Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

How social is your pet? Are there any allergies or triggers I need to know about? Does your pet like to be handled or is there anything that gives them anxiety?

A typical day

A typical day of care starts with making sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for meals, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs your pet may have. During visits, I’ll spend quality time getting to know your pet’s personality—whether that means playtime and attention for a social pet or a calm, patient approach for a shy one. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

RN + 5⭐ Pet Care Provider

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter returning to Rover with a 5-star rating and a genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and trustworthy looking after your pets when you can’t be there. I’m a registered nurse, which means I’m naturally detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following care instructions closely. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing calm, loving care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. My healthcare background also gives me experience with careful medication administration and following specific care routines, including helping pets who may need extra attention or support. I work remotely during the week, so while I’m not available to leave during my work hours (10 AM–6:30 PM Monday–Friday), I offer availability for early morning visits, evening drop-ins, and flexible weekend care. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, cat care, feeding, playtime, litter box care, medication administration, and keeping your pets company while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, daily check-in, medication support, or a reliable person to care for them while you’re traveling, I’d love the opportunity to provide the same patience, attention, and compassion I bring to everything I do. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Samantha is a wonderful, caring, and attentive caregiver! I never have to worry about my pets when I’m away or working long shifts because I know she is caring for them like she would care for her own children.
