About: I’ve had a Golden Retriever and have also looked after my friends’ dogs and cats. Right now, I have a cat named Peachy. I just really love spending time with pets and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure pets feel comfortable and loved. Plus, I’m pretty sure Peachy the cat thinks I’m his favorite human (but don’t tell the others!). I'm currently working part-time and I am available all days except Mon and Thu in August. I can come any time just tell me when you need to leave I can't host your pet at my house for now. When I come to the client's house, I make sure I know everything about pet's care, and I do everything to make them happy
“I am a new Rover user and was nervous about entrusting my 8-month-old puppy to someone I didn't know. But Samantha exceeded expectations in many ways! She clearly loves dogs and was excited to meet my Yogi. She gave him a wonderful walk, made sure he had plenty of water, and even adjusted her schedule to meet our preferred timeline. Yogi was happy as a clam when we got home, and we are thrilled that we now have a reliable sitter to call for future needs.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between—both in my own home and as a volunteer at animal shelters. I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique personality, whether it’s energetic puppies and kittens who crave playtime or senior pets who enjoy gentle cuddles and slow strolls. I’m especially skilled at building trust with shy or anxious animals through calm, patient care and plenty of positive reinforcement. I also love being outdoors and would be happy to take your pet along for a jog or relaxing stroll. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and provide personalized attention, loving care, and total peace of mind! I have a flexible work schedule where I only go into the office a few days a week. I update my calendar each week to show my availability for the days that I am working from home and over the weekends. I have experience caring for all ages of pets and can administer medication if needed. Please let me know if you have any particular care requests. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am very communicative and will send photos and messages to keep you updated throughout the day. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
About: We have a loving home filled with animal lovers who would love to welcome your doggy into our care. We have a fenced-in yard where your pet will run free and chase a ball or frisbee. Your dog will receive much one-on-one attention, snuggles, and playtime. Daily off-leash hikes are included in the price if you're comfortable! I'm a yoga teacher, so I am home most of the day. My husband works from home and loves dogs and cats. Your dog or cat will have tons of attention and be well cared for. I love to go for walks in the land trusts and parks! We always bring water and treats on our walks. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and recognize what a valuable part of the family they are. We offer boarding or daycare and only accept 2 dogs at a time to ensure they get the attention and care they need. We are not quite ready to commit to getting a dog full-time as we are waiting until our youngest is 5, so this is a great way to have a furry friend in our home for now. We look forward to meeting you!! I am a yoga teacher and mother of three. My family and I love animals and have boarded in the past. We took a break when my twins were babies, but now that they are older, we are excited to welcome pets into our home. I am home quite a bit as I have a very flexible schedule. I love to go for walks and would always take your dog with me if that's what they like to do. If they prefer the couch, they are welcome to get cozy and hang out. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat. We have a safe and loving home for your furry baby. We provide lots of play, cuddles, and frequent walks or play in the backyard.
