Safety, trust & environment

✦ a higher quality of care ✦ CLEANLINESS + SAFETY— Pets can break things, get muddy, make messes. Stuff happens. It’s my policy to leave the common space of a home just as clean (or cleaner!) than I found it. I’ll also never leave a booking without ensuring all pets are present and have access to clean drinking water. THE EXTRA MILE— Like bringing in packages if they arrive, feeding the fish, or watering plants when needed. Sometimes I’m even able to shoot some portrait photos! more about my services: ☆ I am familiar with puppy socialization, potty training, and standard obedience training. If your dog is already working on any of these I am happy to discuss that to incorporate it into into my visits with them. ☆ I always carry spare baggies with me on walks to clean up after the dogs, and trainer treats to give out, if your pet is allowed. ☆ I will not introduce your pets to any other animals or people during my visits unless it is specifically OKed by you, the owner beforehand.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is not fixed, if they are reactive to other people/animals, or if they have any relevant medical issues.

A typical day

My walks are usually ‘sniff-focused’ as it is often the most entertaining and comfortable pace for the dog. Sniffing provides great low-impact exercise for any age and breed! I try to take lots of high-quality photos and to give each pup a certain degree of control over where they explore. I also like to add enriching activities, like puzzle-toys, when possible.

Pet care experience

✦what puts me and my services above the rest?✦ ✓RELIABILITY- Consistency is key! On my visits I ensure that each pet is happy and comfortable— and that their space is tidy, hazard-free, and completely secured when I leave. ✓EXPERIENCE- I have many years of animal care experience, Including 3+ years of sitting here on Rover. I’m comfortable around even the biggest pups and I also have experience caring for exotic pets such as bunnies, rats, fish, and reptiles. ✓TRUST- Pets are precious—It’s a lot of responsibility. That’s why I’ve worked hard to establish great reviews, openness, and transparency in my business, so that you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. You’ll always receive an honest, detailed Rover card with several pictures after each of your pet’s walks or visits.

We absolutely love Samantha! My husband and I always book her whenever we travel because we know our two cats are in great hands. She takes wonderful care of them, makes sure they’re happy and doing well, and spends time playing with them and giving them attention. The peace of mind she provides while we’re away is truly priceless. We never have to worry because we know our cats are being cared for like they’re her own. Highly recommend-book her! 🐱❤️

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.
