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 worth every second of it. I've also helped out many other people when they need someone to look after their pets. I’m also studying dog behaviour and training, and I’ve completed a certificate in animal behaviour through Coursera. I write about dogs on my website (just ask and I can send the link), which keeps me up-to-date with the latest science and gives me another reason to spend way too much time thinking about dogs!
