I have recently returned from an exciting 10 months of traveling and am currently enjoying a flexible schedule while I job hunt. The great news for your pet is that this means I have ample time and energy to dedicate to their care! Pet sitting is my main focus right now. While I may take the occasional agency shift, my schedule is completely open, and I can easily work these around your pet's needs and routine, ensuring no interruptions to feeding, walking, or play time. Your dog (or cat!) will have my near-undivided attention and all the love they can handle.

Safety, trust & environment
My top priority when house sitting is maintaining your dog's safety, comfort, and routine within their familiar surroundings. Here is how I guarantee a worry-free stay: • Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your established feeding, medication, and walking schedule exactly. Consistency is key to a dog's emotional and physical well-being. • Mindful Walks: On walks, your dog will remain leashed at all times unless we are inside a fully fenced and secure area. I am highly vigilant about monitoring for foreign objects they might try to eat, and using clear recall practice. • Emergency Preparedness: I always confirm the location of your vet's contact information and emergency contacts before you depart. I also stay familiar with the quickest route to the nearest emergency clinic, just in case. • Open Communication: I provide frequent updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy, and I will contact you immediately if any concern or unusual behavior arises. Ultimately, I treat your home and your dog with the same level of care and vigilance that I use for my own two Dachshunds. You can relax knowing all safety bases are covered.
Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet
To ensure a smooth experience, I need to know your pet's essential information. This includes their established daily routine, any behavioural nuances (e.g., leash reactivity, fear triggers), dietary restrictions, and full details of any required medications or specific care needs. As well as things they enjoys and their dislikes too.
A typical day
A typical day with my dog is packed with fun! We start with an energetic morning walk, followed by playtime using their favorite squeaky toys. The afternoon includes stimulating enrichment activities, like a puzzle feeder or scent games. The day always ends with cozy cuddles and belly rubs.

Cat care experience
As a nurse, I have a passion for caring for others and ensuring their well-being. This passion extends to my love for cats, where I find joy in providing them with the same level of care and attention. I have a lot of experience with cats, I grew up with my family cat Pebbles and on occasion I look after my sisters cat. I have been pet sitting for a few years now. I am patient, reliable, and committed to ensuring that your furry friend is in good hands while you're away. As a cat sitter, I offer a range of services to ensure that your pet is happy and well-cared for. This includes feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, cuddles, playtime, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I also offer house sitting services such as overnight stays and watering plants. I understand that cats have different personalities and preferences, so I always take the time to get to know your cat and their needs. Additionally, I know how important it is to stay connected with your pet while you're away, which is why I provide photo and video updates so you can feel reassured that your cat is in good hands. My goal is to provide an stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
Reviews
Samantha was a great cat sitter for my cat Penelope. It was lovely to get daily updates and pictures from her each day and I returned home to a very happy cat :)
Samantha was super friendly and went beyond our expectations we had for looking after our cat. She was on time and respected our specific requirements for our little friend. Thank you so much for taking such good care of George and I’ll be recommending you to our friends.
Samantha took care of our Burmese babies with exceptional care. She stayed at our house for over a week and I felt utterly confident leaving our cats in her capable hands. Highly recommend and will book again for future visits.
Samantha was so excellent, we cannot recommend her enough. We were away for ten days from our elderly cat and had been worried about this but we came home to a very happy girl and everything was spotless. Thank you so much!
