Caring Dog Walker

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, helping friends, neighbors, and family with everything from walks to feeding and bath time. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a long walk, I treat every dog like they’re my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety is my top priority, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid high-traffic areas, and keep a close eye on your pup’s behavior and comfort. If needed, I can crate your dog and will always follow your care instructions closely.

Sam was great with our big dog Roscoe! She was sweet, on-time, communicative and sent us updates. We felt very comfortable to have her in our home and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Sam was great, she thought Bailey was very sweet. They walked the full half hour without any issues. Thank you Sam.

Sam J. is amazing with animals and has watched our dogs many times—they absolutely love her! She’s kind, attentive, and always on time, which gives us total peace of mind when we’re away. We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our pets. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!

I asked Sam to help me take care of my Chihuahua, his name is Papas, she was absolutely wonderful. Papas is kind of a wild dog, but she was very slow and gentle with him. She took him on a 2 mile walk around our local park and she kept in touch with us when we had questions. She’s very kind to the dog but not a pushover.

Schedule

I’m currently not working and only have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have lots of free time throughout the week to care for your pup. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. Your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away!

It’s super helpful to know your pet’s personality, energy level, and any quirks—like if they’re nervous around other dogs, don’t like loud noises, or have favorite toys or walking routes. I also want to know about any medical needs, allergies, or special routines (meal times, bathroom habits, etc.) so I can give them the best care possible. The more I know, the more comfortable and happy your pet will be!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
