Cats

Availability

I work a busy, demanding job that provides substantial flexibility, meaning I can work around many schedules and enjoy decompressing by spending time with animals. My commute from Jones County into New Bern means that I have a wide radius of locations I’m able to service.

Safety, trust & environment

I can accommodate whatever your needs/preferences are. I have experience with dogs who are reactive and know how to handle them on walks/during drop-in visits. While I appreciate detailed care instructions, I’m confident in my ability to provide excellent care with or without them, and pride myself on my ability to problem solve, while maintaining open communication at all times.

Information Samantha H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what special needs, preferences, or triggers your pet may have. I’m used to reactive dogs, but I can prepare better for a dog if I know ahead of time what to look for. Additionally, any routine or rituals they’re used to are great for me to replicate in order to ensure they adjust while under the care of a sitter.

A typical day

I’m huge on physical AND mental stimulation for dogs! I’m happy to take your dog for a full thirty minute fast-paced walk, play with their toys, or just chill while they eat and sleep. It’s really up to the dog and what they enjoy and are used to!

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have been caring for animals all my life! I have two dogs, a rescue I’ve had for 12 years and a newly-adopted rescue after a six-month foster, as well as two cats.

Samantha is a treasure! She is reliable, prompt and and trustworthy. She took the best care of our girl, Jacki ( a sweet black lab) while we had to be out of town. I had complete trust that she could handle her and anything unexpected that might come up.

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.
