Excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend and plan on using her as a sitter again.

Sam is a dog lover, through and through! When she sees a dog, her heart just melts. She gives them so much love and affection, and she is excellent at giving them everything they need for a comfortable and safe stay. Sam is also so responsible and so responsive, giving cute photos and updates during the stay. Sam has been my #1 go-to dog sitter since she met my puppies 12 years ago! Highly recommended!!

Samantha is amazing with our pet!! We could not be happier with the love and care our dog receives from Sam. She treats our pup like her own and goes above and beyond ! It gives me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby is in such good hands when I can’t be there . The true test is how excited my dog gets every time Sam walks in the house. A true gem. I highly recommend Sam for all your pets needs !!

Samantha is my daughter-in-law so I have seen her with several dogs. She and I got dogs about the same time 12 1/2 years ago. In June last year, we both lost them a week apart. Although I know that she and my son are not quite ready to get their own dog she is amazing with them. She would walk them to the beach and play with him, and in general, she was wonderful with all dogs. As she was like the dog whisperer,, the dogs all loved her too. She was just a kind person who would be very good at this. I would recommend her to anyone.

Samantha is the BEST! I HIGHLY Recommend her!! My dogs Arthur and Georgia LOVE when she pulls in and adore her! Lucky to have her. It’s a great feeling knowing Samantha loves my pups as much as I do.

I’ve entrusted Samantha with the exceptional care of my two dogs over the past fifteen years, on numerous occasions. Firstly Teddy, my labradoodle and now Lula, who is mixed breed. Both dogs have been on the receiving end of Samantha’s undivided loving and patient attention. In short, my dogs adore her! I have every confidence in her caring for my dogs, as if they were her own. I highly recommend Samantha for anyone requiring dogcare, your dog will be in best experienced and capable hands!

Safety, trust & environment

You can trust me to keep your pets safe, engaged and happy in my home. Your pet will have free range in my house which is dog friendly. I can provide a dog bed, blankets and towels etc. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a safe and spacious environment for outdoor play. If your pet requires medication I am happy to give as necessary.

A typical day

I believe in active play and enrichment, so I will provide toys/balls and make sure your pet receives morning, afternoon and evening walks. If your dog enjoys a slower pace of life, I make lots of time for one on one attention. I can give basic grooming like cleaning, brushing and paw care.
