I cannot say enough good things about Samantha! She took care of my dog this past weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. Before booking, she let me visit her home so I could see everything and meet her, which gave me total peace of mind since it was my dog's first time staying there. Throughout the weekend, Samantha was incredibly responsible and always available. She sent me daily photos and videos, which I loved receiving. Her home has a great fenced-in patio where my dog could safely play and go to the bathroom. Samantha and her family truly showered my pup with love, playtime, and cuddles. My dog was so happy staying with them, and I will definitely be using her services again!

Wow! Words cannot say how wonderful Samantha and her family were in taking care of our baby. Constant communication, photos and updates were so appreciate. Our baby came back happy and I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you thank you!!

Samantha and her family made our puppy feel like part of their family while she stayed with them. Samantha sent me pictures and updates everyday! This was our first time leaving our puppy at a different home and we are so happy we found Samantha. ❤️

Samantha is the first sitter I’ve found on Rover that felt like I was just bringing him to a family friend’s home where he would be treated just like he is at his own home. Communication was above and beyond. I’m so glad I found her and I think my pup won’t be sad the next time we have to leave! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my sweet boy! I’ll definitely be rebooking next time!
