Pet care experience
My name is Samantha. I have been with Rover for a few years now, working with dogs in my community. I am a full time Civil Engineer working in the office everyday. I have just recently returned to work after boarding dogs while working from home for about a year. My husband and I continue to take our previous clients who are okay with their dogs being home alone in our apartment during work. We are taking new clients as well, but just want to make sure your dog is comfortable with being alone. Purely out of concern for their experience in a new environment. My husband works 5 minutes from our apartment and stops home for potty breaks. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with a dog park and other dog amenities. My sliding doors open up to a very large courtyard great for any dog. I am also located on the first floor so your dog will not have to endure any steps while staying with me (old doggies welcome!!) Working with Rover has been one of my greatest joys and I am willing to help now more than ever. I am not going into work so there is not the concern of increased exposure from contact with me. I am willing to work with any needs/request in this difficult time to make everyone feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with pets of all ages. I have dog-sat puppies, as well as my parents 14-year chocolate lab. I currently have no animals in my apartment so there is no need to worry about your pets getting along with anyone other than me and my husband. My husband and I own an old Rav4 that is great for a doggy car ride, so we are very open to transporting your animals if that is ever a necessary request! I like all pets, big and small alike. At a party you will find me sitting on the ground with the household pets, and on the street you will see me attempting to bond with any dog that stiffs my leg. I love and respect each pet for their varying personalities, being sure to never push my love on a pet that does not feel comfortable with it. I look forward to meeting your pet needs!
Reviews
Samantha was great with our Angelica and communications with us while we were on our trip. It was really nice to have that peace of mind knowing Angelica is in a nice environment with caring people while we were away.
Samantha and Luke were super sweet to my two doggies! My crazy boy Taz fell in love with Luke and was kind of subdued when we got home. I think he missed all of the petting! Samantha was very responsive and flexible with drop off/pick up times as well. We will definitely ask them to watch our boys again!
They seem nice enough and the pup seemed like he had a good time based on the pictures she sent but for the next few days after I got him back he was acting strange and sick and wouldn't eat. I found vegetables in his stool even though I hadn't said to feed him any. I had provided them with all his food and treats and they hadn't asked me if they could give him any vegetables. I'm pretty sure that's what made him sick. He also came back with a bad scratch on his nose that he only gets if he's been locked up somewhere and needs to get out but he's stuck in some way.
Samantha and Luke were wonderful! Our dog seemed so at home and comfy and at ease. Samantha sent us lots of pictures and communicated really well. She was very happy to be in a loving home! We will definitely try to place our dog in their home again sometime!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a big green space out of our back door for easy access to the outside. We also have multiple fenced areas for the dogs to run and play. We are always very careful to keep our dogs away from any other dogs in the complex. We have no other pets or children.
Home
Information Samantha P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or is prone to anxiety and if there is anything we can do to help. I like to know the basics about how they act when they are stressed (if this applies), how long it takes them to eat in a new environment, what their signal for using the bathroom is, and most of all what makes them happy!!
A typical day
My husband and I love getting to know the dogs we board, discovering their different personalities and how to best care for them. My husband is the BEST dog petter you’ll ever meet - he’s made quite an impact on our needy doggies. We love talking all of our dogs for walks in the morning and at night. We often feel these are the best times to walk, especially in the summer heat.
