Bringing joy and care to your pets!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a devoted animal lover for as long as I can remember, growing up with four dogs and three cats in my childhood home. Since moving out, I miss the joy of having pets around (my apartment has a no-pet policy), so I’m excited to bring my love for animals to your furry friends! I also have experience caring for senior animals, as every one of my pets have lived well into their teens. I’ve gained valuable experience caring for friends’ and family’s cats and dogs while they were away, and I’m eager to continue providing that same reliable and affectionate care to pets in my community. Whether it’s a daily dog walk, an overnight stay, or just a quick check-in, I’m here to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve.

Samantha was excellent! She took great care of Bandit, including getting him to take his meds. Followed our routine — including dog walks to feeding routines — and was the perfect “house guest” as well. He’s accustomed to having company and she was able to spend lots of time with him and sleep overnight. Thank you, Samantha!

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.
