WFH Cat Enthusiast
Pet care experience
TLDR: I am animal-obsessed and will take good care of your babies! I am located in Central Lawrenceville and work from home. I am a cat-mom to Galax (9) and Zuzu (5) and have cared for many cats and dogs through Rover over the past two years. I also have experience watching friends dogs and cats over the past 9 years, and worked at a doggy day care for a short time where I helped care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and abilities. Now, I work from home which gives my cats and I time to bond and play. I am also able to notice any slight change in behavior, which is crucial to being a cat owner as most cats hide sickness very well. I look forward to giving your babies attention and caring for them while you're away and fully understand that it can be nerve-wracking to leave them. Ultimately, it's my goal to understand your pets boundaries and provide the best care possible given their needs.

Reviews


Samantha was a great pet sitter for our trip out of town! We got lots of pictures and tons of updates (which I requested lol)! Can’t recommend enough! Thank you


Samantha is great- very communicative, professional and caring! She sent great updates and a lot of photos, which put my mind at ease while traveling. Highly recommended!

Samantha is FANTASTIC!!! Our golden retriever, Sadie, absolutely adored her and we trust her entirely. Such great communication and so many photos. We can’t wait to have her back over soon!!


Samantha was great and very easy to communicate with! She was very patient with my shy cat which was much appreciated.
About Samantha R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am particular with who cares for my cats when I am out of town, and expect the people who I will Rover for to be the same way. I always walk the caretakers through detailed instructions of how the cats should be cared for and emphasize that they need much more than just someone to feed them. I also understand that every animal is different and it’s important to respect their boundaries.
Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your animals demeanor, habits and quirks. I also would like to know how your animal acts around other animals and humans, especially if it is your dog that I am taking on walks.
A typical day
I'll take the lead from you and your cats - if they like to play, we will play as long as they want after they're fed and their litter is taken care of! I'll take your dog wherever you're comfortable with us going! We can hang out at your house, or go on nice long walks around beautiful Pittsburgh. I love to explore and be outside.
Services

Availability
