Pet care experience

Friendly, Reliable and happy to care for your pets

I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was a child and grew up in a household full of cats, dogs and parrots! I also have a love of animals at the smaller end of the scale, with over 30 years experience of caring for guinea pigs and hamsters. We currently have a small menagerie of guinea pigs, hamsters and three fish tanks, but sadly other commitments prevent us from having a dog of our own; hence doggy day care!

Helpful as ever. Milo really loves staying here and is sulky for a day or so when he realises he has to come home again.

Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our Alfie. Communication was excellent, with regular updates that put us completely at ease. Alfie was clearly well cared for and happy. Will definitely feel comfortable leaving Alfie with her for future trips. Highly recommended.

Nelson has a wonderful time with Samantha and comes home happy and exhausted. Samantha and her family are welcoming and flexible, making regular daycare really easy. Highly recommend

Another couple of days in Milo's second home. What more is there to say?

Milo was poorly overnight but Samantha kept me updated and I was able to collect him a little earlier than planned. He’s in very safe hands.

Schedule

I am currently a full time mum, balancing two school children and a husband (!) but still have plenty of time to play and go for walks with your four-legged family member.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully enclosed garden with plenty of space to play and no immediate access to main roads, ensuring plenty of safety and roaming space. We have decent walking paths and fields nearby, with friendly, dog loving neighbours!

Pets

A typical day

We live to walk come rain or shine! We'd do lots of playing and exploring and generally have a lot of fun outside. And when everyone's feeling like a lazy day, the comfy sofa with tv and cuddles sounds like a great idea.

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Samantha can host up to 2 pets per night
Whilst I know every dog is an individual and can have good and bad days, yours would need to be comfortable around children and ideally other, smaller caged animals without seeing them as a lunch option!
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
