Hi! My name is Sami and I've been a devoted dog and cat lover since I can remember. My family is dedicated to adopting and caring for local shelter animals. I've been inspired to start providing care through Rover after helping family members and friends watch their beloved furry family members when they're out of town. I'm a full time employed grad student in the UW MSW program and am looking to provide safe care for your pets while you're away on vacation and can send you regular updates so that you can enjoy your time away, care free. **A special note for cat parents: I have a special place in my heart for cats and have a lot of experience taking care of them.
