Safety, trust & environment

I have the time and more than enough energy to take your dog on walks or a run every day, and will make sure they're comfortable at all times. I don't have a fenced in yard, but will walk them until theyre tired

Information Sam M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know size and how well trained/behaved they are. I am hesitant with letting dogs off leash before I know how well they'll respond, even if you say its okay

A typical day

I take pride in being able to tire dogs out. As a runner and avid hiker, I barely sit still during the day. I think dogs who love their toys are adorable, and like to play with them.

Friendly and active dog lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life, and miss the company of a furry friend. I’d love to show your dog all the pent up dog love I’ve had to store inside myself the past couple years. My family had three dogs growing up, from puppy to old age. I was helpful in every part of their training and growth, and often took them on multiple walks per day for both my enjoyment and theirs. Walking lately without a dog with me is a bit more lonely, and though larger dogs such as boxers or labs are my favorite, any dog with a lot of energy will get along great with me. My schedule is flexible to help out with whatever you need. I am a runner and hiker (30+ miles per day) and can guarantee I will wear your pup out on walks!

Sam did a great job with a drop-in care for our senior pup while we're skiing all day.

This is what I love about Rover - meeting great new people to help us with our pups. Sam was prompt (not an easy feat given our remote location), and the pups took to her immediately- not a surprise given Sam’s calm demeanor. I’’ll definitely be booking her in the future.

Sam was on time and confirmed the end of the walk with a picture of our pup! She was super responsive and booked quickly when I was in a bit of a jam. Would absolutely book her again!

Sam arrived on time, and took all my instructions beautifully. My great dane was well cared for and happy when I returned. She also sent my updates via text with pics so I felt great about leaving my girl home!
