I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one.

“Sarai was a joy to work with! She helped me to use the Rover app and communicated with me about my dogs the whole time I was away! She also helped me out by watching my dogs an extra day that wasn't originally planned. I highly recommend her!”
“Brittnee was excellent! This was my first time using rover/allowing a new person to take care of my dogs while i was out of town. It was a last minute trip and she made time to meet my dogs and make sure it was a good fit. I sent Brittnee so much info about my dogs/my house but she is a pro and could have done it without any of that. One of my dogs is a little stand off ish with new people but she handled it like she’d done it 100 times. I would love to use her services again in the future.”

Once again, our pup had an amazing time with Samantha and we felt totally at ease! She is observant, kind, trustworthy, great with animals, and excellent at communication. We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! It’s hard to be away from your pet, but having them in Samantha’s care makes it 100x easier!!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Spencer choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
