Keen to look after docklands pooches!

Pet care experience

I'm that annoying person who will stop you in the street and strike up a conversation just to fuss over your dog. Although an avid dog lover, my work and social life at this moment does not allow me to a full-time dog daddy. However, the time I do spend with dogs, those of friends and family, I tend to spoil them rotten, always treating them as if they were my own. I love to shower them with affection, and i'm particularly fond of a long walk or jog. In a formal setting, in 2019/2020, I spent three months looking after injured street dogs and cows at the Animal Aid shelter in Udaipur, India. This taught me a lot about dog behaviour, particularly approaching more nervous dogs. To give you some background about myself, I live in a flat in leafy Silvertown, right next to Thames Barrier Park and the Royal Docks. I work in software and my job permits me to work from home regularly. However I usually venture into a WeWork (co working) office space at least two days a week. These offices are completely dog friendly, set up to support workers bringing their pooches to work. As such, I’m happy to accommodate in both settings. Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to message me. I look forward to sitting your canine companion soon!

AMAZING! This was the first time I had used a sitter because Nacho hates being away from home, and to be honest I was a little nervous. However Sam was great!! Nothing was too much trouble for him and I got regular updates and photos when I was away. Would definately recommend and use again!

Sam regularly looks after our dog Django. He always gives him constant attention and loves taking him for long walks. As such, they get on very well together. Django is always at ease when he’s with Sam, both at our house and his apartment.

Sam is a kind and trustworthy individual who loves animals, particularly dogs. He is diligent and caring and lives with two other dog lovers who will give your dog all the love, care and attention it could possibly want. He is an active individual who enjoys walking and will be attentive to your dogs needs. I trusted him to look after my West Highland terrier whilst I was undergoing a hip operation. My dog fell in love with him instantly and they still share a great bond to this day.

A caring, kind and trustworthy Animal lover. Sam looked after my dog, Havana three days a week when I worked down in Brighton. He would walk Havanna as well as feed her just before I picked her up. One sunny afternoon me and my partner invited Sam and his friends for a BBQ in the park behind our house - Sam and his housemates played ball with Havanna all evening - she loved it. A lovely young man who always responded to my text messages quickly. I'm sure your doggy will have no problem with Sam.

I work from home Monday and Friday, and I tend to work from dog friendly offices (WeWork) the rest of the week (although this is completely flexible). As such, I’m happy to accommodate in both settings. For dog walking/drop in services, I’m happy to pop by early morning, during my lunch break or after 5PM for those in the Silvertown/Royal Docks area. I’m also able to accommodate overnight days on weekdays.
