Highlights
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!

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Sam was very communicative and friendly, she was able to be flexible to the times we needed. She sent messages and photos of our cat Teddy while we were away which was reassuring to see. It was our first time using a cat sitter and we’d definitely do it again and recommend Sam. Thank you.
Sam looked after our duggee for 3 hours whilst we were out, he enjoyed his time with her and she contacted us throughout will definitely use again and thank you so much for having our human clingy dog lol x
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!
Sam was great in keeping me updated with how my cats were getting on and sent photos . Fantastic communication would definitely book again for any future trips
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
Looked after Rosie very well, arrived promptly every day and got on really well with Rosie.Kept us updated with Pics. Would recommend Samantha to anyone.
