Pet care experience

There’s no love like a dog’s love

I’ve had such a strong love for dogs ever since I can remember, but from what I’ve been told it’s been since I was a baby with our very first family dog. I’ve had dogs ever since, and have taken care of them, as well as many other friends, family, and neighbors’ dogs. I just recently learned about Rover and was immediately drawn and motivated to join. I want to help put people’s minds at ease knowing their fur babies are not just well taken care of, but shown unconditional love. With my partner as well as soon to be 11 year old golden retriever, I just moved to Texas two months ago from the suburbs of Chicago, and I’m so excited to start this journey here! Looking forward to meeting you and your loved ones!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a full fenced yard that I take care of my dog in as well as visiting dogs. Lots of grass area and a fun time for him to run around freely.

Samantha was amazing! My pup Mystic is extremely happy in the photos she sent over. She responds in a timely manner. Showed up right on time and made sure Mystic had a full bowl of freshwater and a nice treat before she left. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be booking with Samantha again!

Samantha has been my lifesaver! I’ve recently adopted a 10 month old pup Charlie. During the week I’m needing help with Charlie and I am so lucky to have found Samantha! She is so sweet and patient with him and up for the daily challenges that come along with a 10 month old pup. Samantha communicates throughout the day, sends me photos & updates. She really is amazing!

Sammi is an amazing animal caretaker. She has the best heart and is so attentive to the animals. Whether you have a spry young pup or an older dog that needs some love and attention, she is covered. I've seen her with both and it's so genuine. My dog is a 100+ lb German Shephard who needs LOTS of love and affection. Sammi fits the bill every time.
