Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet nurse always happy to help
Hi my name is Samantha. I am a registered veterinary nurse with a lifelong love for animals of all kinds — from dogs and cats to horses . I have many years of hands-on experience working with animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m confident caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets, as well as pets with medical or special needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priority. I offer dog walking, drop-ins, house sitting and cat care. I feel most dogs are happiest and least stressed in their own familiar environment. I’m also happy to stay during the day or overnight at your home to care for your pets. I am very happy to work closely with owners to tailor my care of their pet to exactly how they want it. Also if any pets are needing any post surgery care then I am happy to help with this to ensure the pet is getting the best care possible. My availability is generally very flexible, though it can occasionally change due to other veterinary work — feel free to message me to check current availability. Overnight rates may vary depending on the length of stay and number of pets, so please reach out for a personalised quote. I drive and have my own car, and I’m more than happy to travel. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. I’d love to meet you and your pets — please don’t hesitate to message me with any questions! Thanks so much for reading 🐾

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priority. As a qualified Veterinary Nurse, I’m trained to recognise signs of stress, illness, or injury and to respond calmly and appropriately. When caring for pets, I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and any special requirements. I ensure your pet is kept secure and provide regular updates for peace of mind. While in my care pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and supervised environment, with plenty of attention, enrichment, and rest. I use gentle, positive handling and only accept pets I know I can safely and comfortably care for.
Ratings and reviews
I was able to relax and really enjoy my night away knowing Samantha was with my Luna. She sent videos and photos and updates throughout the stay for further reassurance. Highly recommend!!
Samantha was brilliant with the cats, kept us up to date daily, with photos and reports. We couldn’t have asked for more. Will have no hesitation in asking Samantha to look after them again and would recommend her to friends.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a Veterinary Nurse, caring for animals is already a core part of my life, and I structure my schedule around ensuring each pet receives consistent, attentive care. I currently have flexible availability, which allows me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, day care, and overnight stays. While my schedule can occasionally change due to other veterinary work, I always communicate clearly and in advance, and I only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgSamantha can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- It’s really helpful to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes: Feeding schedule and dietary requirements Medical history, medications, or allergies Exercise needs and energy level Behavioural traits (shyness, anxiety, play style) How they interact with other pets or people The more I know in advance, the better I can keep them happy, safe, and comfortable, and make their experience as stress-free as possible.
