About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care in Brown County About Me I've been around animals my whole life, from hamsters to horses. These days my own pack is three: Wilma, an energetic Labrador; Daisy, a sassy Aussie/Border Collie mix; and Shiloh, a playful Husky/Aussie mix. Your pet gets the same care I give mine. Time away is hard on pets. I keep them comfortable, engaged, and safe until you're home, with walks, playtime, and steady, attentive company. Why Choose Me - 10+ years of hands-on experience across breeds and temperaments (since 2005) - Fully insured through Pet Care Insurance - Skilled with multi-pet households, special routines, and farm animals - Consistent, reliable care on every visit - Proudly serving Brown County and surrounding areas since 2016 I work from home full-time, so your pets get attention on their schedule, not just mine. My daughter serves as a trusted backup, so there's always someone reliable to step in if needed. Together, we handle your pets, plants, and home with consistency and attention to detail, whether that's daily visits, overnight stays, or extra care for puppies, seniors, and multi-pet households. You get peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety comes first. I keep a close eye on their surroundings, follow your instructions closely, and stick to routines they already know, so nothing about their day feels uncertain while you're away.
About: Are you a good boy or girl? Do you enjoy a nice frolic in the field just like the rest of us? Are you addicted to belly rubs? If so, (or even if not) let me take care of you! Growing up in the country I've had a lifetime experience caring for all sorts of creatures, but mainly with those that 'woof' or 'meow.' Due to my loving nature of these four-legged animals, I've encountered many interactions and play dates with dogs of all shapes and sizes. As a former teacher, I know the importance of using a firm voice and using visual gesture cues to communicate with another kind (jk I LOVE children as well.) I don't mean to brag, but I'd like to think I was built to be a great dog walker with being 6'1 and all. Plus, who likes to RUN?! Ready, set, let's go! Although I love having a ball with some barkers, I currently spoil and cuddle with two perfect purr-ers in my household on a daily basis. Please give me an opportunity to make you wag that tail like nobody's business!
“I highly recommend Samantha. She was very diligent in caring for a somewhat complicated schedule for several types of animals. When we returned the animals were happy and well cared for. She also house sat for us. She is very respectful of our property and the house was left in immaculate condition! We could not have been more pleased and it is such a relief to have someone we can trust with our animals and our home. Hire Samantha! You will not be disappointed.”
“Lexi went above and beyond and even showed up a little early since we got a early start to our vacation. She took great care of our bulldogs and it gave us such relief to know they were in good hands. She left the house spotless and had great communication through the entire weekend. Will certainly book again.”
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was young. Looking forward to taking care of your fur babies as if they were mine I recently lost my pets and the apartment I live in doesn't allow pets so I look forward to loving your fur babies as if they were my own I'm pretty flexible at dealing with animals I used to have a Australian shepherd and a Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix and two cats so I'm used to taking care of a lot of babies
“Allison is a total rockstar! She watched our four (yes, four) dogs and somehow managed to keep up with their chaos better than we do ourselves. She sent us tons of videos and updates, and we could tell the pups were having the time of their lives—all the playtime & snuggles. Honestly, we think they were a little disappointed when we came home instead of her staying forever. On top of that, we had a last-minute change in houses and she rolled with it like it was no big deal. Super chill, super reliable, and clearly a dog whisperer. We couldn’t be happier and would 1000% book her again (if our dogs don’t convince her to adopt them first)!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 373 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stone Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Stone Head walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stone Head maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Stone Head 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
