Pet care experience

Experienced Pet & House Sitter!♥️🐾

Hello, I’m Sammy! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including both cats and dogs, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. I have experience with pets of all ages, from energetic young animals to elderly pets and those with ongoing health conditions. I understand that each stage of life requires a different level of patience, awareness, and care. I’m calm, observant, and very routine-focused, which is especially important for senior pets or animals who may be anxious, slower, or need extra reassurance. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping pets to their normal schedules, and providing a gentle, steady presence while their owners are away. I genuinely take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, and I treat every animal as an individual rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own home environment, while giving owners complete peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

Primarily care for pets in their own homes through house sitting, as I live in a house share and don’t offer pet care in my own home. I find that many pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment, following their usual routines. When house sitting, I provide attentive, routine-based care including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if required, and companionship. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and settled while maintaining their normal schedules as closely as possible. I always treat clients’ homes with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, tidy, and secure, and leaving it exactly as I found it. My aim is to provide reliable, stress-free care for both pets and owners, with complete peace of mind while they’re away.

House Sitting • Jun 28, 2026

Sam stayed at ours for 9 nights & days to look after our 13 year old dog Sky with additional care requirements. We felt relaxed and confident the whole time and Sky looked well cared for even in the extreme heat that occurred during that time. Will definitely book again.

Samantha was very punctual and has great communication. The dogs were very happy with their company and would definitely be having Sam back for more sits.

Sammy is an amazing petsitter! She looked after our ancient cat and spritely dog for a long weekend and we are very happy we left them with her. Both received the care and cuddles they needed and she kept us up to date. Sammy also handled our dog’s pill regimen with ease. As an added bonus, the flat was immaculate when we returned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sammy to others looking for a reliable petsitter.

Sammy is amazing!! She is so kind, and patient. She asks great questions to get to know what our dog needs and was great at communicating. We can't wait to use her again and we'd recommend her to everyone!

Sammy looked after our 2 cats for 5 days while house sitting, and we couldn’t be happier. The cats were clearly well cared for. It was so nice to come home to a clean and tidy house too. We will definitely recommend and use her services again for future house/cat sits. Cheers!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I work remotely and can work from anywhere. This means I’m home and available throughout the day, with full attention to the animals in my care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, medication if needed, and general companionship, without anything feeling rushed. My flexibility allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual needs and keep them comfortable, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away.
