I hold a full DBS enhanced check. I have a real passion for animal care and always tailor any dog walks or pet visits to suit the needs of the individual animal.

Information Sam S. would like to know about your pet

I have experience working with nervous dogs and have specific places that tend to be quieter where I can take them. I have experience with deaf dogs and dogs with limited mobility.

A typical day

Each walk I do is tailored specifically to the individual dogs needs. I have multiple locations around the north east that I use for off lead and on lead walks.

Leaving your pets behind is always difficult. I felt my cats and house were in safe hands with Sam. He was great at communicating, kept me posted with pictures and daily updates. Highly recommend Sam who is really genuine.

Nothing but good things to say. Sam was super accommodating and was lovely with our high low maintenance puppy. Would 100% use him again! ☺️

I had no worries about Sam looking after my 2 furry babies. After meeting him before his visits I immediately knew they would be fine. He posted pictures and messages every day and when I returned home, it was as tidy as I left it. A lovely young man. I’m so pleased I found you Sam, thank you and I’ll see you next time.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
