A dogs best friend 🐕
Pet care experience
Hello! Sam here, I'm a dog walker/sitter with over 10 years experience, having lived with dogs of all sizes and personalities for most of my life. I was a baby when the Labrador down the road decided it liked spending more time with our family than the owners, so we adopted him. His name was Sam too, clearly we were meant for each other. As a teenager my Dad trusted me to train and take care of Flynn, a rather quiet German Shepard. More recently my partner and I adopted a beautiful border collie, unfortunately she had epilepsy and so required a lot of care, but she was absolutely worth every second of it. I've also helped out many other people when they need someone to look after their pets. This includes a giant black lab (appropriately) named Gnarly, and housesitting with a very shy Gypsy and her 2 more social feline friends.
Reviews
Sam was excellent as always with our two dogs. They had a lovely walk and came back to two very happy dogs and a spotless home
Sam was excellent with our two dogs. Came home to a lovely tidy home and two very happy sausage dogs. As this was the first time watching them Sam made an effort to come and meet them beforehand which was brilliant. Thank you again!
Sam was great, really easy to make arrangements with and made friends with my very energetic spaniel. Left the house lovely and tidy as well. Would use again
Sam was great at looking after our dog while we were visiting Edinburgh. He was great at replying and very keen to learn all about her to give the best care possible. He very quickly gained her trust and we were able to enjoy a lovely evening out not worried about our pup! We would highly recommend him to others, and we loved getting updates throughout the evening :)

Every pet is different and I'm happy to cater to their unique needs and maintain their routines. I can go for long walks, lavish them with attention, feed them at the right times, clean up after them, and give them any required medications. More information on the services I can offer: - House Sitting: I focus on this as I work from home and will have plenty of time to spend with your pets and look after your home. I'm based in Linlithgow, but can go anywhere accessible via public transport, however for shorter stays I may ask for help covering the travel costs. - Dog Walks & Drop-ins: Because house sitting takes me all over the place I can't offer regular walks, but short-term requests are possible when I’m around. I’ll keep the calendar up to date with my availability, feel free to get in touch with any questions or specific requests!
Information Sam B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements, I have experience with all sorts of personalities and can administer medications if necessary.
A typical day
A typical day would start with breakfast and then off to the park for a good long walk, play some fetch and sniff our way around. Meadowfield is my personal favourite as it's not too populated and we have lot's of space for ourselves.
