I can provide mentally stimulating activities and can crate your dog if needed. I care for all animals as if they are my own while in my care.

Information Samantha L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I would need to accommodate for and provide detailed instructions if needed. I can administer injections as I had a diabetic dog.

A typical day

I love stimulating walks with treats for tricks and allowing them to smell at their pace to become mentally tired. We can also play fetch or fill up longs for when I leave.

Pet care experience

I am a loving pet mom to a lab mix and want to help busy pet parents take care of their fur babies. I am an experienced pet sitter for all breeds of cats and dogs. For pets with special needs, I have taken care of a diabetic dog, so medications and injections are no issue for me. I work a hybrid corporate job and love helping other pet parents for when they finally take a vacation or work trip! I am currently in the Lakeshore East area.

Samantha was an amazing Rover for Neptune! She followed all my instructions and even went above and beyond by emptying the litter genie and taking my trash out. Will be booking her again!

Samantha does an excellent job every time she watches Muffin. She helped me out on short notice, takes impeccable care of my home and is so thoughtful and considerate of my cat. I always trust her with my girl and in my home!

Samantha is truly a gem; she takes care of our girl like she’s her own and she keeps an eye out on our home as well. We adore her and Butters does too!!

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.
