Pet care experience

Specialized Care | CPR Certified

I am a full-time pet care professional dedicated to high-level, low-stress care across the Valley. With roughly 27 years of experience, I am certified in Pet CPR/First Aid and Fear Free handling - prioritizing your pet’s safety and emotional well-being above all else. I specialize in dogs who thrive with a patient, expert presence: seniors, anxious pups, and high-energy breeds. Whether it’s overnight sitting or specialized drop-ins, I provide the technical skill set and consistent routine your family deserves. Message me to schedule a professional meet-and-greet.

Safety, trust & environment

Your home is a sanctuary and I treat it as such. I follow all security protocols, including double-checking locks and alarm systems, while maintaining a clean, quiet environment. My Fear Free training ensures I respect your pet's boundaries and stress signals, creating a safe space where they feel secure and understood while you are away.

Samantha was such a great sitter for our puppy Figgy! They left such detailed notes of their visit and also sent the cutest pictures of Figgy playing and sleeping. We will definitely be booking again!

Schedule

As a full-time professional, pet care is my primary focus, not a “side gig”. I maintain a flexible but structured schedule that allows for consistent routines and timely updates. My calendar is updated daily to ensure accuracy, and I prioritize building long-term relationships with families who need a dedicated, year-round partner in their pet’s care.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Samantha can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Please share any specific medical needs, dietary restrictions, or behavioral triggers. I specialize in pets who require a patient, technical approach, so knowing about their medication schedules, anxiety triggers, or mobility issues helps me provide the most precise and comfortable care possible for your family.
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.
