Information Samantha J. would like to know about your pet

It would be great to know your animal’s typical temperament, their interest in other animals, aspects of their typical walks, any dietary concerns, and really anything that is unique to your dog!

A typical day

I have a bunch of toys our home for dogs. I can tailor the activities to the energy level and specific needs of the animal.

Pet care experience

I’ve had 2-3 dogs in my house since I was in middle school. Since high school, I began dog, cat, and baby sitting for my neighbor on a regular basis and even continued while on breaks from college and after graduation. For the past 5 years, I was the primary dog, cat, and house sitter for a lovely family. My senior year of college I fostered a dog, which my family and I then went on to adopt. I have experience with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and ages. After helping a variety of dogs & cats in NYC, I have relocated to Connecticut, and I’m looking to help out any people and pets in my area!

Samantha was amazing! Super quick with communication, sent pictures of my dogs during their stay, and was super understanding when dogs had accidents because they got scared. Definitely trust Samantha with your dog!!

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.
