Samantha

Owner / Manager

Hello y'all! My name is Samantha (Sam for short) I am the Owner/ Operator of Walk the Walk Professional Pet Care, LLC. I started my business in 2016 with a passion for people and their pets! As pet parents my family and I wanted to create a good experience in the pet care community and be a fun and reliable resource for pet parents alike! We take pride in what we do and we have so much love to share! I graduated from the University of Tampa with a degree in Art Majoring in Creative Therapy so before this I was a full time artist and worked with kids with special needs. I grew up with Maltese and now have a rescue pit mix named Sundae!When I am not with your beautiful babies I love being outside in my garden! I am an adventurous eater and love trying new restaurants. One of my favorite pastimes is food and if I’m not eating it I'm cooking it. I love meeting new people and getting to know my clients better as well! I am also a pretty good bartender and amateur photographer. I have had a really good opportunity honing my photography skills taking pictures of your lovely babies! So that's a little about me! Look forward to getting to know some of you better as well!

Gaby

Admin / Scheduling

Hi Im Gaby! I have been part of the walk the walk team for the past 3 years. You can mostly find me behind the scenes doing schedules, invoicing, etc. I do occasionally jump in and take care of your wonderful pups! For the last 2 years I have been in sales and I have been in the hospitality industry for over a decade. For fun I love to travel, eat lots of good food and hang out by the pool. I look forward to many more pet loving years and getting to speak with you all soon!

Tori

Hey there! My name is Tori. I have known Samantha for the last 12 years or so, and I am overjoyed to be a part of her team! I have always had dogs around growing up into my adult years. Currently I do not own any, so working with Walk the Walk has been my animal fix! I absolutely love being part of the daily schedule, I find working with animals to be very therapeutic! My full-time job and passion lies in the natural healthcare industry. I am also very happy momma to a beautiful little girl and when I am not working, I am spending all of my free time with her; our favorite thing to do is explore our city

Jessica

Hi! My name’s Jessica, or Jess. I am currently in school to become a Veterinary Technician. I am friendly and personable but can be shy and introverted at times. I've grown up with animals my whole life and currently have a 14 year old golden named Buddy and a cat named Itty Bitty (but I call her Little Kitty). I used to pet sit back in Georgia where I grew up prior to moving to the Valrico area. I’ve ridden horses and worked with barn animals for 12 years and am currently interested in maybe going into the vet tech field for large animal care! I am also a digital artist! I’ve drawn for most of my life and have an affinity for drawing wolves and canines. Wolves are my favorite animal! Love this job and the people I work with!

Chloe

My name is Chloe and I've been an animal lover my whole life! I am currently going to school for Agriculture and large animal care. I've always had an affinity for dairy farming and have had the privilege to work on farms in the past. Big or small I love taking care of them all! I also have a pup of my own and a cat named Mash Potato

Jenn

My name is Jenn! I am a life long doggie mom and a mom of 3 human kiddos and 4 lovable pups. I currently work in the school system. I have a blended VPK (preschool) class so I help get kiddos ready for kindergarten and still work with those who have special needs helping them prepare for kindergarten. I also have been pursuing my yoga instructor certification for adolescents. So excited to meet and hang out with all of your amazing furry friends!

Jenna

Hi :)) My name is Jenna. I am working towards getting certified to become a personal trainer and nutritionist! Fitness is something that I’ve always loved doing. I have a fur baby myself, his name is Karl, but I call him Bean. He’s is definitely a mommas boy and we are attached at the hip! I can’t wait to spend time with all of these fur babies and give them all the care and love in the world!

Maria

Hello! I am very excited to be part of the team and care for so many wonderful pets! I volunteered at a cat rescue for a little over two years and am currently pursuing a degree to become a veterinary technician. I am very passionate about all kinds of animals and have wanted to work in the industry ensuring their health and happiness ever since I was little. Animals bring me so much joy and peace and I couldn’t have found a better place to start that journey :). I also enjoy reading and drawing/ painting in my free time, as well as just being in the company of my family and pets. I have a beautiful (and crazy) dog named Stormy and a lovely cat at home who are my whole world!

I am a dog mom of two and have three cats. My goal one day is start a rescue to help animals in need. I have rescued 6 animals in the past 4 years into new,wonderful homes and hope to continue to grow that number! In my spare time, I love gardening and plants, music, dancing, and new food. I am so excited to be on this team and can't wait to mee your babies!

Theresa

My husband and I have two young daughters who are rambunctious little ones! I am currently a stay at home mom, or house manager as I like to say haha. Although we don't have any pets of our own, I grew up with family pets and love being around them. I am like the fun aunt who wants to spoil your kids! I will give as much care and consideration to your babies as I would my own!

Emma

Hi! My name is Emma. I have been a dog lover all my life. I am currently in my third year at the University of Central Florida. I am studying Health Sciences, hoping to go into Occupational Therapy. I have just adopted an adorable blue pit puppy named Lilo. With the addition of Lilo my family now has four dogs, all with very different personalities so I am ready for whatever your animals may need! While I do love getting to see all of your beautiful babies, in my free time I am studying or hanging with Lilo. I can’t wait to meet and hang out with all of your amazing puppers!
