Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Snuggled & Well-Cared For
I’ve had many years of experience with pets, but I am just now signing up with Rover. I’ve raised and trained five puppies into well-mannered adult dogs, so I understand every stage — from potty training and leash manners to basic obedience and socialization. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, consistency, and positive training while you’re away. I’ve also cared for multiple families with both dogs and cats, including multi-pet households. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and feeding schedules is something I’m very comfortable with. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I pay attention to their behavior, stress levels, and needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structure and play or a calmer pet who prefers routine and quiet companionship, I adapt to each animal to make them feel safe and cared for.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible for the pet, maintaining feeding times, walks, litter box or yard care, medications if needed, and daily interaction. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. ***Rover takes a percentage of each visit, so please understand this when viewing the fees. Fees are also negotiable or may flex depending on the circumstance or distance" *****I require a meet and greet with dogs before doing a drop in visit or walk.
Ratings and reviews
Samantha and her son took wonderful care of my dogs while I was out of town. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. They gave my dogs plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, which made all the difference, my pups were clearly happy and well cared for. Samantha was also excellent with communication, responding quickly to my questions and staying consistent with her home visits. I truly appreciate the care, reliability, and kindness she showed. I will absolutely be rebooking with her, she’s earned my trust and loyalty for the amazing care she gave my dog children
We love Samantha and so do our pups!!! Would highly recommend to anyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Samantha has been pet sitting our 2 dogs for us for quite some time now and our dogs really love her. She’s very mindful of all instructions, including meds, and reaches out if there are any concerns or has questions. When we get home our dogs look well taken care of-it’s as if we never left! It’s been such a blessing to leave on trips with ease and comfort knowing our dogs are going to be well taken care of. She’s just a wonderful human who cares a lot about people and animals, and she does things with heart! If you are looking for a pet sitter who you can rely on for great care for your fur babies, Samantha’s your pet sitter! 🐶🐶
Samantha has been an incredible blessing to our family! She’s prompt, responsive, very communicative and our two pups just adore her ❤️ Whether we’re headed out of town or for one night or five, she’s always our first call - we appreciate her so much!

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m available most days and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care.
