Safety, trust & environment

I can’t offer my home for services, but when it comes to dog or cat sitting at your place, I’m flexible! Whatever you are most comfortable with while you’re away. I can snuggle with your pet throughout the night, place them in their safe and clean crate, or keep an eye on them if they sleep in your backyard. When it comes to walks, I prefer quiet neighborhoods or nature walks away from cars.

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

I always request to know if they have any dietary restrictions, special needs or triggers. For example, if they see another dog on a walk, are they going to sprint toward it to attack? Do they have a sensitive stomach, and can only handle food during certain hours? Are they okay being picked up for cuddles or do they prefer staying on the ground? This ensures a safe and successful visit for both me and your furry baby every time!

A typical day

I love matching the dogs energy! If they have a lot of energy, and are dog-friendly, I like going to the dog park. When I walk dogs, I like to let them take their time sniffing around, if they like to pull, I’ll go into a jog with them. I love cuddles and slobbery kisses! When you book me, you’re guaranteed to come home to the happiest furry baby!

With me you’ll have peace of mind ♥

Pet care experience

When I dog or cat sit, I make each animal a top priority! I give each one the love and attention they need. I never mind a slobbery kiss or a jumping rascal! And I LOVE to go on adventures with my client’s dogs. This has ranged from dog parks, car rides, hiking, and even the occasional pup cup at Starbucks! Growing up with dogs, I know the hesitation one might have with leaving a pet with a stranger, that’s why I like to send my clients pictures and videos of their pets throughout my stay. With me, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your little baby at home is being taken care of every day. Ready to book a service with me? Let’s get started!

Samantha was absolutely fantastic. Our first time using rover and Samantha made the process so easy and took our worries away. Our dog can be very shy and Samantha took the time to get to know him and create a bond. I couldn’t recommend her more. We will definitely be booking again :))

Samantha did an amazing job with our dog who has a few quirks, she loved on him so well and went the extra mile to make sure he was taken care of while we were gone. She was extremely reliable and communicative and I would use her again on any occasion. Thank you so much Samantha!
