Pet care experience

Professional Animal Cuddler

Hi there! I’m Samantha, a caring and dependable pet lover who knows how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I’ve had pets my entire life and have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities — from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts — and I treat each one as if they were my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime at the park, or quiet cuddle time at home, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m attentive to routines, great with special instructions, and always happy to send photo updates so you can relax while you’re away.

Samantha has watched our large dog twice now and we will continue to book with her as long as she is available. She sends us updates, pictures, and videos. Our dog is very comfortable in her home and gets lots of play time…he comes home happy and worn out from all the fun he had!

Samantha took care of Trapper like he was one of her own! Trapper was very well cared for, given lots of attention and love, and was very happy to stay with her. She kept us informed, sent pictures and videos of him, and was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely use her in the future!

Samantha was amazing with our elderly dog. Very patient and understanding on his "old man" needs. She is great with communication and quick to respond/reply. I highly recommend her!

It is good to know if there are any special needs, like medication. Also good to know schedules and times they are used to being fed.
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.
