Pet care experience

Guilty of baby-talking your pet 🐾

I started Rover the summer of 2020 and it has provided such a fun opportunity to love on other people’s fur babes. I can take your baby on a short walk or just hang out, relax, and give them my undivided attention if they are more mellow. I have taken care of dogs, LOTS of cats, and even a bunny!! 🐶🐱🐰 I am a very loving and caring person, so your sweet fur child will be well taken care of. I always make sure to cater to each animal’s needs and routine. From experience with my own pets, I understand the importance of keeping that routine as close as possible while you are away. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I am definitely a dog person, but have deemed myself an honorary cat mom through all the Rover cats I’ve taken care of. 95% of my drop ins are cats 💕. My sweet baby Sophie just turned 4 years old. If you have any questions, just send me a message!!

Samantha is wonderful! She’s watched our animals multiple times. We rest easy when we are out of town because we know they’re in good hands.

At least the third time I have used Samantha. My cats are very used to her by now. She is great.

Sam is great. Third time using her and I hope I can keep having her come when I need her. The cats are starting to get to know her and trust her.

This was our first booking with Rover and could not have been happier. Samanatha's communication from initial contact and throughout the booking process was exceptional. Her attention to detail reassured us that our two cats were well tended to while we traveled. She took time in advance to understand the "unique" personalities of the pets ... we have cats and cats will be cats! (ie - patches will hide under the bed ... don't take it personally :-) We highly recommend Samanatha and will book with her again in the future.
