Pet care experience
I have been caring for my own cats and dogs for 11 years, and have had dogs be a part of my family for most of my life. I began pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors about 13 years ago, and have been working through Rover since December 2019. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am first aid and CPR certified through Pro Pet Hero. I have given oral medication to both dogs and cats, but I do not yet have experience with injected medications. I am insured through Pet Care Insurance.
Reviews
Took great care of our cat!
Samantha is the best. She walks my dog daily when I’m at work, and recently cat sit for me when I was out of town. All of my animals love her, even my SUPER shy cat, and she is reliable and responsive always. She also always sends very cute pics of my animals :)
Samantha provides consistent and reliable care for my golden retriever. Thank you!
Samantha’s service is excellent! Our dog immediately loved her! She always makes sure to take special care to ensure all of our dog’s needs are met. She updates us continually throughout her service so we rest assured knowing our dog is well taken care of. Cannot recommend Samantha enough!!!

A 30 minute walk will be about 25 minutes of walking time, and a 60 minute walk will be about 55 minutes. With the remaining time, I will give your pet/s fresh water and all the attention they want after taking off leashes and harnesses and putting them away. For 30 and 60 minute drop-in visits, I can do whatever is needed - feeding, medication, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, etc. Policies (in addition to Rover policies): - I do not use retractable leashes due to personal preference. If that is all you have, I will use my own leashes. - If it is raining or there is snow out, I am still happy to walk your dog! I keep plenty of towels in my car at all times, and pet wipes as well. If your dog does not like to get wet, I will take them for a shorter walk or bathroom break in your yard if you have one. I will spend the remaining time playing with them or doing other enrichment activities. - I require all clients to fill out a vet release form. This will allow me to take your pet/s to the vet in the event of an emergency. - I need at least one *local* emergency contact. - For house sitting, all exterior locks need to be fully functional.
Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pets, I need to know about any history of aggression towards people/dogs/cats/other animals. This is not for judgement or exclusion, but for safety. I also would like to know ahead of time if your pet needs any medication, and how they react when you give it to them. I have absolutely no breed preferences. Before caring for any pets, I require a meet and greet, which are usually about 30 minutes long but range from 15 minutes to an hour. Please have keys ready at the meet and greet if I will need them to access your home.

Availability
Dog walking and pet sitting is my full-time job. I prefer to book in 2-4 hour windows whenever possible. If you need a more precise time for something like medication, or an anxious dog that needs a strict schedule, I will do my absolute best to accommodate that.
