Information Samantha P. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

Something that I've realized that a lot of dogs/cats enjoy is when I read to them. I typically bring my book with me to soothe them while they miss their pet parents!

Pet care experience

I previously volunteered at the SPCA walking dogs, caring for kitties, and tending to the smaller pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc.) in addition to being a dog walker for Rover clients. I have experience with all types of animal personalities and am very attentive to any special instructions considering every dog/cat has their own quirks. I will provide you with picture updates during my visit (maybe even a stylish little photoshoot) and treat your animals with love & attentive care, as I know I would want for my own 2 cats. I also have experience training dogs and can offer advice/lessons if requested.

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.
