I want to walk your dog!

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner for 21 years, but a dog lover for my entire life. Seven years ago I rescued my beagle mix, Raven, and I have learned a lot about how to handle dogs that are scared, excited, and full of energy. He has taught me how important it is to always fully pay attention to the dog I'm walking, how to act around other dogs, how to walk a leash puller, and many more things. I also have experience taking care of puppies, older dogs, giving medicine, and changing bandages for wounds. I will extend the same level of love and care to your dog as I do to mine, and I can't wait to be friends with your dog!

Sam was so wonderful and patient with my two crazy boys. He went above and beyond to make sure my anxious dog felt comfortable and was extremely patient. He sent updates throughout the weekend and shared tons of pictures. Highlyyyy recommend Sam.

Sam was great with our old pup! He made sure to go her pace and hung out with her for some fresh air when she was too tired to go any farther :)

Sam walks our dog twice a week and has done a great job with her! She always seems so happy when she gets back from her walks.

Sam was exceptional house sitting my 2 high energy Alaskan Klee Kais. He was communicative and flexible to accommodate my needs and I felt confident my best friends were in capable hands while I was away. Can't recommend Sam enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I love animals so much, I will treat them like they are my own. My biggest fear is an animal escaping on my watch, and I do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen.

Information Sam H. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me any special requests you have, I should be able to accommodate. Please tell me if they are allowed to meet and say hi to other dogs, otherwise my default is avoiding dogs completely.

A typical day

I am a fast walker, so if your dog is up for it I'll taken them on a mile plus walk (in half an hour). If they're not, we'll go on a shorter walk and I'll play with them inside after the walk.
