Safety Notice for Meet & Greets For my safety, I want to let clients know that during meet & greets, either my father or boyfriend will accompany me.

“Samantha has been an absolute lifesaver! She walks my dog Cooper once a day during the week while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for someone more reliable. She is always consistent and right on time, which gives me total peace of mind. What really stands out is how attentive she is—she always lets me know if anything seems off with Cooper and keeps me updated after each walk. She’s also very responsive whenever I reach out, which I really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!”

About: I’m dependable, patient, and truly love animals. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to fit their needs — whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or maintaining a training routine. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra reassurance. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and household guidelines. I’m respectful of your space, make sure doors and windows are secure, and always double-check that everything is safe before I leave. I keep a clean environment, refresh food and water bowls, maintain litter boxes, and monitor behavior for any changes. I also provide updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
