Availability

I am on maternity leave until January and am home almost 24/7. Outside of leave, i work from home a few days a week and make my own schedule of the time so the dogs will more than like always have someone home. When I do work out of the house I try to make it the days my partner is off in the morning so that the dogs do not have to be alone. If we expect to leave the house for an extended period of time I will always communicate this with you beforehand.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 5 foot fenced in yard with AMPLE running space (literally the size of a mini dog park) and a pack of four dogs, in which three never stop playing! We make sure the dogs have shade and water outside on warm days. We have plenty of toys and dogs beds for maximum comfort. Our house is completely doggy proof so they get free roams at all times.

Information Samantha L. would like to know about your pet

Myself and my partner have experience with senior dogs and administering medications. My partner is a full time vet assistant and a part time employee at a vet ER.

A typical day

My dogs get as many outdoor breaks as they want, especially on warmer days. We also take our dogs for hikes/walks whenever we get the chance.

Pets

Here to love your babe(s) as my own

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and plan to one day own a sanctuary. We do have a newborn as of 9/12/24, thus I require your dog(s) to be previously exposed to babies. Please do not book if you do not know how your dog will be with a baby as we are not your test site. My partner and I currently have three dogs and an indoor cat, who is literally like another dog, as well as a leopard gecko, bearded dragon, ducks and chickens outback. As you can see we are well versed with all animals, it’s truly my life’s calling and if it paid all my bills it would be my full time job. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and would love to help take care of any fur babies I can! I don’t mind swinging by to go for walks, to feed/give medicine, or just for some company. My dogs are very friendly, very energetic, and always love when we have doggie slumber parties. I have ranged from boarding one dog to ten for one night to two months (ranging in all sizes). I will communicate if there will be another visitor at the time of your request. Your dog MUST be spayed/neutered and have been exposed to other dogs. I will not risk the chance of any unnecessary tussles around my baby. I ALWAYS require a meet and greet (whether you’re one minute or one hour away) as we need to make sure our dogs get along and because you and your dog need to ensure my home is a good home for your babe while you’re away. Please do not inquire for boarding or daycare if you refuse a meet and greet - I will not move forward with your request. I also prefer to come to your home to meet your dog(s) upon request for in person visits to ensure they trust/like me and to make sure I know the ins and outs of what your request consists of. I will care for you animals the same exact way I care for mine.

Samantha communicates clearly and promptly, and sent updates daily while we were away from our dog. When we returned, our dog was happy, tired, and not at all stressed. We will definitely be back!

Sam is a rockstar!!! Not only is she fantastic with our pack, but she is incredibly trustworthy and a pleasure to chat with!!. Sam provides proactive updates as she cares for our dogs, which removes any worry on our part. She communicates when she will be there, how they are doing, and shares lots of pics. We feel incredibly blessed to have connected with Sam, and highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their fur babies!!!

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.
