Pet care experience

Experienced care, fun-loving!

I have always grown up with pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish…even a reptile or two!) I adopted my pup, Hurley, nearly 15 years ago and it has been one of my joys to have her in my life. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, helping you practice any training you might be working on with your pooch, dispensing medications and other care needs, as well as keeping your furry friend safe if they have any anxieties or other difficult behaviors. While I am not a trainer, I have kept up regular formal, positive reinforcement training with my dog and we’ve also taken lots of fun classes like agility and nose training—meaning I know lots of fun games to keep your pup engaged during my visit.

Samantha is everything we want in a dog sitter. She is kind, punctual, responsible, trustworthy, a good communicator and loves our little guy! We are so happy that we found her on Rover. She sends photos of Stanley and pays attention to his mood and habits. If there was a 10 star rating we would use that🐾😊

Sam took excellent care of our dogs and home while also keeping an eye on our other small creatures. You can book with confidence with Sam. Super communication! She is very easy to meet and sent us updates and pics. We came home to happy dogs! Highly recommend!

My dog LOVES Sam. She has pet-sat and walked our dog. It is clear she does an amazing job, because Sam is greeted like a family member and my dog watches her leave from the window. She is punctual, trustworthy, and I know my dog is safe and well-taken care of every time.

Please let me know if your dog has any anxieties, special needs, or other behavioral quirks, as well as how you successfully address them before my visit. Positive reinforcement techniques are highly preferred.
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.
