Pet care experience

Walks, Snuggles & Tail Wags!

I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom of two, so I truly understand the importance of trusting the person caring for your pup. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a long hike, or some good old-fashioned cuddle time, I tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and personality. My goal is always to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were part of my family. In my own home, that means a safe, cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s mealtime schedules, medication, or favorite bedtime rituals. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the family’s. I follow instructions carefully, ensure that food, water, and litter needs are met, and give each pet the level of attention and affection they’re comfortable with. Whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or a calm presence for a shy animal, I adapt to what each pet needs most.

Samantha is a true animal lover through and through. I’ve known Sam for several years and have had the pleasure of spending time with her and her pets on many occasions. They are always well-behaved, well-groomed, and most importantly, clearly loved. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a pet sitter or dog walker, as I know she will always put the safety and well-being of the animals first. As an added bonus, she’s also an incredible pet photographer! – M. Snider

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Samantha took such wonderful care of our dog while we were away. From the very beginning, they were reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with pets. We loved getting daily updates and pictures—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was happy, safe, and getting plenty of love and exercise. Our dog can be a little shy with new people, but she warmed up instantly, which says a lot! When we got home, she was calm, content, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust to look after her like family. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter!

Schedule

Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I’m already walking, feeding, and loving on my two dogs every day. Adding extra walks, playtime, and check-ins for your pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I enjoy being active, so heading out for walks or hikes is something I look forward to, not something I “squeeze in.” Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make pet care a priority and keep a flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their people.

I like to know as much as possible about your pet before we start working together. Aspects such as their daily routines, eating habits, quirks, and personality are all helpful. If your pet has any medical needs, anxieties, triggers, or training cues, please share those too. The more I know, the more I can keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
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.
