Availability

I currently work full time in the NHS which is why I am only able to board on the weekends. If I had a pet, I wouldn’t allow them to be left more than 3 hours alone so I would never do that to yours. Please note, that for Friday evenings, I will be available only from 6pm due to my work.

I have a 7ft fenced back garden and I am fortunate enough to be living near some nice country parks and the beach. I do not have a dog but do see Roxy, a miniature schnauzer often as she is my parents dog. If your dog is friendly and happy to meet others, she would happily play and show them around the neighbour hood! I am more than happy for you to come to my home to do a meet and greet should you wanted to board them for a night or two!

Please let me know if you dog has any special needs, dietary requirements, medications or challenging behaviours (I.e resource guarding, separation anxiety etc) so I can ask you how to best manage them. You know them best!

A typical day

I’m lucky to be close to the beach and big green spaces in south hetton. I will keep your dog both physically and mentally stimulated with games and walks and allow them to sleep it off on the sofa!

Sam was very friendly, and immediately put us at ease on the meet and greet. Sam provided regular updates about our dogs stay with her. This was the first time our dog was looked after by anyone other than family and she was very well looked after, with multiple long walks during her stay. We would highly recommend Sam and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Samantha was amazing with Gypsy from the onset. We had a meet & greet first and Gypsy felt right at home straight away. She also sent a video which made this nervous parent completely relax. Highly recommend and we will definitely book Samantha again for all our weekends away.

This is the second time we've had Samantha look after Nugget. Nugget was so happy to see Samantha again, and barely acknowledged us leaving. We got some great photos and video, from samantha, which was great to see Nugget so relaxed. We would book Samantha again for any weekends away

Samantha is lovely and Lexi had a great time staying with her. We did a meet and greet before Lexi stayed over and we could tell straight away that she was happy playing with Samantha and all the new toys. Would highly recommend Samantha and we will definitely be asking her to look after Lexi again. Thank you Samantha.
