Pet care experience
A Pawstep into Pet Paradise
loved all animals since before I can remember. Been looking after and working with animals my whole life. I have my own dogs, ducks, chickens & quail I have a fully kitted van for the purpose of transporting animals. Air conditioning and custom made cages with safety hatches should an accident occur and a door not open. I also a people carrier in emergencies. I am fully insured, qualified in dog grooming, handling, walking & canine behaviour and Police checked etc references available at request. When dogs are with me they are part of my family. When here with me we are either at home, a gorgeous private secluded property deep in our local woodlands with a walled approx 1 acre garden or at my private stables with 30 acres fenced area to run free. A mixture of the local parks, beach trips, adventure walks Jeskins, bewl water, ashdown forest, scadbury And anywhere we and the poochies are welcome. Everyday is an adventure. Tailored to each dog and owners requirements. Anything requested can be catered to, I will do my upmost to keep the transition from your home to mine as easy as possible. Dogs that are very nervous or have bad separation anxiety welcome. I charge more for dogs that require a tailored service eg unhouse trained, chewers etc My house, in the middle of Oxleas Wood was chosen with animals in mind over people as you will see when you come to visit. Have a huge patio area that leads into a massive grassed and wooded secret garden, great for dogs that are never allowed off the lead as is like a mini park itself where they can roam free without getting lost. Slight difference in price for weekends just add £5 to the weekday prices for each service. Also £5 extra for last minute booking (on the day) x SOME OF WELLING, SOME OF THAMESMEAD, CHARLTON, WOOLWICH, PLUMSTEAD, SOME OF BLACKHEATH, SOME OF GREENWICH, ELTHAM AND SURROUNDING AREAS COVERED for pick up and drop off. Will go further for boarding. Picking up and dropping off is an additional service so is chargeable. Price depends on distance.

Ratings and reviews
Samantha is an ANGEL. She literally saved my dog: while I was already on holiday, I had a bad experience with another sitter unexperienced, she was making my baby suffer. I luckily found Samantha and she literally run to pick him up. Not only she is tremendously experienced with any breed, she checked him physically to make sure he was ok, she made him run free in the huge green space she has available and she calmed him down. When I came back home few days after I found my baby happy, relaxed and with a positive behaviour. I couldn’t recommend Samantha enough. She’s professional, dedicated and extremely respectful towards the owners. 1000 positive stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 thank you Samantha, Chapo can’t wait to see you again!
Chiku and Scooby are rescue dogs with lots of baggage. One is protective, while the other is highly reactive. This was the top concern for me when we started a search for a daycare that could handle them. When I reached out to Samantha after reading her profile, I thought I had found a good match--and I was right. Samantha immediately understood what we were dealing with and asked useful follow-up questions. I felt a sense of relief as she came to pick them up on Saturday morning. The dogs had a good day at her place and will certainly be going back there soon.
Samantha is just incredible!! Her knowledge and experience of dogs (and all animals) is amazing and she shows it effortlessly. Melvin absolutely loved his stay, and as anxious owners we are so happy to have found a sitter we can fully trust!! Thank you 🫶🏻
second time with samantha – PERFECT! i won’t go to anyone else now!!! she takes such good care of them x
Samantha has been been great looking after Oboe on such a short notice. She accommodated all of our and Oboe’s needs. If Oboe could talk, she’d also give a super positive review!
