Pet care experience

Patient, kind, and trustworthy pet sitting military family. Hi! 👋 We’re Josh and Samantha, a husband and wife duo. We work together to give your pets the best, quality care possible. Depending on when you need service, it could be either one of us, both of us, our teens, or a combination. This is why we offer services as a team. Details will be discussed prior to booking so you know exactly what to expect! Our services include dog walking and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs (and other pets if needed). We also offer house sitting which our kids manage. Cooper is 19 and has a job at a vet clinic and volunteers at many church activities. Maggie is 16 and volunteers at different events both at school and at church. Maggie wants to be a Veterinarian and will be interning at the same clinic as Cooper this summer. They both have experience with animals and even special needs pets. They are responsible and reliable. If you have any questions or concerns regarding their house sitting please feel free to discuss those with us! Our family has had many pets over the years (from dogs and cats to rats to even a leopard gecko!) so we have a lot of experience. We currently have a dog (lab mix). ****FIRST TIME ROVER CLIENTS**** Get $20 off your first Rover booking by using code: SAMANL57480 Or visit the following web address to access your discount: https://www.rover.com/sit/samanl57480 Your Pet: We understand what it means to love your pets like family and will make sure to love yours and treat them as if they were our own.

Wonderful experience using Rover for the first time and having Samantha and her fam watch my pooch. They were very communicative and took beyond excellent care of him. Will use her again when needed!!

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.
