Looking for a Friendly Paw Friend!

Hi my name is Samantha but my friends call me Sami! I have grown up with and cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals my entire life! I have been doing Rover for couple of years now. My love and passion of caring for animals lead me to becoming a Veterinary Technician at an Animal Hospital in Bloomingdale. I have experience giving oral and injection/SQF medication administration. I can provide nail trims and basic grooming if pet allows. I have worked with 2week old puppies/kittens to senior dogs and cats

Safety, trust & environment

I provide lots of outdoor time for energetic dogs, as well as cats if they have leash trained. Willing to take your pet on trail walks or there favorite dog park. I can provide chew toys, kongs, frozen and dry treats (unless there's an allergy restriction) , and puzzles that will stimulate there minds. *I do not offer off-leash services. If we are leaving your property or fenced in area a leash will be required for safety purposes. *I do not offer constant care at this time. At this time for House Sitting- I only take dogs that are able to be alone for 6-8 hours as I have work throughout the day. *Require a meet and greet with any new clients for safety purposes. As well as to get to know you, your home, and most importantly your pets. I only book 3 months out at a time, if you are planning to be away far in advanced, I would absolutely hold your spot until it gets closer to your departure date.

We had a great experience with Samantha for overnight help with our pittie. She was also flexible with us throwing a last minute curveball to help our next door neighbor’s dog too, giving them lots of playtime and making sure our house was nice and clean when we got back, despite it being muddy outside. 10/10 would recommend!

Samantha stayed at our house for a week with our two pups and did such an amazing job! She sent multiple daily updates, including photos, and kept great communication throughout her stay. Our one dog required medication while we were gone, and Samantha did a great job administering and following our special instructions. We were truly at ease knowing the dogs were in such good hands! Samantha is so incredibly sweet and extremely reliable. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs (and house) were well cared for!

When we lost our previous dog sitter we did not know what to do. My daughter was in the same situation and found Samantha. She was so pleased with her that we decided to also give Samantha a try. Contacting her was super easy and she is quick to respond. We set up a date to meet Samantha in person and introduce her to our dogs. I have to tell you, this girl is a natural with animals! I still was a bit nervous when it finally came time for our trip. Samantha is very serious and professional about her job. She did all that we asked including walking the dogs daily and even brushing their teeth! Everyday she sent us texts and pictures of our pups. I can’t recommend Samantha enough. She is a kind, caring person who will take the best possible care of your babies. She stayed the whole week at our house. Not only did she do a fantastic job with our dogs, she left our house looking great too! Thank you again, Sam…..we will definitely be having you stay again with our 2 fur babies!!

I’m hesitant to write too good of a review bc selfishly I want Samantha all to myself, but I’ll put my selfish desires aside and say that there is no one on this app that I can more highly recommend than Samantha. She was respectful, communicative and took great care of my 95 lb golden retriever who can become reactive when he sees other dogs. She helped me last second when I was in a bind, and her bubbly, kind personality ( that you can feel just through her texts) made me confident that she would give my dog lots of love while I was away. Highly recommend her!

Samantha recently stayed with and cared for our dog Gus -- she was AMAZING! She went above and beyond for our dog while he struggled with us being away. We got updates throughout the day, she got him to eat despite him being sad and resistant. Her kindness and persistence paid off -- he began playing and being his silly self thanks to her. She left our home wonderfully clean and tidy -- we will absolutely be contacting Samantha for our future needs and I think Gus will be VERY happy about that! Thanks Samantha!

Samantha took care of my very shy cat while away on vacation. She was patient and spent time trying to make him comfortable while we were away. She gave us daily updates and photos. She is super sweet and kind. I really appreciate her knowledge on cat care as well! I felt at ease knowing our cat was being cared for by Samantha! I highly recommend her.
