Large breed experience & run dog therapy sessions

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats since I was 5 years old and am used to large breed dogs, my first dogs were a Rottie and a collie and I now have 2 Ridgeback’s. I’ve been walking dogs for people across the Midlands for over 15 years - all shapes and sizes, I’m fully insured and DBS checked. I also run animal therapy sessions at the local SEN college. I love the outdoors and am familiar with good off lead walks and also lead walks to suit individual needs. I’m also happy to do vet visits etc so please just message and ask if you have specific requirements. I support the Improving Life Abroad Charity and was due to go to Sri Lanka in 2020 to help the street dogs there, when covid hit the trip for me at least was delayed but I’m hoping to go out in the near future as they fly out twice a year to feed and provide veterinary care to the dogs all over the island. I don’t have children so my pets are like my kids so I know how much animals mean to their owners. I understand the importance of being 100% trustworthy and reliable around your fur babies.

Sam has been walking our 8 year old chocolate labrador since she was a puppy and also walks our second 2 year old mixed breed Romanian rescue since she was 4.5 months old. Our dogs absolutely adore Sam, she is reliable and trustworthy and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Information Sam M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if your dog has any specific needs or behavioural issues or if there’s anything I need to look out for. I’ve walked dogs previously that get spooked by backpacks, hats, umbrellas or walking sticks. Some are lovely off the lead but show aggression when they are on the lead so as long as I have advance warning certain situations can be avoided. The most important thing is for your dog to have fun and enjoy their walk.

A typical day

There’s over 30 different walks I’ve done in the Midlands over the years with the dogs in my care between Warley Woods in Birmingham and Hawkbatch in Bewdley, I’m familiar with the safest of walks and am always conscious of nearby roads and busy areas. We can take toys and balls out on our trips and visit the places best suited to the dog/s in my care.
