I have about 3+ years experience with watching / taking care of dogs. I’ve had my fair share of experiences knowing what they can and can’t eat and what questions to ask regarding a dogs diet. I have experience staying over night with dogs (at my place or theirs), going over to their place and taking care of them for a few hours, and of course walking dogs. I’ve had experience taking care of older dogs, about 13+ years old, and younger ones, roughly 4-5 years old.

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my parents so I probably wouldn’t be bring the dog home too often, but I’m pretty active and would take dogs on walks throughout the day. At a clients place, I like to chase them around for a bit at times and play around with them occasionally. I have a lot of energy so I have no problem with younger dogs.

Samuel was amazing with my girl, Pickle. He was super quick to respond, sent great photos, and clearly took care of her like she was his own dog.

We can’t say enough great things about Samuel! He cared for all four of our pack like a pro. We got plenty of check ins, he was incredibly communicative, and everyone loved him (even our skidish eleven year old cat). We’ll definitely be knocking on his door again!

My dog is very anxious and is particularly leery of men. Samuel’s calm demeanor and caring nature made her time with him very pleasant. I will definitely use him again.

Samuel's responsive, asks questions, and sends lots of pics - all things that make for a great pet & house sitter! He plays with cat and is careful to not let him escape. Samuel's also gentle with my elderly corgi and gives both of my fur babies lots of love and attention.

Samuel communicated well and sent pics. I got home from my trip to pets who looked well-loved and a home that was tidy. I’ll be reaching out to Samuel whenever my husband & I take our next trip!

I am currently working on a thesis for graduate school and my schedule is rather flexible. I have time most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to take care or watch over dogs. I am also able to dog sit at the owners place if need be.

not too much to say here. there aren’t too many circumstances where I wouldn’t be able to care for your pets. I haven’t watched any pets younger than like 7 months, and neither have I had to care for a pet that needed medicine that wasn’t oral or cream-based.
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.
