Highlights
Pet care experience
A family of pet lovers 🐾
Hello, I'm samantha. I've always had a passion for animals. So much so that I studied for 3 years at BCA college here in maidenhead to get a level 2 diploma and a level 3 extended diploma in Animal Management. During my studies I learned about all animals from the big to the small but I also felt the most passionate about cats and dogs which is why in my last year I chose to study kennel and cattery. I also completed work experience at kennels and veterinary practices. Since leaving college i got a normal job and have then spent the last 7 years focusing on bringing up my young family. I had pets growing up and i would love my children experience this. Our neighbours all have pets and they regularly enjoy seeing them. We can offer a home from home with lots of love. We live in a bungalow so it's ideal for older dogs who struggle with stairs. We have a large lounge that leads onto a conservatory which is where we'll spend most of the time. I have a playpen which if wanted can convert into a snug area for your pet. Your pet will never feel lonely, we live next to the maidenhead thicket which is ideal for walks. We have a lovely big garden that we can run around and play in. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs, we would be happy to do a trial run to make sure everyones happy. We would only be able to take vaccinated pets due to having small children.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Samantha is fabulous with our Pomsky Chester. He loves going to her and her family and her and her two children always pay him lots of attention and make him feel so loved. We have no hesitation in leaving him with her. She is very caring, always follows instructions and send photos, videos every day. A truly lovely qualified pet sitter. Sam, what would we do without you! Thank you.
Sam is our go-to dog sitter. We have a reactive Patterdale terrier. Our dog is extremely nervous around other dogs and therefore needs someone who understands that to look after her. Sam does an amazing job with Effy providing a welcoming family home with lots of playing and walks. I highly recommend Sam for short or long breaks for your dog.
Our Cockapoo Barney has stayed with Sam and her family several times. He is so happy when he is with them. Sam is an excellent dogsitter - she and her 2 young children give Barney lots of attention and time. She is patient, kind and very good with him and I really like him staying with Sam. I trust her implicitly with Barney and would recommend her as an outstanding dogsitter to anyone.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As I've said in my profile, i have a passion for animals and especially dogs. I love it when we have a dog come to stay. My kids both love playing with the dogs. I like to make them feel part of our family while their with us. Very much a home from home where their tails are wagging excited to come back and stay with us.
A typical day
When I have a dog stay they will enjoy at least 2 walks a day at our local field just a stones throw away. I also have a big garden ideal for playing fetch. I have a big selection of toys so all their favourites should be covered but please feel free to bring any toys, beds, bowls and blankets their used to.
