Please let me know about any medications or specific care your pet requires. I have experience with most animals needs so I am happy and able to care for them as long as you give me instruction.

Sam has taken such great care of our pup Zebbie. Zebbie loves going to Samuel’s house and he is exhausted and every time he comes home after playing with the other dogs. It’s awesome! He’s also super responsive which is great. Thanks Samuel for everything!

Sam had a great home to board dogs and he knows how to manage them! He let Titus sleep in his bed which was so very nice for making him feel safe and at home! Will def rebook!

Samuel did a great job with Lucy. He sent photos and updates throughout the weekend. He is a great pet sitter and we definitely plan on using him again!

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.
