Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover & trusted sitter🐶🐾
I’ve grown up around dogs and had Boxers throughout my childhood, from birth until I moved out at 18, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Since then, I’ve looked after a range of breeds including Dobermans, Labradors, Collies, Shih Tzus, Cavapoos and Dachshunds. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I live in a flat with access to a spacious shared garden, and I’m less than 10 metres from a large park, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. I genuinely love having dogs around and will make sure yours gets plenty of attention, company, exercise and cuddles while they’re with me. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions and send regular photos and p’updates 🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Samantha is a bright, caring and bubbly person. She is a dog lover through and through. Growing up with dogs, she is wholly used to their temperament and affection, as well as being able to read their emotions well. She looks after my dog regularly, so much so, my pooch is completely obsessed with her; giving her the biggest welcome with happy ‘honks’ to accompany her wags. Samantha cares about nutrition, making sure pooches are well fed, as fed correctly.
I couldn’t recommend my daughter highly enough as a dog walker, sitter and carer. She has always been a huge dog lover and has a natural kindness, patience and caring nature when it comes to animals. She genuinely loves our four-legged friends and treats every dog as if they were her own, with plenty of affection, attention and respect for their individual needs and personalities. She is extremely responsible, trustworthy and conscientious, and takes animal welfare very seriously. I have no doubt that any dog in her care would be safe, happy and very well looked after. She would be a wonderful choice for anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their beloved dog. 🐾❤️

Schedule
I work full-time but have a very flexible schedule. I spend around 8 days each month working away in Orkney, and the rest of my time is split between working remotely and in the office. With enough notice, I can easily arrange my working plans around bookings, giving me plenty of flexibility to be at home with your dog. I’m also available most evenings and weekends and love getting out for plenty of walks! 🐾

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two-bedroom flat with access to a shared garden and a large park less than 10 metres from my door, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific requirements to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’m also more than happy to meet beforehand for a walk in a public area so you and your pup can get to know me, or arrange a home visit before boarding so you can see where they’ll be staying. 🐾
A typical day
Your dog’s day will be tailored to what they enjoy! We’ll have plenty of walks in the large park beside my home, lots of sniffing and exploring, games and playtime, as well as plenty of downtime and cuddles. I’m happy to stick to their normal walking, feeding and sleeping routine so they feel as settled and at home as possible.

- I’d love to know as much about your dog as possible beforehand – their usual routine, personality, likes and dislikes, feeding requirements and any medical or behavioural needs. Please also let me know how they are around other dogs and people, their recall and anything they may be nervous or reactive around. I’m comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes!
