I will look after your pets the way I would like my own to be looked after, lots of play and socialising, treats, quality time. I will follow any directions you give me to ensure your furry friends are happy and safe.

Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any additional needs that I need to be aware of, even if they are just fussy with their food so I know and can make sure I give them the best care possible.

A typical day

Every animal is different so if your pet loves to go for walks in particular areas I’m happy to follow their usual routes or give them a new adventure, play with their favourite toys and give them the treats they love the most!

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Sam, I live in Nottingham, I love all animals and cherish spending time with furry friends! I know that trusting someone to look after your pets can be difficult. You can rest assured that I will give the care and attention that I would want for my own. I understand that each one has a distinct personality and I am able to tailor my visits to suit your requirements. I am more than happy to spend time cuddling and playing with your pet(s) but also understand that they may also be shy or nervous of strangers and may prefer to be left alone. Happy to take care of puppies who may require more frequent visits for toilet breaks, play, exploration and socialising. Also happy to do companionship visits for anxious and/or elderly dogs who like more company. Please note I am not a dog trainer but happy to follow any positively reinforced training you have in place. I have lots of experience of looking after pets for family and friends and I am happy to include the care of smaller pets and fish as part of the service. Additionally I can help to make your house look occupied by opening/closing curtains and picking up post. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I hope that I can help you with your pet sitting needs. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. Best wishes, Sam

Sam went above and beyond what I'd expect from a cat sitter. Clear communication from the outset, made the effort to bond with my cat before the holiday, regular updates with photos after every visit. Nothing was too much trouble to make sure my cat was well cared for and content while we were away, so we had no worries. Can't recommend enough!

We recently had the pleasure of using Sam as our cat sitter, and they truly exceeded our expectations. Their dedication to caring for our furry family was outstanding! Each visit, they showered our kittens with all the love and attention they needed. I was also impressed by how respectfully they treated our home. Thank you Sam!

Sam was excellent and went above and beyond by waiting for Albie to turn up and when he didn't came back later to check on him. We got at least twice daily updates with photos about Albie and the house and whether we needed any changes due to weather conditions. Would happily recommend and use again as Albie seemed very content and relaxed.
