Information Samantha L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dogs temperament and their likes/dislikes. Also your preference for any reinforcement of current training. I will have training treats on me so let me know of any dietary restrictions or preferences.

A typical day

I cater walks to each dogs needs to make sure they are getting a balance of exercise & time to safely get their sniffs in. Enrichment is very important to me so I like to incorporate that with overnights.

Pet care experience

***available in Portland for the month of July. For my San Francisco clients I will be back in August!** I grew up with dogs & they have always brought me so much joy. While volunteering at the SPCA, I found my soul dog that was transferred to the shelter newly blind and needing extra care. Navigating life with him has brought my skills and understanding to an entirely new level. I have cared for many breeds of various sizes & temperments. I am a very patient & an active person so I can adjust to the various needs of your unique family member.

Sam is the absolute best. We have a senior dog that is pretty high maintenance and Sam makes it look easy. No other sitter has ever even come close to this level of care.

Sam is simply amazing with my pup. He chilled with her while I was out of town it was totally reassuring the puppet was living his best life!

We’ve used her twice now for overnight boarding and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She’s always quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and makes the whole process stress-free. Most importantly, she takes such great care of my dog. I can tell my pup feels comfortable and happy with her, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I truly appreciate the updates with pics. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!

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.
