Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with crate and rotate, and escapees. The importance of watching dogs body language and vocal cues. Cats have similar expressions. Not all are free spirited and wish to be more reserved, I try to accommodate each personality as much as possible. I completed my dog training certification through ABC. Which has given me Cpr certification, as well as hands on work with training a wide variation of dogs at two separate facilities located in the local ICT area. My environment goal is to be as calm as possible with the opportunity to play and rough house as your pet desires. I do not have harsh chemicals in the home or accessible to pets. I sanitize after every guest stays. As well as regular deep cleans.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

If your pup has not met me it is preferred to meet In advance to help build positive association with a drop in person, to prevent house guarding. Location where the pet is going to be when dropping in and if any traits of escaping or evading coming In ( like huskies enjoying the cold )

A typical day

I let the dogs go potty before any play time happens. If they love to fetch, or just get snuggles either is an option for them. We go on walks.

A lifesaver! Samantha took Roxy last minute for four nights. She provided updates with pictures and videos daily and was very patient with Roxy who can be a little shy. Would give 10 stars if I could. Will absolutely book again!

Samantha was amazing! She kept me updated with photos and videos the entire weekend. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit that my dog Sammy really took to. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.

Samantha was absolutely perfect for us and our doggo, Ziggy. She was consistent with the updates and super friendly to interact with. She went above and bey9nd our expectations. This was the first time we ever used a sitter, let alone Rover. Overall a wonderful and easy experience.

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.
