Pet care experience

Behavior-Focused Care | CPR Cert.

Hi, I’m Samantha! I’ve been caring for dogs and pets since I was a kid, starting with neighborhood pet sitting at 13. Over the last 15+ years, I’ve turned that passion into professional expertise: from working at PetSmart, to managing safety and behavior at top doggy daycares, and serving as a lead trainer handling everything from puppies to reactive dogs. Today, I’m a hybrid worker with weekend availability to care for your pets in your home. I’m pet CPR certified, experienced with all breeds and sizes, and believe in balanced training paired with tons of enrichment (think puzzles, toys, and plenty of snuggles). My goal is to keep your pets happy and on their normal routine so you can travel worry-free.

Safety, trust & environment

In Your Home: I try to meet every client before a stay begins. This lets me and your pup(s) get to know each other in a relaxed way with you there to walk through routines, special instructions, and any behavioral needs. Important: I never take dogs to public dog parks or off-leash spaces. Your pet’s health and safety are always my priority. If you ever have questions or concerns, I’m happy to chat before you book.

Lincoln had a fantastic time with Sam. We got daily updates and pictures and upon our return home he was happy and cheerful.

This was our second time having Sam stay with our dog and she was just as great the second time! I can't recommend her enough. Great communication and so much love for our little guy! Thanks again Sam!

I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Before any booking, I just like to know how your dog is with other dogs, and if there are any behavioral quirks or concerns. This helps me keep every pet as safe, happy, and comfortable as possible.
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.
