Pet care experience

Long walks, playtime & zoomies 🐶💨

With 3+ years of dog care experience, I’m used to full time responsibilities, feeding schedules, long walks, play sessions, and regular park trips. I previously owned a Border Collie–Lab mix, which taught me how to keep smart, active dogs challenged and happy. Whether it’s exercise, mental stimulation, or just companionship, I make sure each dog gets exactly what they need.

Samantha was an amazing sitter and I will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough! She was extremely attentive, caring and highly knowledgeable about puppies. Great communication, plus she left our place extremely clean.

My experience with Samantha and Will was good. Communication was clear, prompt and made logistics easy and gave me peace of mind about how Mia was doing. They took good care of Mia and I'd definitely recommend them and use them again!

Samantha took great care of Aurelia! She was very communicative and sent frequent photos. She made sure to understand and stick to all of Aurelia's routines. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Samantha and William are great! They were wonderful with our old dog (who can be a little quirky). They sent pictures and updates while we were gone for a week. I would highly recommend!

Great experience! Communication was excellent and we received daily updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. They did a wonderful job sticking to Lumi’s usual routine, and it really showed—she came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I’m currently working remotely from home on weekdays and no major commitments on weekends, which gives me a lot of flexibility to dedicate consistent attention to the dogs in my care. I can easily step away for walks, play breaks, potty outings, and one-on-one engagement throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog-friendly community in my apartment area, with lots of grass and dog-waste stations nearby. The space is quiet and calm, reducing stress for pets.

A typical day

I enjoy doing whatever keeps each pet excited and engaged. That includes long walks, park visits, tug-of-war, fetch, training games, and fun mental challenges to keep their minds sharp. If they prefer a calmer day, I’ll focus on relaxing playtime, brushing, or just keeping them company.

Before any booking, I like to learn about feeding schedules, walking routines, play style, comfort items, and any behavioral quirks or health notes. Knowing these things ahead of time helps me give consistent and attentive care.
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.
