Your Dog's Emotional Support Human

Take a chance on a new Rover sitter! Ive been sitting for friends and family for roughly 10 years, and im looking to take my experice to the big leagues. I truly enjoy spending time with my furry friends and making sure they feel happy and comfortable when their parents are away. I tailor my care to each dog’s needs, whether that means extra playtime, helping nervous pups feel calm, or sticking closely to their normal feeding and exercise routine. I also offer little extras like bringing in mail, watering plants, and checking on the house so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to keep your babies routine as normal as possible. Whether it's staying with them throughout the day, stopping in for feeding, playtime, or walks, I'm happy to accommodate. I can also help with basic care tasks like cleaning up accidents or keeping feeding areas tidy. I offer consistent support and companionship, so your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away.

Samantha was great! We will definitely have her back. She cared so much for our doggie, sent regular updates, and asked important questions. She took care of our home as well by watering my flowers and keeping it spotless for when we returned. She was very accommodating when we had a family emergency and cancelled one of the pets that she was supposed to watch. I was overall very impressed!

Samantha has been our dog sitter for the past few years. She shows our dogs the same love we give them every day and our dogs respond with the same love toward her. She follows our instructions to a tee. We use her for a weekend or week at a time. She stays overnight with the dogs during her dog sitting job and our dogs are never stressed. She truly loves animals and it shows in the detailed care she gives to our dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a first class sitter.

Sam is a very loving and responsible pet sitter. She has been in our home for up to a week at a time on many occasions; caring for, walking, feeding, playing, and loving our pets for many years. She is extremely conscientious and thoughtful of our pets and our home. We would highly recommend Sam to care for your furry friends. Sincerely, Jo & Pat McLeod

Schedule

I work full-time in the Milwaukee area, but I have a flexible schedule that lets me work around your dog’s needs. Whether your they needs someone around most of the day or just a check-in, I can make it work. This allows me to stay on top of my job while still giving your pet the attentive, reliable care they deserve.

Before pet sitting its important for me to understand their daily routine, including feeding times, walk schedules, and potty habits. I also find its important to know their medical needs, such as medications, allergies, and vet information, as well as any important behavior traits or triggers, like anxiety, reactivity, or dislikes. Lastly i think its important to know their leash behavior and any house rules.
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.
