Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Friendly Animal Lover
🐕 I've loved animals all my life and grew up with both cats and dogs. For the last 10 years, I have looked after other people's pets, providing overnight house-sitting, daily walks or twice-a-day drop in visits. I genuinely love walking and am more than happy to do up to two 1-hour walks a day to keep your dog active and happy. When I care for your pet, they get my full attention, plenty of love, and a consistent routine. 🐈 Cat Sitting: I am equally happy caring for cats, whether they prefer lots of playtime or just someone to check in on them and let them know they're not alone. 🌟 My Experience • Senior & Routine Care: I have a decade of experience looking after elderly dogs, keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their familiar schedules. • Medication: I am patient and comfortable administering daily medications, including eye drops and oral liquids. • Leash Safety: I am very used to walking dogs that need to stay on the lead due to reactivity with other animals, and I always stay alert outdoors - I won't be looking at my phone while I'm with your dog!

Ratings and reviews
We were so happy with Samantha who came to look after our dog Monty for a weekend at very short notice. Sam replied quickly, sent us lots of photos and updates and enjoyed lovely long walks with Monty, he was really relaxed and happy with her. We would 100% recommend and will be using her again for sure 😀
I have known Sam for about 30 years and can testify to her absolute honesty and kindness. I have had three cats during this time and know she has enjoyed playing and spending time with them. I have also seen how she interacts with friends’ dogs and have seen how patient and caring she is with them as well. She’s both gentle and confident around them and they always seem to be very fond of her. I can say without doubt she’s a true animal lover and would be a real asset to your team of pet carers.
The perfect pet caregiver Samantha has looked after our beloved Manchester Terrier Friia on many occasions, both shorter and longer periods. We always knew Friia would be in the best of hands, just by judging by how excited she was to go there and the way she rushed into the house to greet her when we arrived. Samantha looked after her in a very caring and conscientious way, taking great care to ensure that she was comfortable, feeding her, administering medicine when needed etc, plus taking her on long and varied walks. We couldn't have found a better petsitter.
I share many hours of dogwalking with Samantha over the last years caring for the pets of others and can only say that she is a true animal lover,sensitive to their needs, patient and totally responsible. And somehow the dogs we cared for just loved her immediately as one loves a kindred spirit.
