triggers or if there is anything I can provide to help them feel more comfortable or at home. I am comfortable administering any type of medication, and will accommodate any special feeding needs as well.
