Professional Pet Loving Couple

Pet care experience

Hi there, Samantha and Michael here! We have been animal lovers our whole lives!🐾 We each have over a decade worth of experience in dog/pet/house sitting, boarding, and walking. Sam has worked in canine boarding, daycare, and training facilities, has volunteered at animal shelters and a canine cancer research lab for years. Mike has been called a dog whisperer too many times to count! We understand and implement breed specific and individualized care. We know you’re four legged best friend is one of a kind! Michael is a fantastic dog trainer and he did an amazing job with our 3 year old hound mix Chapman. Throughout your buddy’s stay, they will enjoy good vibes all day & night!✨ We can work on training basic commands and obedience through positive reinforcement and intentional practice (and low calorie training treats!) 🔆 fresh filtered water 🔆 all natural biscuits & training treats 🔆 blanket & spot on the couch 🔆 individualized exercise 🔆 toys 🔆 tennis balls 🔆 dog park 🔆 light brushing/grooming 🔆 snuggles & pets

This was the second time Samantha dog sat for us and we know she takes care of our dog like she would her own. She was accommodating of our travel plans and let us drop off and pick up later in the evening. We’re so glad to have found her and Mike on Rover.

First time using Rover and really first time leaving my Bentley with anyone. Samantha is truly the best! I brought Bentley for a meet and greet beforehand and I could tell instantly that Samantha pays close attention to how Bentley interacts in various situations and I knew she would be very attentive to Bentley. She and Michael constantly interacted with Bentley his entire stay and treated him as their own. I highly recommend Samantha. She will be my go to for any future pet sitting needs!

We had a wonderful experience with Samantha. She was so easy to get in touch with and took great care of our dog. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was. We’d definitely book her again!

Safety, trust & environment

Our dog Chapman is truly a member of our family, our fur child, and every pet that comes into our home is treated with the same love, careful attention and perks! We truly enjoy doing life with our four legged best friend! Playing fetch with Chapman in the backyard, taking him to our local and community dog parks, adventuring to all the lakes in our area, beach trips, camping, beach camping, hiking..he pretty much goes wherever we go, and that is how we like it! We are a very active family, but also love to relax with puppy snuggles on the couch. We promise your fur baby will always be in a safe environment and feel cared for. We take this promise seriously.

A typical day

We always joke that we want to be like Chapman in our next life, because he has quite a good life out here! We have a large (unfenced) yard, two fenced dog parks in our community, large fenced in dog park in downtown Fuquay, dog friendly lakes all around, nature trails, etc. Our housing development and the sidewalks surrounding the area are wonderful for walks with all friendly dogs in our neighborhood.
