Dogs are really great people.
Pet care experience
I am a person who was born into a family with an AMAZING dog, who taught me to love him and the rest of the dogs in the world. I have since owned 2 other dogs, currently own 2 cats, and raised or cared for a plethora of other animals including chickens, guinea pigs, turkeys, goats, rabbits and even a scorpion. I have always been fascinated with animals and adored them, and will take every bit as good care of your animals as I have done for mine. I provide complete care as well as having a good understanding of animal behavior and health. I am CPR certified for dogs and cats, and will bathe or do minor groomings as well as pickup! I somewhat frequently travel, however I will always give a large margin of notice if a booking is needed while gone and can assist finding another sitter as well!
Reviews
Samuel did a great job staying over at our house! He clearly loves animals of all kinds and asked good questions to ensure he knew how to best take care of them. During his stay, he was communicative and let me know not only what was going on with my animals, but what what going on around the house (e.g. a windstorm). My dog, cat, and chickens were all well taken care of and I couldn't even tell Samuel had been in the house when we got back. I recommend him for home stays!
Samuel was great! He helped us out with a last-minute request and watched our dog Bentley for a few days, who needed frequent bathroom breaks. He was responsive and left our home in great shape, and I came home to a happy pup.
Samuel took exceptional care of our three needy dogs and cat. He followed all of our instructions excellently and made sure that the pets were happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans were away. He also left our home in immaculate shape. We would not hesitate to use him again for future needs.
As a first time Rover user I did my due diligence when finding a sitter for my house and dogs. Samuel's reviews were stellar and he had a lot of repeat customers. After booking Samuel for a one night house/dog sitting service, I arrived home to find windows open (it was actively raining), all three doors unlocked, lights left on, key missing, and a number of other issues. To me this was unacceptable. When I text with Samuel he said he hoped I would forgive his absentmindedness. For me, this was more than absentmindedness, this was thoughtlessness for my property and possessions. I would have forgiven one door left unlocked, but to have every door unlocked was unforgivable. I had met Samuel prior to booking as suggested. He seemed to be concerned about the dogs and understood their feeding and snack times. I was looking forward to having a sitter I could trust. I cannot recommend Samuel based on my experience, nor would I ever have him back.

Any patterns in behavior. The 'norms' so that we can tell when things are suspicious. Also any history of aggression. allergies, interactions with other animals and dogs, and any other health concerns that may come into play.
A typical day
Parks, Streets, Dog Parks, anywhere a dog might feel stimulated and also is allowed :D I love to do whatever the dog's preferred activity is or level is. We can go for a jog, or we could Netflix and chill. I just like the company.
