Pet care experience

Loving & Skilled Pet Care Pro

I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, from working at two boarding facilities and a doggie daycare—one of which also boarded cats—to pet-sitting for friends. I’ve handled dogs of all temperaments, including those with more challenging behaviors, and have experience caring for cats as well. Having had a few dogs, cats and even ferrets of my own, I understand how important it is to give pets the attention, care, and enrichment they need. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or a cozy check-in, I’ll treat your pets like my own!

Freya came back so sleepy and tired from a great walk. Samantha brought her a treat and was very sweet picking her up

Dog Walking • Jun 04, 2026

Samantha has been walking my large reactive dog for quite awhile. During which she worked with him and me on leash manners and dog reactivity. It has helped tremendously and made it much more accessible and less stressful for me to take Bic on walks. We are so grateful for Samantha's support and to have someone who feels safe in my home and with my pets. Thanks so much Samantha!

Samantha is my go-to sitter for my cat—she sends lots of pictures, writes detailed updates, and provides quality playtime. She makes it possible for me to travel and feel certain that my kitty is ok at home.

Schedule

My role as a restaurant General Manager means I thrive on structure, reliability, and clear communication—qualities I bring directly to caring for your pets. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate early morning, mid-day, and late-night walks or check-ins. On Friday and Saturday nights, I have set on-site restaurant obligations, but I am always able to stop by directly after my shift for a late-night check-in. Whether it’s a mid-day potty break, a regular evening stroll, or overnight care, I will work diligently around my routine to ensure your pets get the exact exercise, attention, and comfort they need!

Details on any current or previous health issues is always good to know as well as food restrictions and or allergies. Any previous interaction that went poor with animals or humans, resource guarding, reactivity, if they do not like men or women and any other particular behavior: it can be cute behaviors too!!
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.
