Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & conscientious drop-ins and daycare
Trustworthy and friendly, I offer reliable drop-in services, walks, and doggy daycare. I’m fully insured, and DBS checked, and I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality—always with regular updates and plenty of attention. I share my home with a happy dog of my own. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, or just some chilled-out company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. DROP-INS Some dogs feel happiest at home. My drop-in visits let your dog stay in their own familiar environment, follow their usual routine, and avoid a busy daycare environment. Whether they need a quick toilet break, some fun and playtime, or a bit of company, I’m here to provide the one-on-one care and attention they need. I also offer drop-in visits for cats. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or a friendly check-in while you’re out, I’ll make sure your cat is comfortable and content in their own home. You’ll receive regular photos and updates so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Ratings and reviews
Sam looked after Buxton for a few days over the weekend and did a lovely job. Buxton was happy and settled when we got home, and Sam was friendly and easy to communicate with throughout. Would happily book again — thank you, Sam!
Samantha was so great with Bailey! Such a doll and sent me updates with pictures of him while I was traveling and my husband was at work. Really appreciate her efforts and patience with him. He had a lovely walk and really took to Sam well. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!
Samantha and her daughter did an excellent job looking after our cat! Communication was quick and clear, received daily updates and pictures and they even went an extra mile to wait for us to come back first before dropping off the keys in case of a delayed flight. Thank you both again! Definitely recommend!
Sam has been a great help with our dog Finn. She’s very communicative and attentive to his needs. Thank you!
Sam has been the absolute best we’ve worked with— responsive, great with our dog, and extremely dependable!
Nala had a lovely stay! Sam kept us well updated and looked after nala so well, she even let her borrow a jumper! Will definitely keep in touch :)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I offer doggy daycare, drop-ins, and walks, and I’m always alert and careful during walks — avoiding busy roads and unfamiliar dogs unless discussed. I also offer drop-in visits for cats, ensuring they feel safe, calm, and cared for in their own environment. I have a car for quick travel between bookings and to stay flexible in case of last-minute needs. For daycare, your dog will have a calm, pet-friendly space to relax and play.
