Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are family 🤎
I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to ‘twilight’ years care. I grew up with three dogs from a little Lasa Apso to an Old English Gent, with a Corgi Mix in-between. I have experience of fully training my own Cardigan Corgi in the past, the most loyal soul and truly the “goodest boy”. He had an exceptionally sweet character, a dog lover himself and somewhat of a celebrity in our area 🤎 He reached a great age and we had the best life together. He taught me so much, and is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. WALKING and/or hiking: I am a qualified DofE walk leader for Hertfordshire, so I know the greatest adventures, terrain and many varied local routes. We can walk up to twice a day. With awareness and responsibility; I am a mindful and aware dog carer, especially in public places. Preemptive safety is always my priority. I build an engaging and thoughtful relationship with dogs, practicing communication and embedding routine. I talk to them and we learn together, getting to know each other. BOARDING: For me, owner communication is key, we will set up a meeting to gain an understanding of your dog and their daily routine, their specific requirements and ensure that they have as little disruption as possible whilst you are away. Your dog will be the main character, the whole story, it’s all about them! Most of all we will have fun. VISITS and playtime: A fully engaged and planned visit according to your needs; I will spend this time ensuring your dog knows they are a VIP and cared for. I use reaffirming language to create routine and build effective communication with your dog.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Samantha looked after my 6 month old puppy for daycare and Poppy had an amazing time! We did a call beforehand so I could tell her everything she needed to know and communication was excellent throughout. I got some lovely photos of the day too :) would 100% recommend.

Sam helped us when another dog sitter let us down. She was helpful and courteous. She took great care of Pippa and we would be happy to use her again.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My house is set back and accessed down a pathway, so away from the street; the front garden is fenced. I have a good sized fully secure and 6ft fenced rear garden. I am able to safely transport dogs with seat belts, a large hatchback area, and a soft cushioned bed in my vehicle. For those with mobility issues or for owners that want to restrict access upstairs; my stairs have a gate at the top & bottom. For walks I will also only walk with one dog at a time, or two dogs maximum from the same family. I have a current valid DBS check.
A typical day
I am able to safely transport dogs (if agreed by dog parent) to areas nearby for enrichment walks in woods and fields. I have local walks nearby in parks and access to fields. I can walk for as long as they are used to and as often. I have a variety of games and challenges for your dogs to keep them happy.
