Energetic, down to earth dog walker

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Sam and I have been a dog walker/dog sitter for friends and family for years. I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes of dogs. I enjoy hiking and being outdoors a lot; I know plenty of dog friendly locations to take your pup to all around Connecticut. I am responsible, prompt, and energetic. I work as a special education teacher in Hartford and have some free time after work to walk your dog! I also have summers off for your pet sitting needs.

Great attitude and work ethic and very well mannered! She got along well with my dog! Highly recommend as she is the only person I trust with my dog because he’s extremely picky! I couldn’t get him away from her!

Samantha Milne is the consummate dog whisperer! I hired Samantha to take care of my highly active French Bulldog, Banksy, three times a week, to cover the nights that I had to work late. I trusted Samantha with a key to my home in order to care for my beloved pet. She performed such duties as walking and feeding Banksy, in addition to providing companionship. She always sent pictures of Banksy’s walks along with a written report of his daily itinerary. Samantha is the first dog sitter to whom Banksy ever showed affection! Knowing that my dog is safe and having fun means the world to me. I can’t say enough as to how thrilled I am with Samantha’s work performance and excellent care! I am pleased to highly recommend Samantha Milne to the position of pet caregiver and dog walker, without reservation.

Sam is by far the most trustworthy person I know, she has dedicated her career to education and child care so it goes without saying that she is more than capable of taking care of animals as well. She has always loved animals for the 20+ years I have known her, especially dogs.

Information Sam M. would like to know about your pet

It is always a great idea to meet a dog before sitting him or her. I like to meet the animal with the owner first to make an easier transition for animals. I like to provide dogs and owners with the opportunity to get to know and trust me.

A typical day

One of my favorite activities is to take dogs on hikes! I know the best trails in the area that are easy or moderate, depending on your dogs energy and your preference. I also know the best dog parks in the area to help your dog engage with other dogs to encourage socialization. Also, I will never get tired of playing fetch with your dog!
