✨Personalized, Full-time Dog Care✨

I am a proud dog mom of 19 years and counting! I adore dogs of all sizes and find that I can better connect with others when a dog is present. I treat each dog as if it were my own and am a firm believer that dogs take care of humans just as much as we take care of them. My pup, Odin, loves making friends with dogs from all walks of life! Like owner, like dog — Odin adjusts to each dog's personality and respects their boundaries.

"We’ve had the pleasure of having Samantha care for our pet, Ember, multiple times now, and we couldn't be happier! Samantha is the ultimate pet sitter. From the moment we drop Ember off, we know she’s in great hands. She consistently provides us with updates and adorable pictures, which brings so much peace of mind during our trips. Samantha goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of, from Ember’s feeding schedule to her play time. It’s clear that she genuinely cares for the pets she sits for, and Ember absolutely loves her. Samantha is not only reliable but also truly loves animals, and it’s evident in the way she treats Ember.We will always choose Samantha as our first option for pet care, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, loving pet sitter. Thank you so much, Samantha, for your outstanding care – we truly appreciate all that you do!" You are such a blessing.

My husband & I have had dogs for the last 15 yrs & This was our 1st time ever hiring a doggy sitter. We were a bit anxious, but Samantha has put our nerves to rest! She and her pup Odin are incredible with our Eevie & you can tell she adores what she does. I receive updates with photos & videos throughout the day which brings such comfort knowing my pup is happy & enjoying herself!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 21, 2023

Benji stayed for a doggie day care with Samantha. We wanted Benji to get use to Sam, Odin, and the new surround where he’d be in case we need Sam for future stays. Sam updated us with Benji ( behavior, number of poops and pee, etc) she even brushed out Benji’s undercoat! :) Thanks Sam, Benji enjoyed his day with you and Odin!

This is our third time leaving Ember with Samantha and she has always been such a blessing. She takes such good care of Ember that it keeps our minds worry-free and at ease our entire trip. Her frequent pictures of Ember make our day and she is always texting us with updates on how Ember is doing. She takes care of every detail as she cares for our pets. Samantha will always be the first person we will go to any time we need a place for Ember and I highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Samantha for taking such good care of Ember!!! We appreciate everything you do. Cannot thank you enough :)

Schedule

I'm currently home full-time, with the exception of occasional errands! I strive to adapt to your pup's daily routine, making my home feel like an extension of yours.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
Children 0-5 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup will have its own designated indoor space during its stay! When hosting multiple pups, I introduce them gradually and always keep their boundaries in mind. Playtimes are scheduled under my supervision, provided all pups are willing. I have a fenced yard and closely supervise your pup when they are outside. I prioritize transparency and will inform you if anything appears unusual with your pup.

Pets

A typical day

My #1 goal is to make your pup feel at home! We can play fetch, hide & seek, and play with the other pups under my care if they are willing. For our walks, we'll explore my neighborhood, covering approx. 1 mile with some inclines.

1. I require Parvo, Rabies, and Bordetella vaccinations for all dogs under my care. Can you provide proof of vaccination? 2. Does your get along with other dogs? 3. Does your dog experience separation anxiety? 4. Is your dog used to being left alone? If so, how long? 5. Has your dog stayed with a sitter before? 6. What habits should I be aware of? The good and not so good (if any). I prefer knowing these in advance, rather than finding out on my own!
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
