Pet care experience

Dedicating my life to animals

I have worked professionally for over 10 years in the animal industry, focusing on animal care and training. I was a dog trainer instructor for 5 years, and have worked with over 50 breeds of dogs of varying ages and obedience levels. I have also worked as a zookeeper for 5 years, and provided a high level of accredited care to all types of animals. Unfortunately my health has taken a turn for the worse this past year, and I can no longer sustain a healthy work life balance at the place I work at. I am very saddened by it, but I hope you will allow me to provide the quality and level of care I aspire to on a smaller and more personalized level.

House Sitting • Aug 10, 2026

Sam was a great house sitter and dog caregiver! We needed someone we could trust to watch our two dogs in our home for the weekend, so we had Sam over for a meet-and-greet. She won us and our dogs over, so we hired her on the spot. She took good care of our dogs and our house, was very quick with communication, and sent us pictures of the dogs while we were gone. Would definitely have her over again!

Samantha was awesome. Giving us a daily picture and update on Maggie. This was Maggie first time with an unrelated sitter. So Samantha did have a challenge but she handle it well. We thank her for the excellent care.

Sam went above and beyond taking care of our pets! She was extremely responsive and helpful taking care of our dog recovering from unexpected surgery.

Let me know what level of obedience is acceptable for you and your companion. I encourage people to listen to their animal’s needs, what might be acceptable for one may not be achievable by another and I will make accommodations as necessary. Each animal is an individual, and it is important to taylor expectations accordingly.
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.
