Award Winning Dog Walker 🐾💓

Having grown up around rescue dogs, greyhounds, Jack Russell’s, terriers & my best friends Labrador’s- I’ve been around pooches for what seems like forever! I was 6years old when I offered to walk my neighbours dog- Bruce, and was ecstatic when she gave me 50p a day to take him round the fields. All 50p got quickly spent on sweets! Haha I was 7 when I started Horse Riding & continued until my ex- racehorse passed away in 2021. I spent a huge chunk of my younger years in the equestrian world- competing, grooming & doing general yard work before studying Equine Science at University. Proud owner of Smushleberry Strolls Dog Walking means I’m fully dedicated to the job- it’s not a part time hobby. Owner of a 6 month old puppy, & an senior working dog? attendee of regular gundog training & with a keen interest in canine behaviour- I’m confident with all breeds from the cute & fluffy to the wet & muddy!

Dog Walking • Jul 26, 2024

It was very easy and efficient to arrange a dog walk with Sam. She is very professional and, crucially, our dog instantly took to her and thoroughly enjoyed his walk.

Sam & Sue are literally the best! Our little pooch has come on leaps & bounds with these ladies. Dedicated, even in the harshest of weathers. Our little boy comes back happy, satisfied & doesn’t destroy my house anymore! From a nervous wreck to a confident chap in a matter of weeks 🥰 Really can’t fault Sam or Sue & I look forward to the pictures of his happy little face on his walks!

Happened upon Rover for a last minute dog walker and it’s been so easy. Sam’s ability to find someone as she was busy and her communication has been first class. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for walking our Holly!

I know Sam to be a great lover of outdoors, and she will always have a pooch by her side to enjoy it with her, whether it be her own, a friends, a great variety of furry friends she has. Sam knows all the great different walking spots to keep the dogs intuition going, long walks, short walks, and she knows some great swimming spots as well (or rather smushy knows) Sam is a reliable, trusting, and hard working person and I’m lucky to have her!

Sam has been great with our fur baby! He really enjoys his walks with her & she keeps him engaged with the ball & treats so he comes back happy & ready for a nap! 100 recommend her!

It’s useful to know usual walks, how long, quirks, and usual routines. Anything you’re working on training wise so I can implement whilst out walking!
