Big yard, active & comfy!

Hi! I’m Samira (Sam), and I provide a safe, loving, and active home for dogs while their owners are away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pup gets plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. They’ll go on 3-4 walks a day, and I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates! I will never have more than three dogs ever at one time. I’m doing rover because I genuinely like dogs, have a slow job and the money I make goes toward my student loan 🙂. We have a large fenced outdoor area, and daily walks, playtime, enrichment activities and exercise are part of our routine. I have a sweet 3-year-old Australian Shepherd named Sailor, who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He loves other dogs and people and is always excited to have a new friend around! I also have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playing fetch or prefers lounging on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away.

Sam was awesome! Very easy to communicate with, and took great care of our big guy. They have a great outdoor space, an active routine, and her dog got along great with ours.

Samira took incredible care of my dog, Tim and was an excellent communicator! Tim came home tired and happy. I would definitely want Tim to stay with Samira again.

Our dogs had a great time with Sam!!! Our younger dog had a blast playing with her dog Sailor, a very well behaved, sweet natured boy. Our older dog enjoyed relaxing in the sun on their beautiful, very large, fully fenced patio off their condo (with full access to the inside when he wanted to cool off). Sam and her boyfriend work from home and walked the dogs frequently - we really liked that the dogs had a combo of play and also walks around the neighborhood and parks. Sam was very conscientious about their routines, medications, and regular updates to us with adorable videos and photos. They clearly grew attached to her as they kept returning to her side for pats when we were saying goodbye!!! ❤️😊

Samira is a very conscientious dog-owner and Sailor is very good natured. I am very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He gets a lot more attention, companionship, exercise and affection at Samira's than at a dog boarding facility.

Samira has watched my dog Mocha several times. She is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind and loving towards my dog. I never feel stressed or have to worry about anything when leaving her with Samira. She has a beautiful secure patio with plenty of space for the dogs to run around. Her dog Sailor is super sweet and gets along with every dog. Samira is very active and my high energy dog gets plenty of exercise with her. I highly recommend anyone looking for dog care in the city to reach out to her.

We own a Plot Hound that needed to be housed for the weekend. Seamus became instant friends with Samira's dog Sailor. The fact that we could leave him in a home with a person, another dog to play with, and 24 hour access to an outdoor space made our mini-trip stress free, as we knew our fur baby was in good hands. -Kris and Kevin

Schedule

I have a very flexible work schedule during the week, which allows me to provide frequent dog walks and potty breaks. I also currently have an active dog, so caring for another animal is easy for me since I already follow a consistent routine with him.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the instructions you leave me and take that seriously. Reactive dogs are not a good match for me, I’m so sorry, and they must get along with my dog. Let’s link up and have the pups meet and go over your dog needs!

My dog gets along with all dogs. I can manage a little resource guarding but I don’t want your dog or mine to be on edge if they don’t get along.
