Furry friend lover for all

I’ve had an animal whether it be dog or cat my whole life and have a love for animals! I am servicing the Fort Wayne area up to 15-20 miles from the downtown area. I had been doing Rover while living in Connecticut from early 2021-2023 and then in Delaware from 2023-2025. After traveling for awhile, I would love to continue providing excellent service on Rover here in hometown! Prior to using the Rover platform I would pet sit for family and friends! I would be honored to take care of your furry friends like I would my own. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions about me!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I unfortunately do not have the capability to care for pets in my home (boarding) but am more than willing to come to your home (house sitting) and treat it like my own! I would follow your pet’s schedule and prioritize over mine as best permitting! I’m cleanly, caring, and thoughtful! I will even grab mail, packages, and other household chores to ensure your home was the same as you left it!

Great communication, tons of photos, followed all our “rules” for the animals. 10/10 especially for our first experience with Rover.

I would give Samantha a 10 if I could. She went above and beyond for us. I found Samantha after my previous sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. Samantha was very friendly and organized. My 2 dogs loved her right away. I was so happy that the pure excitement of my pittie did not overwhelm her. I could tell she had had experience with rambunctious dogs and handled it without problem. She asked questions that showed it was important to her to do the kind of job I wanted. I appreciated that. I also got to learn a little about her and her experience with pet/house sitting and felt very comfortable that my doggies would be very well taken care of care of. She kept me updated with pictures of them and their daily activities which included our pitty finding baby possums. When she texted me, I sent my daughter over so Samantha wouldn’t have to take care of it. But my daughter texted me back and told me Samantha had it all handled by the time she got there. Samantha also handled bad weather with the pups and informed me of tree damage from falling tree branches. She can handle it all. I came home to a very clean and organized home. I think the pups were glad to see us home but couldn’t really tell if they missed us or not. To me, that’s a good sign of a great sitter. I would highly recommend Samantha and will have her back every opportunity I can.

Information that would be important to know about your furry friends are things that agitate your pet and things that your pet enjoys the most so I can make sure your pet(s) stays happy and healthy while you’re away
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.
