Samantha was great with Lola. Easy to work with and patient. Lola loved her!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Samantha. Not only is she extremely accommodating and friendly, but she is the ONLY person my little fur baby, Julep, has ever instantly taken to. I have had Julep since she was about 7 mo old and she is now 2 mo shy of turning 9. Her first 7 mo of life were rough, so though she does warm up eventually, it takes her time to feel comfortable around new dogs and people. This was not the case with Samantha! Julep loved her instantly. We have tried countless doggie daycare and dog sitting services in the past, but Julep's separation anxiety has always prevented her from enjoying these experiences. I was shocked to watch her enthusiastically walk away with Samantha within a minute of meeting her. In almost 8 yrs, Samantha is the ONLY person Julep has ever gotten so attached to so quickly. If you have any anxious pup like mine (or if you're an anxious pup parent like me) you can have full confidence in trusting Samantha. We were blessed that Samantha was able to fit in us for a last minute request of 30 min walks for 3 consecutive days. But at the end of the 3 days, both Julep and I were sad to see her go! Given the holidays and travels on both sides, we likely won't be able to see Samantha again before we leave the area. But if we ever find ourselves in NoVA, Samantha will be our first call, no question. Even if we don't necessarily need a dog walker, I would hire her again in a heartbeat just to see how happy she makes my dog! Julep knows her by name and would get SO excited everytime I said we were "going to see Sam." In just 3 days of 30 min segments, she became a part of our family. We really can't thank her enough!
