Pet care experience

Their comfort - Your Peace of Mind.

Taking care of animals is one of my passion. I had many pets in my whole life; dogs and cats. Now I have a cat and a bearded dragon. I have had experience in several jobs tied directly to the pet sitter. Some examples include: -Working for one of the kennels in Ithaca NY, I was responsible for taking care of dogs -who stay in Kennel. -I was the volunteer at SPCA Tompkin Country to taking care of kitten and cats. -I was pet sitter, dog walker and overnight sitter for Paws2Play more than five years. -Used being a volunteer at PAWS in Shoreline; helped with laundry and folding blankets, cleaning and prepare food for dogs. -I was a pet sitter, dog walker, and overnight sitter for Little Thing Furry in Seattle, WA for more than two years. -I am currently full time pet sitter through Rover. I do cat sitting, dog walks and house sitting. For boarding and daycare, please look below in "important notes." ***Important notes: I can boarding or daycare until end of June. I will move in with my partner, his building is not allow dogs. Unfortunately, I can't do either boarding or daycare anymore. BUT, I still can do cat sitting, house sitting, and dog walks.

Samantha did a great job watching Jimbo!! She communicated very well and sent lots of photos and updates. He seemed very happy when we got home, clearly enjoying a couple of days with Samantha ☺️

Samantha did a nice job taking care of our puppy Inky. Inky was relaxed and happy when we returned and that tells us she had fun with Samantha. Samantha sent us updates throughout the week she took care of Inky along with photos. My one request next time would be more photos. I love seeing pictures of Inky having fun when we're out of town. I hope Samantha had a good time with Inky and we'll see her again. Cheers, Ian

Samantha is great with Jimbo, letting him warm up to her at his own pace. She clearly cares a lot about his wellbeing and comfort :)

Schedule

I am a full-time self-employed pet sitter. I set up my own schedule. It will be easy for me to fit the service into my schedule. Currently dog walking schedule: I have dog walks between 10am to 3pm on Mondays and Thursdays. 11:00am to 3pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Noon to 2pm on Fridays. With those dates and times, I am not available for a new dog walk.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Samantha can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I have a pet at home, Bearded Dragon. His name is Momo. He lives in the enclosure. I'm ok with dogs who will not bother it or cause harm. My cat don't like cats so I can't accept boarding cats anymore.
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.
