Sam has watched our dog Poppy for 4 years - since she was a puppy for both daycare and boarding. We could not imagine better care for our pup, Poppy absolutely loves going and we knew she was in good hands. Cannot say enough positive things about Sam - we are sad to see her go!!

Sam cared for my two maltipoos, Virgil and Georgie, for almost 4 years. They spent two full days a week with her and a small group of small dogs in the London parks. She was always punctual, professional and responsible. My dogs adored her! Sam absolutely loves dogs which was very evident by how she spoke about them and how she cared for them. She kept them very safe and very happy. Sam was also excellent at feedback and communication. She kept in constant touch on WhatsApp with videos and photos. I trusted Sam with a key to our house as well. I can’t say enough good things about Sam! I highly recommend her and would be happy to speak with anyone interested in a reference.

Sam absolutely adores dogs, she has many years of experience caring for many different breeds and is wonderfully dedicated to her job. She helped care for our puppy since he was very young and was always extremely organised, reliable and easy to communicate with. With Sam the dogs in her care always come first and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Sam has looked after our dog since he was a puppy. He absolutely adores her. She has been a tremendous support to our family in looking after him. She is professional, reliable, organised and we trust her completely. She has a treat deal of experience and it shows in her dealings with the dogs she looks after. She became a good friend to us, and our dog, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
