Pet care experience
Loving Care When You’re Not There
I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I recently cared for my own pup throughout her 13 wonderful years of life, which taught me how important patience, love, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I also help care for my brother’s dogs a Golden Retriever/Lab mix and two Dachshunds so I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds. Being from Monterey County, I love staying active and going on walks and hikes, so your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care with me!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide feedings, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention based on each pet’s needs and personality. I’m also very respectful of my client’s home and always aim to create a stress free experience for both pets and owners.
Ratings and reviews
We love Samantha! She's a wonderful dog sitter. We had to go out of town in the wee-hours in the morning for an important trip & couldn't take our puppy, JD with us. After searching on Rover we found Samantha and decided to hire her. She agreed to look after JD despite the last minute notice and the early hours we had to drop him off with her and for this alone we are grateful but we were still full of worries because it was JD's 1st time being cared for by anyone other than us. Our worries soon disappeared as Samantha kept us updated with live pictures of JD and texts throughout the day. JD looked absolutely at ease and enjoying his time under Samantha care her - the car ride, the walk, the nap on sofa, etc. We will definitely trust Samantha with JD again. Thank you for giving us a great 1st time dog day care experience!
Samantha goes above and beyond making sure our dog was comfortable . She is super patient and very professional . We felt super at ease knowing our dog would be in her hands .
There’s only a few people who I would trust with the care of my fur baby. Sam is very sweet and ensures my Kiki is well taken care of. She enjoys her walks and treats as well as the company. She’s grown very fond of Sam and I appreciate her so much. Life can get busy as a full time mom/ pet owner and so knowing your pets are in good hands makes you have the peace of mind you very much need when working a hectic work schedule. She’s close by our home which is also quite convenient, give her a try, you won’t be disappointed!
Sam is incredible with dogs! It’s like she has a secret language with them, they absolutely love her. She has cared for her beloved dogs Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn for their entire lives and I’ve never seen anybody have so much love for their pets. Honestly, they were more like family for her, an extension. I would wholeheartedly trust Sam for your pets care! You won’t find someone else more honest and responsible.
Walking a Belgian Malinois and a golden retriever is no easy task but Samantha handled both of them perfectly and we love using her! She genuinely loves these guys and are always so excited when its their walking time!
Sam was/is great at walking our two fur babies. We can’t always dedicate our time to them and give them proper walks. That’s when Sam comes in and saves the day. Penny and Oliver get so excited finding out Sam is taking them on a walk. Can’t recommend her enough.

Schedule
I work full time as a supervisor at Starbucks, so my schedule varies and stays pretty flexible throughout the week. I’m available at different times on different days, which allows me to fit pet care naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or spending quality time with your pets, I’m happy to work around their needs!
