Experienced & Mindful Dog Walker 🐾

Pet care experience

New to Rover! I have 5+ years of professional dog walking and sitting experience in addition to decades of personal pet care and ownership. I am a longtime resident of the DMV area and my Bengal cat and I take daily walks through our neighborhood. I understand how precious your pups are to you and I’d love to help with your midday dog walking needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I have no problem administering medications if need be and can also just stop by to make sure your dog gets a potty break and some playtime and snuggles. I know how unique each of our animal friends are and do my best to make sure they are comfortable and cared for.

Both myself and my dog, Augie, have considered Samantha a very close friend for more than eight years. Her natural kindness, reliability, and compassion are some of the qualities that not only make her someone you want to regularly spend time with, but also trust to take outstanding care of your pet! I have always felt total peace of mind leaving Augie in her care for any amount of time, and this appreciation has only grown in recent years as his needs have become increasingly less straightforward. I admittedly became more reluctant to travel without the little guy once his was diagnosed with a severe heart murmur, but, in addition to giving him the core love and attention you hope to see in a caregiver, Samantha has consistently managed his multiple daily medications with ease. Upon being reunited with Augie, I always find him the perfect blend of happy/tired after his stays with her. I also want to emphasize that the scope of Samantha's pet care credibility isn't limited to canines! I have had the privilege of witnessing her demonstrate the utmost love to her own cat, Juno, over the last six years. She takes him on more walks than most of the dog owners that I've met!

Samantha has been great at caring for our Frenchy. I wouldn't trust anyone else due to the sensitivity needed to take care of the breed. She has consistently followed our instructions and ensures we have nothing to worry about when we need our baby watched for a few hours. I hope she continues her availability on rover.

I can absolutely recommend Samantha as a dog walker. She has cared for my dogs many times. I have French bulldogs, and they often need special care, and need someone that is highly attentive. She has always treated my dogs like the family members that they are. I’ve never worry about them when they’ve been in her care. She has always been dependable and wonderful caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment

I am attentive and patient with all animals and understand they all have unique needs. I make sure to feed and keep your dog hydrated as well as comfortable and content during our walks. Lots of sniffs and shade and let them help guide the walk. I like to send photos to keep you updated as well.

Information Samantha H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs for your pet. Are they friendly with strangers and children or other dogs? How about cats in the neighborhood? I can accommodate a pet that is friendly with me but maybe not so much with others they aren’t familiar with. Any special commands you use are helpful as well.

A typical day

I like to let your dog guide the nature of our walk or visit. If your pet is a little shy and would rather sniff close to home that is okay. If your dog is more high energy and needs a larger route to explore that is okay too! Sometimes all they need is someone to say hello to.
