I'm open to caring for all breeds, age, etc. It is important however that I know the dogs temperament before booking any stays/visits, so we can be sure it's a good match.

I am able to take short breaks from work throughout the day to go outside for bathroom breaks and take small walks around the neighborhood.

Samantha took great care of our golden retriever while we were on vacation. She sent photos throughout the time she had him and communicated with me frequently. I would highly recommend Samantha.

Samantha is an amazing dog sitter! She was easy to reach and very accommodating regarding a pick up time. My heeler, Tilly, had an awesome time! I received lots of feedback and pictures, and I really appreciated knowing my girl had lots of play time and walks! Highly recommend!!

Samantha was great and we'd highly recommend! She was proactive with pictures and updates, and our dog was well taken care of. She came back in a happy mood, which is exactly what you'd hope for.

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.
