More time with my favourite four legged friends

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Sam, a 33 year old health professional who has a profound love for dogs (and all animals). I work 4 days a week and would be available evenings, weekends and Wednesdays for walks, drop ins and boarding if arranged in advance. I looked after a rescue dog for 9 months which had many challenges including reactivity, lead pulling. With this dog I went on The Dogs Trust 6 week training course so I could teach basic skills such as sit, up and recall. I’m happy to help teach your dog these basic skills whilst looking after them. Following meetings with dog behaviouralists I have learnt ways to keep a dog mentally stimulated and can play games/set up activities for your dog if they need this. I’ve looked after my parents border terrier when she was a pup and took her on walks when she was old enough. I previously walked dogs as a personal favour and also via Borrowmydoggy.

Sam was just lovely with my dog Rolo. Rolo was a little nervous but clearly warmed up to them. I got lots of photos and updates which we're great to see! Thanks so much for giving rolo a great time. Would definitely recommend 💜

Sam looked after my dog Holly- was really happy and confident knowing she was well looked after. Would definitely book with Sam again.

It was clear when we met Sam how much she loved animals. She had a great bond with our dog Asha and they were always excited to see one another. Sam was friendly, outgoing and reliable and we felt very secure knowing our dog was being well looked after with her. We have since moved country but kept in touch. I'd highly recommend her as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.

I have every confidence Sam will make a trustworthy, responsible and loving pet career as she has on numerous occasions been in charge of walking, feeding and taking care of our 2 family dogs.

Information Sam B. would like to know about your pet

I’ve had experience with a rescue dog with difficult behaviours e.g lunging, reactivity, mouthing, jumping up so comfortable if your dog struggles with this. As much notice as possible for bookings would be great.

A typical day

Provide your dog with physical and mental stimulation either in the home or out on walks. I love long walks and teaching dogs new tricks.

I don’t work Wednesdays so looking to spend some time on this day looking after/walking a dog. I love long walks so if your dog has lots of energy I can help with this. I could do adhoc evenings and weekends if given notice so please message if you think I could help!
