Dogs, cats, & exotic pets!

Pet care experience

EXOTICS experience! I am able to pet sit any exotic pets you may have including birds, reptiles, inverts, rodents, and pretty much any other species. I have mothered four cats and 2 precious Shih Tzus in my life, all of which I have personally trained. I volunteer for an organization that spays and vaccinates stray kitties while rescuing and fostering the kittens for adoption. I currently have two precious rescue kitties, and plan on getting an adventure dog when financially ready! Until then, I'd love to walk, care, and hang out with your dogs! I am also open to providing care for any pets- including reptiles, rodents, birds, fish, etc. I have experience with all of them and I love all living creatures. I have a calm nature and am able to connect with any animals very well. I discovered Rover by using the service myself, and had such a great experience. I can't wait to be able to give other folks the same great experience, as I know how stressful it is worrying about your babies when you're trying to enjoy a trip!

Samantha has been a wonderful pet sitter for our two cats Atticus and Wednesday! She was very caring and attentive to them. She went above and beyond spending extra time cuddling with them and keeping me update with how they were doing. 10/10 would recommend!

Samantha is my daughter and at around the age of 10 she wanted some dogs for her and her brother. Within a few years I did get Lola and Gizmo. She was very good with them. Lots of play, regular walks, snuggling and feeding them. As an adult she has adopted several stray cats and made a very nice home for them. She is highly intelligent and always became a favorite employee with her supervisor at other jobs due to her work ethic and sense of responsibility.

I meet Samantha In 2005. She is an impressive young lady. At the time of our meeting, she had two dogs which she cared for well. With Samantha in the house, the dogs were happy and healthy. She never lost her temper with them. She is intelligent, conscious, loyal and a forward thinker anticipating problems. She is the best Mom to her two cats, which she rescued. I truly believe she would be an asset to any company she works for.

Samantha is a caring, loving human being who cares deeply for dogs and all animals. She is very conscientious to ensure whatever the schedule and needs a pet has, it will be done efficiently and happily. Your dog will love her!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding and day care, I have a large fenced backyard that feels abandoned and needs some doggies giving it the use it deserves! I work from home, so my schedule is 100% flexible and I would love some fluffy buddies to keep me company. I can take your doggie out on their terms! My partner is also home about half of the day so there will be no lack of attention for your fur baby. I will be able to keep up with the most energetic of dogs. Your pup will always be in the same room as me and of course never outside unsupervised. I'm a paranoid fur baby mom so safety is my number one concern. Your pet will never have access to any food except what you provide or approve. I also have experience giving regular medications to both dogs and cats, and would be happy to administer any meds on the necessary schedule. I am open to hosting a few dogs at once, so your pup may be able to make friends as well. Of course, we can arrange meet & greets to ensure everyone gets along before booking! For dog walks, I have handled and walked dogs that weigh more than I do. I'm very active and while calm in nature, I can give verbal commands to make sure your dog doesn't do or eat anything they are not supposed to! I am flexible and can follow any route and/or special requests you have. And I always pick up the poop, of course. For house visits, I am extremely respectful of others' privacy and space. I am flexible and can meet your requirements of a perfect home visit for your furbabies while you are away. I will take plenty of photos for you each visit. I can feed, water, let out, play with, scoop litter, and any other animal care that you need! I can even water your plant babies too.

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I just need to know any important habits, preferences, and/or fears your dog might have. I want to make sure they're as comfortable as possible!

A typical day

We will go on plenty of walks around my neighborhood and to the nearby nature parks to explore. I have a large backyard with tons of room to play fetch and just run around until we're tired!
