Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, reliable and trustworthy pet care
I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 13 years and currently share my home with two wonderful dogs, Nala the Golden Retriever and Groot the Miniature Dachshund. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I often look after the pets of family and friends when they need an extra hand. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler approach, so I understand the different needs at every stage of life. Because I live with pets myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra care for older pets, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow the daily routine their owners have set, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or cuddle time, so the pets feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. I also give plenty of love and attention, making sure they’re not just cared for, but truly comfortable and happy. Along with pet care, I respect the home itself, keeping it tidy and treating it the same way as my own.
Ratings and reviews
I can highly recommend Samantha. She took exceptional care of my dog Ollie while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and even a few videos, which really reassured me that Ollie was not just being looked after, but truly enjoying his time with Samantha. Her genuine love and understanding of animals was evident as soon as we met, and I will definitely be using her services again.
Sam has lots of experience with dogs large and small, quiet and boistrous. She is caring and attentive, and loves spending time with four legged friends. Your pups will be in great hands and have tonnes of fun with Sam 😊
Sam has a real love for animals, she is great with my sassy Weimaraner. Her chilled out nature makes me feel at ease when she walks/looks after Wilma. Having pets herself, she has a full understanding of their needs and a very caring nature. She is reliable, professional, trustworthy and communicative. I could not recommend Sam enough as a pet sitter!
Samantha was a great sitter for our two cats and dog. Communication was excellent, and we felt confident leaving our pets in their care. While we were away, she sent updates and photos, showing how well the pets were settling in. Our dog got plenty of exercise and love, and the cats were clearly well cared for too. We came home to a clean house and very content pets. I'd definitely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring sitter.
Samantha was absolutely amazing, my pup was being abit cheeky in her cage and samantha offered to come earlier to check on her. She played with my pup for the duration of time and fed her, she was great! Definitely recommend and will continue to use her service😊
Samantha is very professional & has a great knowledge of dogs. My two are always happy in her care & are always well looked after.

Schedule
Because I work from home, pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I’m already caring for my own dogs and cat throughout the day, which means regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention are just part of my day. Adding in care for other pets fits seamlessly, I can easily adjust my day to include drop-ins, walks, or extra cuddle time.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgSamantha can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- It’s always helpful to know a few things about your pet ahead of time so I can give them the best possible care: • Their daily routine (feeding times, walk schedule, nap times, etc.) • Any medical needs, medications, or health concerns • How they get along with other pets or people • Favorite activities, toys, or comfort items • Any quirks, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of (eg. barking at strangers, nervous with loud noises, pulling on the lead) The more I know about what makes your pet happy and comfortable, the better I can tailor their care.
