Your Pup’s Daily Dose of Joy
I’ve had dogs woven into every season of my life — from a tiny 20‑lb puggle with a big personality, to a 115‑lb Great Dane/Pitbull mix who thought he was a lap dog, and now my own medium‑sized pup (Velma) who absolutely loves hearing herself bark. Caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments has taught me patience, confidence, and how to make even the most vocal pups feel understood. Helping others has always been at the heart of who I am. In my day job as a therapist, I support people in my community — and dog walking feels like a natural extension of that same care. Whether it’s giving a shy dog a gentle, reassuring walk or letting an energetic hound sniff every interesting leaf, I love making each pet feel safe, happy, and seen. I’m here to bring calm, kindness, and a little bit of joy to your pet’s day.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to keep things calm, cozy, and predictable for pets, whether they’re staying in their own familiar space or spending time with me. In your home, I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, and any little quirks that make your pet feel safe. I make sure water bowls stay fresh, litter boxes are clean, and your pet gets plenty of gentle attention, playtime, or quiet company depending on what they enjoy. My goal is always the same — to make your pet feel cared for, respected, and genuinely comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop‑in, or a weekend visit, I bring the same calm, thoughtful energy I use in my day job as a therapist: steady, gentle, and reliable.
Ratings and reviews
Ive trusted Samantha with my dog more than once, and I can say without hesitation that she's a caring walker that loves animals of all sizes and types. My pup always comes back relaxed, safe, and clearly well-looked after.
Sam is a wonderfully responsible and loving caregiver who treats every dog as if they were her own. Her calm, gentle presence helps pets feel safe right away, and she’s attentive to every detail—from routines to comfort needs. Dogs naturally gravitate toward her warmth, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and well‑cared for. Anyone trusting Sam with their pup or animal can feel confident they’re in truly caring hands.

Schedule
Even though I work a 9–5 as a therapist during the week, I’m always happy to spend my weekends caring for your paw companion. My weekdays are dedicated to supporting people, and my weekends are reserved for giving pets the same calm, thoughtful attention. Whether your buddy needs a walk, a check‑in, or just some cozy company, I’m glad to be there.

- It’s important to know a pet’s medications, allergies, and any special needs ahead of time so I can keep them safe and comfortable. I also ask about their feeding schedule and treat preferences to make sure their routine stays consistent. Knowing these details helps me tailor care to their unique needs and keep everything running smoothly.
