Pet care experience
Happy Animals, Happy Owners
Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with a Husky, Shar-Pei Chow mix, and German Shepherd, I learned early how to understand and manage different personalities and energy levels. Today, I share my home with my German Shepherd/Pyrenees mix and two cats, so I know firsthand the love, attention, and patience pets need every day. Professionally, I’ve worked in dog daycare, boarding, and pet sitting for years, giving me experience managing everything from high-energy pups to seniors and pets with special needs. As a Pack Leader at Pups Paradise, I supervised groups of 15–100+ dogs, ensuring safety, enrichment, and proper socialization while administering medications, managing dietary needs, and maintaining clean, comfortable environments. I also trained and trusted to open, close, and cover mid-shifts, perform late-night checks, and monitor dog health and behavior consistently. Through Rover and private dog walking/pet sitting, I provide personalized care for pets in their homes or outdoors. I’m experienced in all types of dog behaviors, including leash reactivity, dog-to-dog reactivity, fearfulness, and anxiety. I know how to keep walks and playtime safe, reduce stress, and help dogs feel confident and happy. I also administer medications—including pills, chewables, syringes, inhalers, and insulin shots—with care and precision. I take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I provide daily updates, photos, and detailed reports, ensuring owners feel confident and stress-free while they’re away. From playful pups to pets needing extra care or attention, I treat every animal like family. My goal is simple: your pet’s well-being, happiness, and comfort come first.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide safe, reliable, and attentive care for pets in their homes or on walks. I follow owner instructions closely, manage behavioral needs like leash reactivity, and provide play, exercise, and companionship tailored to each pet. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust, keeping owners updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.
Ratings and reviews
Samantha takes excellent care of Daisy. She is very responsible and thoughtful.

She helped me in my time when I needed to work and I had a last-minute pick up so I appreciate her so much!!

Samantha exceeded all my expectations as a dog sitter! She is an excellent communicator, kept the house and yard clean, and went above and beyond her listed responsibilities when I had an unexpected delivery while I was gone. My anxious border collie was happy and relaxed with Samantha.

Samantha was fantastic with my dog Sammy. She took him for a long walk and made sure his water bowl was filled before leaving!

I’ll be booking Samantha every time I go out of town from here on out! I had to book a cat sitter last minute and she fit me right into her schedule and was such a pleasure to have look after my sweet girl! She sent me updates daily with lots of pictures that really put my mind at ease while away from home. 10/10 recommend her services!!

This was our first experience using Rover since our previous sitter isn’t able to dog/house sit anymore. Sam was incredibly helpful and communicative during our trip. Our dog ended up not feeling her best while we were away, but Sam really stepped up and compassionately took care of her sudden accidents without any complaints. She did a great job tending to our home and asked clarification questions when she had any. We know there’s a learning curve with any new dog/home routine and look forward to working with Sam in the future so we can become more in sync.
