Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Engaged, enriching care from my home to yours. I share my space with a laid-back black cat and a high-energy Border Collie, so I understand the full spectrum of pet personalities. My dog enjoys daily 2–3 mile walk/runs or 30-minute dog park sessions, and I regularly create cognitive toys and puzzles to keep him mentally stimulated. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, customized care that meets each pet’s physical and emotional needs.

Sam was wonderful as always. I know Dany is in good hands with her. I was especially thankful to Sam who was super flexible in helping me out when my flights were cancelled and I couldn’t get home. In a super stressful situation, knowing my puppy was fully taken care of was a HUGE load off.

Samantha took great care of my cat while I was gone for the weekend. She was also very accommodating with any changes I requested. Great experience for both me and my cat!

Very nice and responsible young lady! Super sweet with my dog who needs some extra TLC while he recovers from surgery, which I really appreciate! Someone else didn’t want to give him routine care like basic PT exercises or meds during check ins. Glad we got Samantha, who is great.

We finally found a dog sitter! After at least 6 dog sitters, Samantha is a keeper! She was the only one that could give our dog injections, walk an extremely stubborn dog and to complete the visits during the times we asked. Her communications with us were perfect. Amazing! Thank you!

Schedule

Reliable care that fits your schedule. I’m a scientific grant writer with a hybrid job that gives me flexible hours and the ability to work from home when needed. This means I can be available for your pet when it matters most, whether it’s a midday visit or a last-minute request.

What’s their daily routine like — feeding times, potty breaks, and favorite activities? Do they have any medical needs or medications I should be aware of? How do they typically react to new people, loud noises, or other animals? For dogs, I’d like to know their leash behavior and energy level so I can tailor walks or playtime. For cats, it helps to know where they like to hide, how they prefer to be approached, and what kind of toys they enjoy. The more I know, the better I can make each visit feel just like home.
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.
