I never want an animal to feel bored or neglected. While i love the downtime and pampering, I still find it really important to include enrichment time with toys and exercise.

Pet care experience

I’ve had a bleeding heart for animals for as long as I can remember. We have always had pets in the family since I was born, but that still wasn’t enough. I have been an active volunteer with HSTV since 2021, and just recently started my first career in the vetmed industry this year.

Samantha, did a fantastic job of looking after our 10 month old Ragdoll kitten, and our home. She played with our kitten everyday and sent pictures and video of his exploits. He seemed very content while we were away. We will definitely book Samantha again.

Sam is absolutely AMAZING! She stayed overnight for about 10 days and took incredible care of my two dogs. One of them is a senior who requires daily oral medication, and Sam did a fantastic job making sure he got his meds every single day while closely monitoring him. My other dog is a very active pit bull who needs extra attention when going outside because she can be sneaky but Sam handled this perfectly and always made sure she was safely on a leash. After having an unpleasant experience with a previous sitter, I was hesitant to use Rover again, but Sam completely changed my mind. She went above and beyond in every way. I came home to a spotless house, and throughout my trip she sent plenty of pictures and messages that truly showed how much she cares and her genuine love for my dogs. I’m so grateful I found Sam and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly, highly recommend!

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.
