Pet care experience

I’m a certified teacher in the state of Florida that currently teaches college online full-time. I have a BA in English, MA in Educational Leadership and I am a doctoral student. I am active in our community and passionate about animals. I have a large fenced yard, no children. My neighborhood is quiet and pedestrian friendly. Because I work online and am completing a doctorate, I am rarely out of the house. I have a 15 lb., 1 year old mixed breed dog, Poppy, that I adopted from Paws Crossed in October of 2019. Poppy is very sweet, playful, passive, and gentle. She gets along with dogs of all sizes. Prior to Poppy I had a black Labrador for 13 years. She passed in March 2018 so that’s why I started working with Rover. I love dogs! I’m used to caring for dogs from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience with insulin dependent pups and deaf dogs. I love chihuahuas to mastiffs. I have been constantly dog sitting for family and friends since my beloved dog passed away. Now that I adopted Poppy my regular clients have had a chance to become good friends with my new girl. I promise your dog will get the very best love, attention, care, and endless fun!

Samantha was amazing to work with and I will continue to use her whenever needed! She made me feel comfortable leaving Swayze for many days. I received lots of fun pictures of Swayze and Poppy having fun. Thank you for everything Samantha, Poppy and Justin!!!

Samantha was great, one of the best rover experiences I've had. You can tell she loves dogs. Definitely will be going back in the future.

Samantha was amazing with our sweet 4-year-old rat terrier, Krissy. She met extensively my husband and me, and allowed several visits (complementary) before Krissy's 5-day stay. We could not be happier. Samantha sent us pictures and updates at least once per day. It was so apparent that Krissy loved spending time in the home and was well cared for. Samantha clearly loves caring for dogs. She provides for basic needs along with lots of positive interactions, and is very responsible. We recommend her without reservation.
