Loving pet care

Hello ! My name is Samantha I have personally owned more than 10 canines in my lifetime as well as cats and reptiles including snakes my first dog was my best friend he was an all black Newfoundland named Dillon we had him in the home since the day I was born, I have also owned Rottweilers , German Shepard’s, StaffordShire Terriers, bullies and cats as well (4) I like animals more than people :) most of my pets have lived about 15 years and we still have a few that we think may outlive us (probably the cats ) :) I have experience with caring for animals after surgeries also with animals who need special medications or medical equipment (ie: wheel chairs / cones / wraps and bandage treatment and changed etc and also special schedules as well. I have one animal in the home which is my ESA her name is Diamond and she’s a peach and loves to play (friendly with people/children and pets as well my son is 7 and my daughter is 10 both love animals and love playing with them :) Experience with puppies/senior dogs and dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to Great Danes :) Also have experience with reptiles from snakes to bearded dragons and birds as well parrots included

House Sitting • Jan 06, 2026

Samantha was an amazing sitter, providing me updates and photos so I can see how my two cats were doing. She even paid extra attention to my super shy cat!

Samantha was amazing with Chinx. She sent me a video of Chinx when he got there to give me assurance that Chinx was going to be ok. It was my first time booking through Rover and was not disappointed. She sent me videos and photo updates during his stay. She also messaged me because she was concerned of his breathing but I assured her it was normal for him. That really shows that she actually cares. I know he had a good time. By the time he got home, he was all out of energy and knocked out for the rest of the day. I would definitely recommend Samantha.

Samantha did a great job taking care of our French bulldog Oatie! She treated our dog like family and sent daily updates. He came home tired and happy! Thanks for watching him ?

Samantha did a great job caring for my puppy. She really took a liking to him and treated him very well. I loved that she kept me updated with pictures throughout the day. I would definitely book with her again !!

Could not be happier! Samantha was great with our giant Great Pyrenees mix, Wendy. She went above and beyond and was extremely flexible and accommodating. Samantha was attentive and great with communication - and all on short notice. Will 100% be bringing our dog(s) back to her next time.

I have 2 cats and a dog and I was going away for the Fourth of July weekend being new to the area a friend suggested Samantha to me. Samantha came to my house to meet me and tell her a little about herself I felt completely relaxed and trusting that she was the right sitter for me . She came by the house 3 times a day for me and took my baby out for her walk but that’s not all she did, on the night of the fourth there were a lot of parties and fireworks going off and Samantha noticed Mia was anxious so she can cover own plans and stayed at my house for the night to calm Mia down. I would definitely use Samantha again she is great! Very caring and trustworthy as well !
