Pet care experience

Every dog deserves a lot of love!

My family has been boarding dogs since I was 10 years old, so I grew up taking care of animals. Between the hundreds of dogs I’ve cared for, I have never met a dog, big or small, that I didn’t like. I walk, feed, and pick up after dogs every day!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to take pictures of the dogs I meet to send to the owners as a check up. I am always attentive and prioritize confirming the animal’s wellbeing above all else, whether that be waiting for the dog to eat before I leave or is cool enough in the California heat.

Sam is great! She was punctual for both the meet and greet and the scheduled walk. Sam listened very closely to all of our instructions on how to care for the dogs and the house. She's very easygoing and the dogs liked her right away. I appreciated how easy it was to be in contact with Sam and how quickly she responded. I felt like everything was in good hands and under control. Sam sent us some sweet pictures and let us know the fur kids were ok. Looking forward to booking her again.

Samantha's always on time, and is very friendly. Ace loves going for a walk with her.

My dog has become an over achiever since he started walking with Samantha. He is setting records on his pee stops, pooping automatically, and losing weight.

I would like to know if your dog is at all aggressive towards people or other dogs. Also, if they are large and hyperactive, a warning would be nice.
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.
