It’s like a dog hotel but better ;)
Pet care experience
With over 17 years experience caring for pets you could definitely say I have a love for animals! I take my time getting to know your needs as the pet owner plus always being tedious about your pets needs. Working from home has allowed me the capability of being with not just my pets but also yours (if you choose me to sit for you). I like to start my day by taking the pups for a walk and then providing them their breakfast and treat. My home has a dog door to the backyard so if they need to go to the bathroom between morning and afternoon potty breaks they can! After work (around 4ish) I go for an early evening walk then feed them dinner and right before bed is one last potty break. The best way to care for pets I’ve found is to be aware of what they need. Some may require extra amounts of playtime while others want brain stimulating activities. Being aware and understanding of the pets needs will help with a successful sitting!
Reviews
Sam stayed with my 2 senior dogs while I was in London. My dog Miley is challenging and takes time to warm up to new people but Sam was able to take her on walks, etc. Sam did a wonderful job and kept me updated via texts and pictures. I would absolutely have her stay with my dogs again!
Samantha was amazing - took our booking last minute and went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She made sure he got plenty of exercise, and sent photo updates throughout the stay. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! Samantha is Amazing! I can’t tell you how nice it is that I didn’t have to worry once about my little girl!! Thank you so so much!
Samantha was so communicative and responsive. She took great care of our Imo and we will definitely be using her again!

My whole yard is fenced and locked! It is pretty impossible for a runaway expert to find their way off my premises. I also have a good amount of space for the pups to run around in and play games.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet
Knowing their everyday routine is crucial! See below for details: Eating schedule How to feed them What makes them happy Medications Training Social with cats, dogs, people? First time with a sitter? Anxiety of any kind Grooming needs (this could vary, please understand that if additional grooming is required there might be an additional charge) Exercise needs Things like that are of top priority. When we schedule a meet and greet I love to have the pet owner walk me through the daily routine including how they are fed so that I can indefinitely know how to care for their pet as accurately as possible. For cats I need to know how you clean and care for their litter and also eating habits as well.
