Volunteer and lover of all animals

Pet care experience

I pride myself on being a dependable caretaker, offering flexible scheduling to accommodate you and your pet's unique needs. Not only do I ensure your pet's happiness, but I also maintain a clean home environment. I am comfortable with homes equipped with security systems, I prioritize transparency and appreciate advance notice. My commitment extends beyond basic care—I bring invaluable experience from volunteering at the Evanston Animal Shelter, where I provide rehabilitation and foster care for abandoned and abused animals. With a history of fostering numerous pets with special needs and medical conditions, I'm adept at handling diverse challenges. At the shelter, I regularly engage with dogs of all temperaments and sizes, including those with complex behavioral needs. Rain or shine, I dedicate my weekends to walking and caring for dogs requiring specialized attention, ensuring their well-being in any condition.

This was our first time using Rover. We needed a last minute pet sitter for the weekend for our dog and cat. Samantha stayed at our home, which made our pets feel more comfortable. She sent updates and photos through the weekend. We'd definitely use Samantha again!

Samantha did a wonderful job caring for our dog and our home while we were out of town. We had a lot of peace of mind knowing our dog (who has some reactivity) was in good hands! She has good experience working with dogs who may have some special needs. Samantha was responsible, communicative, and organized. Every step of the process went smoothly and our house looked great when we came home!

Samantha was amazing! She gave me detailed notes about how my dog was! I will definitely be using her again :)
