House Sitting • Nov. 29, 2025

Sitter ended stay 4 hours early and would not respond to my texts trying to confirm she would be back to let my dogs out one more time. I had to cut my trip short and come home early as I received no reply from her until I contacted Rover support when I got home (she was always quick to reply to my texts before, so I know she got the messages). To make matters worse, my front door was left open and the freezer door was wide open, leaving many things thawed. Really disappointed.

Sami has been a saint in the past when it came to caring for my cats. She watched them for over a week while I was moving apartments. She kept me updated and provided lots of photos and videos of them. My originally terrified cats soon found themselves exploring and spending lots of time soliciting attention. I know Sami would watch them again in a heartbeat if needed, and I know they would be well taken care of. If you’re looking for someone who can give you peace of mind and take the best care of your pets in your absence, then you’ve found your person.

Samantha takes excellent care of my two dogs when I’m out of town. Last time she had them for about 2 weeks and they were happy girls when I picked them up. One of our girls is on a twice daily medication and those were given as directed. Their needs weren’t just met, Sami exceeded in making them feel loved and part of her home. Discipline is also important to make them listen and Sami has a gentle way of saying “thank you, but no thank you,” in a way my pups understood. They respect her but have no fear of coming to stay with her in fact they are always happy and excited to see her when she visits them or when they stay with her. This lady’s focus in life seems to be her ability to calm and love animals and I cannot gush over her enough. She is extremely responsible and will treat your babies with love and care just like she does for our girls every time she’s sat with them or had them stay with her!

Sami is an incredible and compassionate caretaker for all animals! She is always timely, respectful, kind, and highly dependable. Whether you need someone to look after your fur baby while you're away or just need a quick check-in in a pinch, Sami is absolutely phenomenal. You can trust her to provide loving, attentive care every time. Don’t hesitate—book her now for all your pet care needs. You won’t regret it!

Pets

A typical day

Each day starts with chews, toys, laser, and lots of cuddles. After my lunch, we all pack in the car and head to Vicary Bottoms, an off leash dog park, to live our best lives (dogs that run away to never return and/or follow their noses stay leashed). After park time we return for treats, a dog movie/show, and nap time! Most pups stay napping until they get picked up ❤️
