Pet care experience

Pawsitively the Best Care!

With years of hands-on experience, I'm comfortable and confident caring for a wide range of pets, from playful puppies to relaxed senior dogs and independent cats. My passion for animals is what truly sets me apart—I'm not just a sitter; I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Specialized Skills & Compassionate Care I understand that every pet has different needs, and I'm skilled at providing personalized care for yours. My experience includes: Senior Care: I have a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs, including administering oral medications, providing gentle walks, and offering extra patience and comfort. Puppy Care: I'm experienced in the unique needs of puppies, from maintaining consistent feeding schedules and providing potty breaks to engaging in positive playtime to help them grow into happy, well-socialized dogs. Loyal and Attentive Service: You can count on me to be reliable and communicative. I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away, ensuring you know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I'm dedicated to being the caring and dependable person your pet can count on for cuddles, playtime, and a little extra love.

Samantha was a reliable and loving sitter for our cat. Our cat is usually shy with strangers. She patiently coaxed our kitty into being comfortable with her. The two of them became great friends while we were on our trip. Samantha is an excellent communicator. She provided daily individualized updates. Our house was in good order when we returned. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend.

Samantha was wonderful and Lou clearly loved spending time with her. She was perfectly calm when we came home, and while she was happy to see us come home she was also sad that Samantha had to leave lol Samantha had great communication throughout the stay and a calm, gentle presence. We felt completely at ease knowing Lou was in such great hands and would happily book with her again! Thanks Samantha! :)

Samantha is wonderful - she helped me last minute board our puppy so we could ski for a few days. She is very responsive and our puppy was well taken care of. We received lots of pictures and the drop off and pick up were great.

Schedule

My flexible, work-from-home schedule allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. Your pet will have constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of opportunities for playtime and affection. This means your pet gets consistent care and companionship, and you get peace of mind knowing they're never left alone for long periods.

Samantha can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
To provide the best care, I need to know the following about your pet: Routine: Daily schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. Personality & Behavior: Any fears, anxieties, or specific quirks. Health: Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications. Emergency Contacts: Your vet's information and an emergency contact person. Having this information ensures I can provide a seamless and stress-free experience for your pet.
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.
