Pet care experience

Experienced dog walker & cat sitter

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets and animals. I’m out walking dogs every day, and do regular cat drop ins. I have my own insurance and DBS check. I’ve had cats and dogs all my life, and I’m confident caring for them with love and patience. I tailor walks to the dogs requirements. I can do slow and gentle walks to longer more energetic walks for the higher energy breeds! I can do regular drop ins while you are working, or just while you are on holiday. You can feel relaxed knowing your pets will be well cared for. I can give as much love and affection as required! I have experience of young to elderly, happy to give meds. I have dealt with medical conditions in both cats and dogs. I’m also great at handling any medical emergencies should they arise, and getting whatever help may be needed immediately. I’m confident with feeding, cleaning, playing and giving a lot of love, and understanding the individual needs of each pet. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your dog or check in on your cat, I’ll treat them all with as much care and respect as if they were my own. I’m reliable, gentle, and happy to follow detailed care instructions — and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos. Looking forward to meeting your amazing animals!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to get to know each animal and follow your instructions carefully — whether it’s a gentle walk for a nervous dog, or a calm visit for a shy cat. I’ll keep your pets in their familiar routines, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding, medication, or enrichment needs. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own, and will always provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you feel confident your pets are in safe hands.

Sam was brilliant throughout our 11 days away, always communicative, always punctual and reliable, and tremendously reassuring in both her care and professionalism for looking after both our timid 4-yr old cat and the safety of our house each day. I would have no hesitation in booking her again - we were really worried to go away for such a long time. Her attention and care for our cat was such that we could relax and enjoy the holiday, safe in the knowledge that our family member was properly looked after. Thank you Sam!

Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our two cats when we went away to get married. She gained their trust very quickly and always sent us great photos of them playing and getting a fuss, as well as written updates. She went above and beyond, and will be our first choice for pet care

Sam was great looking after our cat, who seemed to love her after one visit. Sam kindly agreed to meet before I confirmed the booking and handed over my house keys, and I had not been able to find anyone else willing to do that, so was very much appreciated. Visits were as arranged, cat content, us very happy. She was reliable,sensible and willing to spend time keeping our cat company for half an hour, as requested. I had to amend the booking before our return and she responded within minutes. Very much hoping she will be available for future bookings. I would recommend Sam to you.
