Pet care experience

Active, loving dog carer in BCN

Hi, I’m Sam! I live in the Lesseps area of Barcelona and speak English, Spanish, and French. I offer dog walking, boarding, day care and drop-in visits for your dog. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life - there have always family dogs at home, so being around them feels completely natural to me. I’ve been walking dogs, caring for dogs, feeding dogs and making sure their needs are met for over 14 years - both my own dogs and walking/looking after friends’ dogs. Since moving to Barcelona I want to reconnect with dogs again! I’m passionate about making sure every dog in my care feels safe, stimulated, and genuinely well looked after. I’m responsible, reliable, and communicate proactively, I can send regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is happy. I’m fully comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds.

Sam is my go-to for looking after my dog while I’m away or walking him when I’m unable. Rufus loves going to see Sam, he takes him out for long walks and is so good with playtime and making sure he’s having sufficient enrichment. I trust Sam more than anyone else! He’s incredibly reliable and cares for Rufus like he’s his own dog! I’d 100% recommend Sam to anyone.

We trusted Sam with Bella and Cora when we had to go away for an emergency. He was excellent and communicated really well , with regular pupdates that we had asked him to send throughout the day. I would highly recommend Sam he is a natural.

Sam is so great with dogs. He’s kind, caring, reliable, and really attentive. He’s also patient and trustworthy, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet.

Sam loves animals! Dogs have been part of Sam's family for over 14 years and he is very capable and responsible about looking after and caring for, a pet. He is a reliable, kind and calm person who knows that a pet needs mental stimulation and playtime too. Sam very much understands that a pet is a devoted member of your family and will care for them in the best possible way. I can highly recommend Sam to look after your pet.

Schedule

Dog care is something I take seriously and plan around, not something I fit in around the edges. I’m currently between jobs, so I’m genuinely home throughout the day and available all day, that means boarded or day care dogs get real company and attention, not long stretches alone. Walks are built into the day as a genuine priority. I’m active and love being outside, so this suits me just as much as it suits the dog. I’m also happy to travel to you within a reasonable distance.

Safety, trust & environment

At home, I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and welcoming. We have a comfortable flat with a spacious terrace for fresh air and some outdoor play, no other pets, and plenty of space to relax. I always stick to a dog’s existing routine as closely as possible — familiar feeding times, walks, and rest patterns make a big difference in helping a dog feel settled somewhere new.

A typical day

A typical day includes a proper walk — not just a quick loop around the block —, we have two large parks within a few minutes walk, time to relax at home, and plenty of attention throughout. I keep dogs on-lead in the city at all times unless in a designated off-lead area, and I tailor the day around each dog’s energy and needs.

I’m happy to discuss any specific routines, dietary needs, or quirks your dog might have before we get started. I treat every dog as an individual and take time at the start to understand your preferences and anything that will help your dog feel comfortable.
