Pet care experience

Professional belly rubber

I grew up with dogs and cats in my family home. Growing up I had both indoor and outdoor dogs and cats. At 10, I started taking care of neighbors and family pets when they were out of town or busy with other things in life. Taking care of these pets have included feeding, walking, bathing, and giving medication. I participated in puppy preschool at my local vet clinic and obtained the skills to teach a puppy how to sit, stay, lay, bow, and shake. In college, I helped friends train their puppies with these skills as well as took care of their puppies when out of town. I grew up with barn cats and still take care of my parents cats when they are out of town. I am well rehearsed in cleaning the litter box and the calming affection needed.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I have two large female dogs. One is full pitbull and the other is a pitbull mix. I crate trained my full pit and I let my pitbull mix roam freely in a bedroom while I am away. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we take walks periodically around the neighborhood. One is more energetic than the other so we usually make a pit stop at the local dog park on our walks. I believe each pet is cared for differently based on each pets personality/needs. However you would like your pet cared for is how I will care for them! I believe routine is important to keeping a pet happy and satisfied (especially when you are away), so whatever routine is already in place in your home will be carried over as I care for your pet! ☺️

Sam was awesome! She watched both my dogs for a week while out of time. She’s extremely prompt and spot on with timing of her drop ins. She took awesome care of my dogs and I’d recommend anyone looking for help to reach out to her!

Samantha was wonderful. She was very proactive in communicating with us on any needs our two fur babies had in food or activities.

She did a great job. My dogs were happy and exhausted after their walk. She even adjusted the time based on the rain so that my dogs would get their full walk. I would hire her again for sure

Schedule

I’m currently on summer hours, so anytime during the week works for me. I am a full time teacher, so when school starts again in August I will only be able to do early mornings and evenings during the week days and will have time throughout the day on weekends to care for your pet!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Samantha can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pet has any specials needs or behaviors that I can account for. I will ask you questions to get to know the routine you have established at home with your pet. There is no such thing as providing to much information when caring 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.
