Pet care experience

Experienced w/Shy & Anxious Pups 🐾

Proud adoptions coordinator at ARF while also engaging in all aspects of animal care life across the shelter. Aspiring licensed vet tech currently taking courses. I've been around dogs most of my life. Pitbulls particularly are my spirit animal. I have acquired experience with a multitude of animals working in a veterinary hospital, which sparked the direction of my career with animals. Very experienced with shy, anxious, fear based pups. Do you have an animal that has social anxiety, is skiddish, or Is your dog nervous or selective? I’d love to see if I am a good fit for them.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I cannot accept other animals in my home at this current time but perhaps one day in the future. I have my indoor cat at home with my significant other and I would love to drop in to tend to your pet(s) or go for walks!

House Sitting • Jul 03, 2026

We moved back home to the area recently and have a very sweet girl who was in an accident a few years back during a routine dog walk while we were on vacation, so we are more cautious with who we choose to take care of her. Sam was game to speak to us before a meet and greet to make sure it was a fit in terms of her experience. We booked a separate last-minute dog walk with her too before this trip, she in both instances she gave us regular updates on our dog's wellbeing while we were away, including following directions on her medications and taking care of her while she was healing from an unexpected back leg injury. We couldn't be happier with her work and recommend her to anyone searching for more experienced care.

Dog Walking • Dec 20, 2025

Samantha was very communicative and took great care of our Octogenarian Yorkshire Terrier. It was a comfort to know that our dog received top notch care while we were away.

Samantha LOVES animals!!! All animals!!! She has always shown extreme compassion and empathy for every animal she meets. She is currently enrolled in school to become a Veterinary Assistant and has worked for the Norwichtown veterinary hospital where her love of animals helped her to realize she needed to become a V.A. She is THE choice if you are looking for someone to walk or care for your pup ((cat, goat, (or any other animal!) in your absence.

Samantha was an exceptional cat sitter for my two cats! From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals. She took the time to understand their personalities and needs, making sure they were comfortable and happy during my time away. Samantha provided regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was attentive to their dietary requirements and even took the time to play with them, ensuring they received plenty of attention and exercise. When I returned home, my cats seemed relaxed and content, which is a testament to her wonderful care. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!

When discussing care with potential clients, I ask about their pets' special needs, including dietary restrictions, health conditions, and any behavioral concerns. I also inquire about specific exercise routines, grooming preferences, and emergency procedures. Additionally, I check if there are comfort items, such as favorite toys or blankets, that could help the pets feel more at ease. These questions ensure I can provide tailored and attentive care for each pet.
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.
