Pet care experience

Every dog I meet, I get along with!

I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care!

Safety, trust & environment

When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!

Samuel did a fantastic job watching our dog who is both quite reactive and recovering from ACL surgery. We already rebooked him for next month and highly recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind while they’re away from their fur baby.

Sam worked at my kennel a few years ago. You can tell he truly loves animals and will treat yours like they’re his own. He is knowledgeable on dogs and that help make walks and playtime more fun. I would recommend Sam for any dog sitting jobs.

Sam has a calming effect on all of our animals. Sam takes special care and patience with our dogs, and they shower him with snuggles and tail wags. Sam has had several years of experience working with dogs and just seems to be able to read their energy well. I would trust Sam with my animals over taking them to a pet sitter or some other doggy daycare.

I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!!

To properly take care of your dog, I want to know their typical daily routine, any medications they need, foods they are or aren't allowed to eat, what sorts of activities they like (car rides, walks, fetch, etc.), whether they are house trained or not, if they're good on a lease or not, and any other eccentricities or information you think I'll need to know about your pet to give them the best care as possible!
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.
