About: I've cared for animals my entire life and truly love them like family. Growing up, I helped my neighbor with Operation Catnip, where we trapped, rescued, and rehabilitated feral cats and dogs. I assisted with feeding, bathing, walking, giving medication, changing litter—whatever the animals needed. Over time, I started my own small pet care business for friends and family, and I also volunteered at my hometown's local animal shelter. I've fostered animals over the years as well, so I'm experienced with pets that need extra patience and care. Whether you're looking for someone to care for a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet who needs gentleness and routine—I treat every animal like they're my own.

I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for no matter the time of day. You can count on me for dependable and attentive care whenever you need it! When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s regular routine—feeding schedules, walk times, play, medication, and any special instructions. I'm experienced with administering medications, managing crate time, and keeping things clean and organized. For dogs, I offer safe, enjoyable walks based on their energy and comfort level. I’m also experienced with crate-trained dogs, senior pets who need a slower pace, and anxious pups who need extra patience and calm. For cats, I provide gentle, attentive care—cleaning litter, keeping feeding areas tidy, and respecting their space or snuggle needs depending on their personality. I'm also comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets will be loved, safe, and treated like family every time.

I really appreciate Samantha helping my boy on a last minute notice over the holiday weekend. I was out of town and she was nice enough to feed him and clean up his accident without asking. It was more than just a walk. I would recommend her services if you need someone to look after your dog. I hope to hire her in the future.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Palatka is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $20 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Palatka. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Palatka after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
