Dog Walking Union Mills

About: Hi, I'm Samantha! I'm a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant with 20 years of professional animal care experience, and I bring that same expertise and genuine love for animals to every drop-in visit. Whether I'm caring for a dog or a cat, I tailor each visit to what your pet actually enjoys — feeding, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or just calm company. I know how to read animal behavior and body language, so your pet gets what they need to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Every visit includes a text update with photos or video, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in great hands. I'd love to meet your pets — feel free to message me! Caring for pets is my full-time passion, not a side gig! My schedule is dedicated entirely to the animals in my care, so you can count on reliability and consistency. I'm available for dog walks Monday through Friday and the occasional weekend, and I offer drop-in visits Monday through Friday as well as on weekends, making it easy to find coverage whenever you need it. I offer care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most at ease. Keeping pets in their familiar environment reduces stress and keeps their routine intact while you're away.

About: I grew up caring for household pets & greatly enjoyed it. I am a dedicated animal lover, with years of experience in dog walking, playing, and general loving care for friends and family’s pets. I feel strongly that animals need to get sufficient play time in order to feel properly nourished in their lives. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs with muzzles & dogs with special needs. I have been house and pet sitting across the country on & off for the last 5 years. I am an entrepreneur & work from home. My schedule is flexible & I can almost always adapt to your scheduling needs. I am currently in between vehicles and relying primarily on public transportation & the local shuttle system at this time. Many of my repeat clients offer me a vehicle or bike to use during my time caring for their pets if it is necessary for the duties I’ll be performing. I have been on Trusted Housesitters for over 4 years with excellent reviews and experiences. I have also house and pet sit for many friends and family. Given my large resume of experience, I decided to start on Rover to get paid for the excellent care that I offer. While staying in your home, I will treat your home like my own. Keeping all spaces clean and tidy for you to come back to. If you have any boundaries in your home please let me know, so I can be sure to respect all house rules. I am comfortable sleeping with animals on the beds or off, depending, of course, on how large the bed is if it’s an overnight sit. I will enjoy exploring your area and take any pups who need exercise on some beautiful hikes and adventures!

About: Raised on a cattle ranch, I have had experience with animals large and small my whole life. I joined Rover about a few years ago, shortly after my 120 pound lab of 9 years passed away, I wanted to be able to be around dogs and be able to be active by going on hikes and out to dog beach, but wasn't quite ready to bring to a new puppy into my life. I have house sat for many clients over the years: friends, co-workers & students families. I love to go on long walks, am comfortable administering medication if needed & providing lots of love for your dear furry friend(s). It’s been 7 years since I brought my lab puppy Pilot home & he absolutely loves having other dogs come to stay and/or join in on our daily adventures. Since covid hit he especially loves that I am a work from home dog mom now and we take a considerable amount of additional walks/hikes/bike rides each day. I would welcome anyone who is looking for Daily walks/adventures as well as longer term pet sitting to reach out as I would love to watch your furry friends. My dog Pilot would love to meet more friends to play with. Please note: I am unable to accommodate pets with any type of aggressive tendencies. I work full time from home, so your pet will be cared for and with the company of myself and my lab for their entire stay. I have a huge property with a doggie door and live near a variety of trails and lakes that can be accessed right out our door for our exercising adventures

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and personality for years and I continue to care for them now. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and administering basic medications. I’m currently working remotely part-time, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility. I can’t think of anything better to do during my time than care for animals! I have a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where pets can play. I also have one friendly dog, but I can easily separate or crate dogs if needed to ensure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide them with plenty of attention, care, and love.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised a Beagle (Billy) from puppyhood and proudly attended dog training classes with him (Billy and I both learned alot !) I've also had the joy of rescuing Summer, a gorgeous ex-show dog Golden Retriever, who was by my side for 13 years. After that was Bammer, an Alaskan Husky Lab mix. He was my adventure buddy, and always kept me on my toes! Besides my own dogs, I've had lots of experience caring for my friends' dogs while they are travelling, so have been able to adapt to all kinds of personalities, temperaments and levels of energy. The silver lining is that I currently have no pets of my own, which means your dog will get all the love, attention, belly rubs, walks, playtime, and couch cuddles they can handle. Whether your pup is an energetic explorer, a pro napper, or somewhere in between, they'll be treated like part of the familly. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my goal is simple: to make sure they're happy, safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you're away. 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing for plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I also love getting outside for neighborhood walks, so your pup will get lots of fresh air, exercise, and cuddles. I have a fully fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks, and dogs are welcome inside the home as part of the family. I'll follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care.

“Rose was great! The best review is that Axel was comfortable and excited to see her and he doesn't do that with everyone.”

“Lindi was awesome. Highly recommended. Punctual, responsible, and trustworthy. She was flexible with changing booking times at the last minute which was great. She was mindful of locking all the door locks behind her which I thought was a nice touch. Although my poor, scared rescue always hid, Lindi tried her best to coax her but to no avail. Lindi sent me pictures of her hiding in the corner and it would make me giggle. Will hire Lindi again once my rescue gets more confident. THANK YOU, Lindi!”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.

About: I have taken care of dogs for many years. Weather it was volunteering at the local humane society or walking my neighbors dog. I also have a dog of my own at home who I miss so much since being at college. So I’d love to spend time with dogs whenever I can. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have a 8 year old dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and caring for a dog are already a natural part of my everyday routine. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule, as well as any specific instructions you provide. I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with me.

“Malia is great with dogs, and is a pleasure to deal with. She immediately knew what to do to interact with our high-energy pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

“Katherine did a great job with a walk for my sweet Allie! Easy to communicate with and would book again.”

“Carrie was fantastic!!! She lives far and was willing to come in my unusual situation. My dog thoroughly enjoyed his walk and love to have a kind caring person to walk my dog when i am not able to.”

About: I worked at a pet hotel and doggie daycare for a year. We would create play groups for certain compatible dogs, feed, administer medications, and clean up after them. I also have two family dogs for the last 10 years. I currently work Thursday-Saturday and have four days off. Also I will not be working at my current job for the full month of February so I will have full availability! I currently am renting a room in a house so I would be unable to have pets over. I would be able to stay the night at the client’s home only. I can bring pets for long walks/hikes or just relaxing and playing whatever need be. I would also like a video of the condition of the house I’d be staying at in advance.

“Angie you are so wonderful with our pups I can’t thank you enough for your attention and care for our babies we so appreciate you, thank you!”

Melissa M.

“Josh is amazing! So patient, so helpful. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. My dogs are something else and he handled them with the utmost patience and professionalism.”

About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!
