Best friend for your best friend

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner and off/on pet-sitter for over 30 years. There is not a time in my life I can remember not being surrounded by animals. I rescued my two dogs as puppies ten years ago, so I understand the strong unconditional love between pets and their people. I’m the girl who wants to make friends with every animal.. Animals over people! 😊 I look forward to learning more about your pets, taking them on walks, and providing them with the best care!

I had to leave town abruptly for a family emergency, and had never used Rover before, so I was doubly anxious. As soon as I met Samantha, I felt more at ease. I could tell she cares about what she does. After each visit, she posted photos and an update, and was very responsive to text messages. And the most important part; I could tell Tiger was happy and comfortable while I was away! 5 stars!

Samantha was so incredibly sweet and patient with my slow burner kitty! She communicated really well and gave me thorough updates on Polly while we were gone for the holidays!! Would highly recommend her!!

Samantha is the BEST!! We’ve used rover a lot over the years, but Samantha easily gives the most detailed and comprehensive updates of any sitter we’ve had! She dropped in on our two kitties twice a day, played with them, managed their complicated meals and meds, and even had the patience and understanding to work with our more cranky kitty. We love Samantha!

Samantha was great! Very kind and communicative. She was super helpful and we felt super comfortable with her caring for our old lady.
