I am a healthcare professional who loves pets and who would love to have a companion with me during my time off! I really enjoy taking breaks to go on walks around the neighborhood. Since I cannot have full responsibility of a pet, Rover is my way to enjoy spending quality time with pets.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of multiple dogs (my own and other pets, including cats and birds) throughout my life and I enjoy being around pets. I signed up for rover because I miss having a pet of my own to care for and to take to the park. I have 15+ years of experience. I’ve taken care of small to large (chihuahua to Great Dane) dogs. I am careful to follow directions and pay attention to the pet’s health. I am a distance runner and would be happy to take pets on long walks or runs around golden gate park. I am happy to take care of cats as well. I am available evenings only during the week, and am most flexible over the weekend.

Samantha was wonderful with my two cats while I was on vacation. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She made sure they were fed, comfortable, and well looked after, and I came home to happy cats. I’d absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful cat sitter.

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.
