Pet care experience

I'll Love Your Pets Like My Own!

Hello! My name is Samantha! I am a former teacher currently working as a remote educator as well as a pet owner to two wonderful cats living in Beverly Beach. You may know me as the girl around the neighborhood who says “hi” to you, and tells your dog that they're "so cute" if I pass you on a walk! I am creating this Rover account because I love spending time with animals and when my partner and I moved here a year ago, I quickly realized that many cat and dog sitters do not include the peninsula in their care radius, which means it can be difficult to find quality pet care on short notice or for long out-of-town trips. During my countless walks around the neighborhood, I've seen just how many beautiful dogs and cats live in our community, and I can’t help but imagine that others have — at one point in time or another — struggled to find reliable pet care. It is my desire to help take care of your four-legged friends when you need someone you can count on. I may be a good fit to help with your dog(s) and/or cat(s) because, in addition to loving animals, I have professional experience working for a pet-care company in Washington, D.C., where I walked dogs and checked in on cats while their owners were away. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats for longer periods of time for several friends and colleagues who were gone for extended periods of time. Additionally, I am trained in pet CPR and understand that every animal is unique and has unique needs. I am excited to get to know you and your furry friends, and look forward to being your reliable, local animal lover and pet caretaker!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Since I have two senior cats of my own, I do not offer in-home pet care services. I look forward to meeting your pets in your own home, whether that be for daily care or an overnight stay. As I have worked for a pet care company that specialized in taking care of animals while their owners were out-of-town, I understand that the importance of making sure your pet is safe and their environment is clean, while respecting your space and personal items.

Samantha is such a responsible and loving care giver for my cat. He thrives while I am away and I relax knowing she will be there for him.

I can't say enough about how caring and loving Samantha is with Baxter. She has a real love for animals. Additionally she is responsible and respectful of my home. I feel so fortunate to have Samantha care for my cat and look forward to having her return.

The more information you can give me about your furry friend, the better! I am also open to meeting you and your pet in-person ahead of our first session, so that you can introduce me to them, show me where their supplies are, and feel comfortable with me caring for them while you are away.
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.
