Pet care experience

Your Dogs New Bestie

As a reliable and caring dog lover, I believe that pets are family. I have had a house full of pets since I was just 5 years old, and have loved them everyday since. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a nurse, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, medication schedules, and special needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a little bit of everything, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member :)

Samantha was great walking our dog. She was able to handle his high energy and sent some great pictures for our first time using Rover.

Samantha was a fantastic sitter for our foster dog, Widget. I loved getting photos of her over the weekend.

Sam is amazing! She did a great job with our shy and skittish puppy and went above and beyond to make him as comfortable as possible. We will definitely book her again :)

Sam is an amazing dog mom! Her dog goose is great. She is caring attentive and will treat your dog like her own. 10/10 don't ever have to worry about anything when your dog is with Sam.

Samantha is an excellent pet owner and caregiver. Pets have always been in her life and she loves them all. She cares very much about the well being of animals not just her own. She is responsible and always prioritizes the animals needs first. If you decide to have Samantha care for your dog you can know that they are in the best care you can find. She gives lots of love and attention, walks during the day and playtime too. Your dog will love her!!

Schedule

I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so I have plenty of time to love your fur babies. My schooling is remote until January, so I will be home all the time aside from errand runs, so I am very able to keep your pup happy and entertained while you’re away!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a super friendly golden retriever/ German Shepard mix who loves having friends over - he does extremely well when we watch our friends pups. I am able to crate your dog if needed. I do let my dog on the couch and our bed, but I am happy to set any boundaries with your pup that you request.

Pets

A typical day

We have a fenced in backyard, but I still prefer to walk my dog 3 times per day. Your pup would get free range of our yard and some extra leg stretching in the neighborhood throughout the day! In between walks and play time will most likely be a lot of cuddling and relaxing.

As long as your dog gets along with other dogs and can be in the same house as a quiet cat, then there are no restrictions :)
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.
