“Bradley was so great with our dogs! He took time to meet them, which was important, because Max isn’t good with strangers. He was kind to Apollo, who is old. We will definitely ask him to come again!”

About: Hi, I’m Samantha! As a military spouse, mom, and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of reliability and trust when it comes to caring for your pets. I’ve cared for many dogs over the years and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I’m happy to help. I treat every pet like part of the family and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am already a pet owner and understand the importance of consistent care, attention, and exercise. My schedule allows me to provide regular feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and make their comfort and well-being a priority. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or maintaining a pet’s established routine, I am committed to providing reliable, loving care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my top priority. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly environment, ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, and always supervise pets during walks and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so they can have peace of mind while away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide dependable, trustworthy care at all times. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve never had a pet of my own but intention, agility, compassion and fun is the heart I lead with animals as a whole. I love meeting new fur friends. I volunteer with a pet adoption program Wednesday’s & Friday’s at Pet smart. I have church Sunday morning’s until 1pm. Every other day of my week is pretty open until I am reemployed. I am actively trying to become a professional groomer. I’m working on being CPR/First Aid for cats and dogs.

I’ve never had a pet, cat or dog, but my home remains clean and well maintained. Very air sufficient as well. There is no negligence in my home. Whenever I’ve pet sat for family, I follow through with the instructions and notes given to me to treat their pets needs. Frequent updates are always made. The home is always how they left it if not better and the fur baby is well taken cared of.
About: Nothing makes me any diffrent than another animal lover. If you like animals or pets you will care for their needs as if they were another person.

I can make it to anyone's house to make sure animals is cared for. I respect everyone's rules for their own animals and everyone's property.
“Lindsey was awesome! This is the first time we've been away from our baby without being worried if she was being taken care of. The check-in's & out's and photos we're very reassuring and the love Lindsey showed to our Jolene was un-measurable! We highly recommend this young lady! We will be using her services again! ❤”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I got my Stella in 2020. Shortly after, I also got Charlie, and more recently I got Bagel. I love to take them on walks, to the dog park, and treat them to pup-cups. On occasion, I have also helped out with babysitting puppies and dogs for family friends. I love any dogs, big or small. I’m currently a full time student in university, but I can still make plenty of time to play with your pups! If I can make time for my dogs, it’s no problem with yours. I enjoy every new experience I’m offered to care for a new pet. I do my best to adapt to their routine and keep them comfortable in their environment. Whatever their normal is, I’d love to be apart of it!
About: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks !

Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will ! I can crate or take them out whenever is needed
Oakland pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jacquelyn was great with Tiger!! I loved seeing photos of him relaxing with her. I am always a worrier when I’m out of town but I felt so comfortable knowing she was there to care for him! She also brought in my mail which was a life saver as I forgot to do it on my way out of town! I will definitely be using her again for my boy :)
