Dogs A Girl's Bestfriend

**If you're new to Rover here's my promo code for $20 off your first request SAMANK93051** Animals make the world a better place. I love being able to work with animals so much. They just make my day brighter. I couldn't imagine life without them. Being able to work with animals every day is a dream come true. Not only do I enjoy doing this so much for myself but my 2 kids and my husband love doing along my side. We all make a wonderful team taking care of fur babies. Your fur baby will always be treated as if they were our own baby in our care. While you are away we will gladly take over on loving on them! I have had the pleasure of working for Rover for 3 years now. Working for Rover I have been around all kinds of fur babies from huge to tiny, from picky eaters to will eat anything lol. Working for Rover has given me the experience to know what to expect when caring for a baby since I've done it so much. I also have been caring for pets of my own for 9 years now. But have grown up around all kinds of animals. My first born son is a Doberman Pincher and he is a pretty big boy. He is the best dog ever! He's is like my shadow and follows me everywhere I go. He's great around other dogs. He will sniff like crazy but after that he just wants to play and go get his blankey. We live in an apartment and getting exercise isn't as easy as it is with families with a yard. But can't let that stop us. I make sure my baby gets the exercise and outside time he wants and needs. So I have made it my duty to help dogs who have the same or different obstacles in their way of enjoying there natural desire to be outside and to get the exercise they need to stay healthy. I am a huge dog lover and will go above and beyond to make sure a dog is happy, seeing them happy makes me happy. My dog has always been there for me and made me happy when I needed him, the least I can do is be there for all animals who need my help in making life more healthy and fun! I am available any day or time during the week and weekends. This is my only job and I am pretty flexible and willing to work with drop off and pick up times. I don't have a yard because I live in an apartment. But I can't let that stop me, I take my dog out to walk and play probably more than I should because we dont have a yard. He is a big boy and exercise is very important for him to stay healthy. So we go for long walks and I have a little yard outside my patio for emergency potty breaks. I also live right by the floor wall so we tend to walk it a lot my dog absolutely loves going up it.

Samantha was incredible. She came over twice before we left on our trip to spend a little time with Milo and Bear and to hear how we wanted our dogs taken care of. She was attentive, respectful, kind, and loving towards our dogs and they were happy and relaxed when we returned. It’s so nice when you can find someone to trust with your babies and we will definitely be using her again!

Boarding • Apr 27, 2026

This was my first time using any type of boarding service for my dog and I was nervous but once I talked to samantha I just knew I could trust her. She kept me updated everyday with pictures and told me about the day with my dog. Honestly looked like my dog had more fun with her than he does with me lol. I can’t thank her enough and I will definitely book with her again. 10/10 not one complaint

Samantha was so sweet and patient with Jake. He is an older dog and took such great care of him. I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment so I walk my boy to go potty, play, or walk. I have a yard in front of my patio if we have a potty emergency. It is not fenced in so I will NOT have your baby off leash ever. I also can easily crate your baby in my XL crate if need be. E

Pets

A typical day

I love to take my dog and clients dogs for walks. I live by a pond and we like to walk to the pond and watch the water and the ducks swim around. We also like to bring toys along on our walk or just throw toys in the front yard. And you know when we get back from our walk we have to get a TREAT!!! Lol I also have two wonderful kiddos and they absolutely love helping and playing with our dog and others. My kids and the dogs work together in tiring each other out.

I think it's important to know any major health concerns. Are their shots up to date. If he or she is good with other dogs or children. Are people allowed to pet the dog. Are they potty trained. And just the schedule and what their routine is.
