Pet care experience

Home full-time, lots of love

I will welcome your pet to its home away from home, showing them the attention and love they require as if they were with you. There isnt anything im not willing to try to ensure your best friend feels as comfortable and continues with their daily schedule the best of my ability- special walking requests (time, amount, distance, frequency), special dietary needs or medication administration, etc. Will allow on furniture and provide any "treats" that you request. But will also ensure that no pets on furniture, no people food, no treats, etc if thats what you desire as well. Either way, you give me the word and ill be more than happy to continue the same care your pet receives at home, no questions asked! If you're looking for a home away from home for your pet, youve found the right person and home! I look forward to hearing from you and mostly meeting the love of your life and continuing the same care they receive at home.

Samantha devotes all her time and attention to your dog as she has no other pets or any children. That is very valuable and alleviates any worry about things. Our goldendoodle seems to have a new friend and the boarding could not have gone better. I highly recommend Samantha in the Mechanicsburg area.

Sammy took excellent care of our dog Chanel! She sent us photos and updates while we were away out of state. Would book with her again!

Petunia had a great time with Samantha. We were kept informed with many pics and texts. Samantha took extra special care of our little fur baby!

Great intro to rover. Samantha was great with my pup. Provided daily updates and could tell he was comfortable staying with her. Highly recommended!

Schedule

I am currently a stay at home homemaker so this allows me to practically be with your pet family member 24 hrs a day which allows us to get to know each other quickly and ensues your furry family member is spoiled with my time.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a quiet neighborhood which allows me to keep a close eye on your furry family member at all times. Most of the time I get a sidekick with me immediately!! I ensure during potty breaks and walks that I familiarize myself with your pets needs, likes, and dislikes (eg. Other animals).

A typical day

I enjoy taking the dogs that I watch and that stay with me for walks ( MECHANICSBURG public pool is always a blast to walk around ) and at speeds and distances that I'm told they are comfortable doing. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep your dogs routine as normal and familiar to them as possible.

I have a strong medical background ( Physician Assistant for 12 years) so I am comfortable and confident with any special needs as well as administratoring any medications needed. I always abide by the owners request for food and treats. As I live in a condominiumn I appreciate knowing ahead of time how vocal your fury family member generally is. My choice has always been to not crate BUT if that is what you want and what they are accustomed to than I have no problem doing so. **We recently moved into a development that has an HOA which restricts certain dog breeds; including PitBulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds** Although I can’t board or dog sit these breeds I would be happy to watch your pup at your own home.
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.
