Samantha made my pups feel so comfortable. Even after I’m back they go to check her room to see if she’s around. Makes me feel confident they are happy and well loved while I’m away.

Sam was GREAT! They did a wonderful job of taking care of our pups Peach and Pearl. They were extremely responsive and sent pictures/messages twice a day! They were also amazing for being willing to extend the stay due to events that resulted in us not being able to leave Mexico. Overall, would book again!!

Sam house sat for me and was great with Teddy. She provided lots of pup-dates, and communication was very good. Would book with Samantha again.

Samantha is wonderful! She was incredibly prompt, quick to confirm our booking, and always followed my instructions perfectly. My dogs loved the long, generous walks she provided—highly recommend her!

It would be helpful to know any special needs the dog has as well as any special requests you have for me ahead of time.
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.
