Information Samantha & James R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dogs normal daily routine is and I will try my hardest to match that to make them feel at home!

I love to start the day by giving the dogs exercise in the yard and then individual morning walks with enrichment training. I also have puzzle games for dogs such as freezing dog treats in kings and lick mats.

Samantha and James are amazing people aside from caring for George :) They went above and beyond caring of our pup while we were out of town. Samantha was proactive with communication and pics - putting our minds at ease that George was doing well and thriving. We are so incredibly grateful they folded George into their loving home at the last minute with confidence and joy. We would absolutely recommend Samantha and James to any one!

Highly recommend Samantha, we came from out of town to spend Christmas eve and Christmas with my family and she was so flexible with our times to pick up our baby. Thanks to her flexibility we were able to enjoy my family before heading back home. If you’re looking for a pet sitter/boarding she is the one!!!!

Samantha and James were super kind and caring with our little doggy. They handled the introductions of dogs and separation of small and big dogs very well. They sent a lot of photos and updates during her stay with them and we appreciated knowing that she was in safe hands. I would highly recommend them.

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.
