I’m a teacher who works from 8-4 Monday through Friday, but I’m on a school calendar and have most holidays and summer off. I spend a lot of time at home when I'm not at work - perfect for taking care of your fur baby!

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet

Tell me about your pet! It’s helpful to know their general demeanor and if there’s anything I can do to ease any anxieties you might have. I love them all - loud barkers, jumpers, pets who are slow to trust, etc! For longer stays, let me know what your pet’s usual routine is and care instructions like food and outdoor time. I want to make your time away as easy as possible for your fur baby!

A typical day

I love to make sure your pet gets what they need! I’m happy to include lots of play time, exercise or cuddles - whatever your pet prefers :)

Pet care experience

I had cats ever since I was a kid, and now have a cat and a dog of my own. I’ve helped our family and neighbors over the years with cat and dog sitting. I also volunteered at an animal shelter throughout college, so I have lots of experience with different types of pets! I’ve been doing jobs on Rover since 2022 and absolutely love it 😊

Samantha is the best cat sitter!! Our cat loves her so much and I can tell how happy he is in every picture she sends. She’s a great communicator and takes wonderful care of our kitty and house. We couldn’t be happier with how she looks after him, gives him affection, and tons of playtime.

Samantha was so great with our kitten when we had to go out of town for the first time without him. He was happy as can be when we came home, she so clearly took good care of him, played with him, snuggled him, kept me fed and cozy and cute, and kept us apprised too with messages and pictures. Would definitely recommend Samantha, and we hope to use her as a cat sitter the next time!
