Availability

I am a work from home professional, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Most early mornings and evenings are wide open, as well as weekends, in the comfort of your home, or on outdoor excursions to the park, beach, wherever you'd like! For boarding & daycare, you can expect your pup to get plenty of attention since I am home all day!

Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet

Proof of current vaccinations, pet's temperment (excitable, calm, skittish, etc), if they get along with other pets. Any special needs, food sensitivities, or extra care needs. I'm sorry I cannot accept pitbulls for boarding or daycare at this time. Still open to drop-ins and walks ❤️

A typical day

Whatever you'd like! More shy pups can just relax at home or in the yard. More energetic or outgoing pups might like to go on car rides, trips to the park, hiking, to the beach, wherever you, the doggy-parent, would like!

Pet care experience

Biology graduate with prior 5 years experince in the veterinary field (technician, aka "dog nurse"), you can rest assured your pup is in good hands. I've had dogs my whole life and love a good snuggle (a little fur just adds to an outfit, am I right?) Experience with basic training methods, breed requirements, and I am quite comfortable with any medications or other medical needs your pup might have.

Our Lulu was so comfortable and happy with Samantha and Cobie! We received daily updates, so could relax on our vacation knowing she was well-cared for. Highly recommended!

My two dogs had a lovely time and Samantha was wonderful at communicating with me during their stay. Will definitely be using her services again.

I had a great experience with Samantha. She was incredibly reliable and took the time to play with and walk my high-energy dog. It was clear my pup was well cared for and really liked her. I’d definitely book with her again!

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.
