Love! Love! Love!!!!!!! Samantha! She is so incredibly kind and gentle with our girls. In fact, our rather timid mama does VERY well with Sam, which gives us such peace of mind and settles our hearts while we’re away. We absolutely love the relaxed atmosphere in her home, and Sam herself has such a calm, easygoing demeanor. You honestly can’t help but feel “chill” around her—and our girls clearly feel it, too! Knowing they are comfortable, loved, and well cared for means everything to us. We would wholeheartedly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter, whether it’s for a day, a week, or even longer. We’re so thankful we found her! ❤️🐾

Samantha took great care of our girl. She was happy and well adjusted when we picked her up. Hoping we will be able to use her services again !

My girls seem to have taken to Samantha and her family. There’s no anxiety on drop off and even seem happy to see their sitter-family. So glad to have found Samantha!!!

This was our first time using Rover, and we had a wonderful experience. Poppy and Iris came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She was communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about our dogs. We appreciated the updates during their stay and would definitely trust her with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our pups!

My dogs seemed comfortable quickly. She was very patient with the one that was anxious during fireworks. We got daily updates too. We’re so happy to have someone who can keep our girls safe & happy when we can’t take them with us on trips.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog door for their bathroom convenience, a fenced yard with grass and plenty of shade. security cameras in doors and out side of my home. Living in a quiet safe neighborhood on the west side of Idaho Falls. I have a couple sizes of crates if needed but I will do what's most comfortable and familiar for your pets. Usually I prefer if they love to snuggle in my bed at night.

Pets

A typical day

We usually hang out at home but if the weather is nice we go for walks and love to play outside in the back yard! We have plenty of toys and frisbees. It's important to me to stick to your dogs routine so they are comfortable and feel safe in my home.
