Pet care experience
I adore caring for all shapes and sizes of different canine characters. I have worked as a pet groomer and owned dogs for my whole life. I have experience with dogs of every need and breed. Maybe yours wants a lap to snuggle in and a scratch behind the ears. While others may prefer to take their space after a long walk and a wiz. I've been caring for and watching over the animals of friends and family (and now that of the Rover community) since I was a kid. Whether it was just to help out letting a friend's dog out while they worked a long shift or spending a few nights making sure everything in the house ran smoothly while the owners were away, I am happy to help! On top of that I worked as a professional pet groomer for 3 years. I have experience working with almost every dog breed and the unique personalities that come along with them. Grooming, at times, could be a task of great patience and discipline and I have come away from it knowing how to calm an excited puppy with a stern voice and soothe the nerves of a scared old man with a chest rub and calming tone. I have a love and passion for working with animals and will make sure that they are well and taken care of properly at all times. You will get plenty of photos of me and your pet as we work together and cultivate a relationship and a consistent line of communication in regards to both you and your pets needs. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns!
Reviews
Sam was an excellent dog, chicken, and house sitter. Her dog Duke was a great companion to our dog while we were away and the house was clean and tidy when we returned - even clean sheets! Thank you Sam!
We had Samantha come stay at our house with her pup duke. Duke was great with our dog and very patient. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We also got pictures daily and a run down of the day.
Piper loves walks with Sam, and Sam always sends photos of their adventures!
Samantha is great! My pup loves hanging out with her and it's so reassuring to know that I can trust someone to take good care of her and have some adventures while I'm at work.

I am currently only working out of clients homes. I can do drop in services throughout the day and housesitting. I do my best to adhere to the routine set by the pet parent and have worked with timid, shy, and senior animals.

Availability
I am working evenings/nights, and the shifts are generally pretty short which makes it easy to help out with the pups! I prefer to do house sitting but I can do drop ins throughout the day as well. Me ad my dog are a package deal on housesitting. That way, I don't have to split my time between taking care of your pups and mine. He is amazing with all other animals and is quiet and and well trained. He can be kept separated in the short times I am not at the residence.
