I currently am a stay at home mom of one. I have the ability yo keep your pups schedule on track while they are in my care. I only work one a day week away from home ( I come home in my lunch break) and do property management from home on the side. My sister watches my son on the one day that I do go to work, so if your pet stays with me I would always be around or my sister would be at my home to let your pet outside, walk them, and care for their needs. :) I do not normally host more than one families pet/s at once but if I was going to, I would let both owners know before doing so and only with dogs that I had watched before and know that there would not be any issues.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer pet/house sitting, I need to be able to bring my son with me & if possible I like to bring my shih tzu Cheech with me to boarding jobs. (But I do understand sometimes that isn’t an option. I don’t want any dog or cat feeling like their home is being invaded.) I have a small yard at my home to take dogs out but there isnt much running space if your dog is high energy. Luckily I do have a bike path right near by we can walk to for walks! If I have multiple dogs staying with me I do have the ability to separate them if necessary during eating, sleeping, or when I do run errands.

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there is any "secret" tricks to helping your pup/ animals feel more comfortable around me as a new caretaker. As well as their daily routine! Feel free to please bring whatever will make your dog more comfortable while staying with me, their food/water bowls, leash/harness they prefer, their bed & blanket, and favorite toy! I'll do the very best I can to make sure your fur-baby is as comfortable as he or she can be while in my care! Thank you for trusting me!

A typical day

If your doggo likes to go on walks we will do that in our neighborhood and/or on our bike path right by our house. I will never turn away snuggles and teaching tricks to doggos! I am very passionate about my work and gaining diverse experience with dogs.

Pet care experience

Hello Pet Parents! My name’s Samantha, currently I am a single mom to an 19 month old boy and also a dog-mama to my Shih tzu named Cheech! I have had dogs my entire life and have been doing Rover for many years now. I take pride in my work and take it seriously, if I was going to have someone watch Cheech I would want to know they are trustworthy, diligent, understanding, and patient. So that is how I am with the pets in my care. I'll do anything to make a pups tail wag!! 🐾💝

Samantha was wonderful baby sitting my two pugs for a week on short notice. She sent daily photos and I could tell they enjoyed their stay.
