Pet care experience

Your Pups Favorite Auntie

Hi, I’m Sam! I live in NE Columbia near Sandhills, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from tiny puppies to giant seniors. I’m also the South Carolina Manager for Daisy Bean Rescue, where I’ve helped countless dogs find their forever homes. That means your pup will always be in the hands of someone who knows how to keep them safe, happy, and loved.

Samantha was great! Our dogs just needed a mid day potty break and they definitely enjoyed her company. I highly recommend booking with her!

Very good experience! We had to book last minute and our normal sitter wasn’t available. Apparently not all heroes wear capes because Samantha saved the day! She sent pictures of our girls through out their stay and was very communicative! Over all great experience!

My dog was so happy staying with Samantha during my business trip. From the photos and updates, it seemed like he really enjoyed his time there and felt comfortable and loved. I’m very grateful for her care and would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Samantha is fantastic! We last minute needed care for our 1 year old dog and she was super quick with communication and was amazing while watching him. We got photos and updates throughout the day and she even sent him home with a cute holiday bandana which was amazing!! Would highly recommend her for anyone needing dog care in the area.

Schedule

I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible and your dog would almost never be unattended. I can take frequent breaks to make sure your dog is well looked after and not alone.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Samantha can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It’s important to know what makes your dog comfortable and uncomfortable. Also, allergies are very important to know. I need to know what will make your dog the happiest and most calm while you are away.
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.
