This is our second time using Samantha. She does a great job of communicating and everything was ok when we returned home. The pets were alone a lot more than I had anticipated, and my dog and cat sat in the window watching for us everyday and into the night… so heartbreaking…. It was ok but not incredibly comforting.

Samantha made sure our puppy girls were well taken care of and spoiled. We scheduled at home boarding and Samantha left our home very clean. I would schedule Samantha again!!!!

Samantha was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and was respectful. My furry family was very happy and calm when we returned home because she spent time with them. Super grateful and would definitely rebook with her.

Samantha is awesome! This is the second time we asked her to watch our Daisy at the house. Samantha is excellent about communication, and I know our Daisy just loves her. She doesn’t just take care of basic needs; she truly bonds with your pet. She also does a great job of being respectful of our house. We highly recommend booking her.

Samantha was awesome! She responded quickly to my request for a sitter, and remained responsive throughout the time with our dog, sending frequent pictures to let us know how she was doing. Her calm demeanor was immediately apparent when she walked into our house for our “meet and greet,” which made me feel at ease since it was our first time using Rover. She answered all of our questions, and was professional and caring throughout the time she was with our dog. When we returned home, the house was clean, and our dog was happy. I would definitely request Samantha again.

Safety, trust & environment

Creating a safe, welcoming, and loving environment is the #1 priority for clients and their pets. To ensure the pets are comfortable along with my clients - I offer meet and greets prior to confirming booking. This will allow the pets and their owners to get acquainted with each other and ensure compatibility. It's a crucial step in building trust and ensuring a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.

Pets

A typical day

As a dog mom, i love creating new experiences with my pup and figuring out what activities or interactions make my pet feel best. Some activities I like to include my pet in are fun little drives, walks around the neighborhood, play time, interactions at the dog park, self-care time (baths, cuddles, taking them to a groomer, etc.) and overall maintaining the well-being of the dog. I am also very good about following routines dogs may have in place and ensuring their plans are being followed thoroughly.

Having some background on the breed/pet is essential in maintaining and fulfilling the expectations of the pets needs. if there any specific behaviors, special needs, disabilities, or concerns i should be aware of, I’d prefer to know about them prior to scheduling to avoid any unexpected challenges or misunderstandings during the pet’s care. This ensures that I can provide the best possible care tailored to the individual needs of each pet, promoting a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
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.
