About: Hi, I'm Samantha! I was born and raised in the Marblehead and Port Clinton area and have spent my life around animals. I'm the proud owner of two dogs—Remy, my Husky, and Rayla, my Dalmatian—who fuel my passion for providing exceptional care to every dog I meet. With over 10 years of experience working with and around dogs, I have cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I also own and operate Puckett's Pups, a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Marblehead. Through my experience, I've learned that while many dogs enjoy a facility setting, some are happiest and most comfortable in their own home environment. That's why I joined Rover—to provide a safe, seamless, and personalized experience for dogs who may not do well in a traditional boarding facility or simply prefer the comfort of their own surroundings. Whether your pup needs drop-in visits, overnight care, or companionship while you're away, I am committed to maintaining their routine and providing the love, attention, and care they deserve. As a lifelong local resident and experienced dog care professional, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! While I primarily provide weekend care, I have a pretty flexible schedule while running my own business and can drop in / do walks during the week as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and ensure each pet receives individualized attention, affection, and care. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away. With over 10 years of experience working with dogs and as the owner of Puckett's Pups in Marblehead, I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was in middle school. I love all animals, whether they are super playful or super cuddly. While I have a soft spot for larger dogs having a German Shepherd & a Husky, I also enjoy the playful energy of small dogs & cats :) I have a full time job, I mostly work until about 4pm and am willing to dedicate the rest of my day to hanging out with your pets! My job is also very flexible and I am willing to adjust my schedule for longer stays (more than a week). I’m open to crate trained and free roaming pets. I do prefer to use a leash when going on walks to ensure the safety of your pet.
About: I have cared for my own animals since I was 7 years old! I know how Important your furry family mean to you,so why not have someone that loves and cares for animals just as much! I have a 2 year old blue heeler mixed, pitbul, and 3 wonderful cats! So no dog or cat is nor big or small. I love them all the same as my own. I have decided to make sitting your pets my highest priority and have officially made pet sitting a full time job I am available anytime of the day! I am very confident with kenneling a dog as I have to with mine! Love to give lots of cuddles for those who may need that extra attention!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
