Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I build my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible and get consistent attention throughout the day. Living near a lake and a grass area in my apartment complex also makes it easy to provide regular exercise and outdoor time.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe apartment environment with plenty of attention and structure. I live right next to a lake and have access to a grass field within my apartment complex, which is great for regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I make sure pets get consistent routines, playtime, and rest based on their needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or slower-paced senior pets. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know about any allergies, medical conditions, medications, behavior around other dogs or people, feeding schedule, and their normal routine. I also like to know what they enjoy or dislike so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible while in my care.

A typical day

This depends on each pet’s age, energy level, and any special needs. I focus on walks/runs, hikes or trails if desired, playtime, and simple enrichment activities to keep them happy and comfortable. For puppies and seniors, I adjust the pace to match their needs and always stick closely to their normal routine.

Amazing dog walker! Asked so many questions about how to best care for Maggie and clearly enjoyed spending time with her. Definitely booking again.

Samantha watched our Lab Shepherd mix, and our dog was in absolute heaven! She has a lot of anxiety, but Samantha did an amazing job following her routine and making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated and gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!

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.
