Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly, energetic, and loves pets
I have 2 golden doodles and one small mixed breed. They are high energy dogs and love to run about the yard. I have experience house sitting and watching medium-large size dogs as well as puppies and seniors. I have watch dogs between 1-8 days, but if needed I can stay longer. I am able to follow a meal schedule, as well as medication schedule. Depending on who I am caring for and the house rules, the dogs can join me on the sofa, or to bed. Playing with toys, going for walks, and playing fetch are some activities that I will engage in when watching your dog/dogs. Their will also be time for lots of belly rubs and pets. When going for walks, I take in the age, size, and ability into consideration when thinking about the length of the walk. Usually I just go for a walk around the block and through the park, but if there is a specific route you usually take and would rather me walk, then I am happy and open to taking a referred route. When doing walk-ins and checking up on the pets and house I will go every 2-4 hours. Making sure that pets are okay, have relieved themselves, have enough water, and given an hour or so of play time. I am a genuine pet lover of both cats and dogs, and I look forward to getting to know you and your pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very flexible and will take care of cats and dogs. I am also good at sticking to a meal schedule and medication schedule. I do give lots of time for play for high energy dogs, but also take into account age and limitations so everyone is safe. I follow house rules, so if no couches and beds I can do that and vice versa. I also enjoy a good walk so if it is agreed upon and wanted I love taking dogs for walks, but would like to know if they are reactive in advance.
Ratings and reviews
We are so grateful to Samantha. Unfortunately our other rover sitter backed out only one day into our trip, so we had to scramble to find someone else while already out of town. Samantha responded right away and accommodated us, sending lots of photos and even helping us troubleshoot a couple of things with our house! She gave our kitties a lot of playtime and attention and reassured me that they were taking their medications. Will definitely have Samantha back in the future!
This is an easy 5 star review. Sam took care of our boys so well. Easy and quick communication, regular updates as to how they were doing, and the place was left very clean. We came home and our dog/cat barely cared that we were back. They were very relaxed after a weekend of Sam's care and clearly received ample love and attention. We will rebook her whenever we can!
Samantha took great care of our dogs for the weekend. We got daily updates with photos. We will definitely book her again if we need someone to watch our dogs!!
Sam was great! We had some changes of plans during our time away and she was very accommodating, responsive, and understanding. The boys also seemed to love her. She comes across as highly reliable and we will hope to ask her to petsit again in the future when we next leave town.
Samantha was amazing she even took Aria for a walk,and left the house clean we will use her again
Sam was great, as usual. Thanks for taking great care of our dog!

Schedule
I am currently working part time, so if your dogs or cats do need extra attention for medical reasons, I will need you to book at least 2 weeks in advance so I can take off work. But apart from that, I’ll still have plenty of time to take care of your pets even if scheduled. And depending on location I can more then likely come back to the house on my break.
