Pet care fits into my routine extremely well. As an actor, I often have a flexible daily and weekly schedule and would be able to book in walks and play dates for mornings, afternoons or evenings depending on the preference. I am also an athlete, so getting out and active multiple times a day is a treat.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m currently not looking to provide pet care in my home but my love for your dog in the outside world or in your own space will go unmatched. I’m always sure to first familiarise myself with your dog’s life style choices and routines and fall into that as smoothly as possible

Information Samuel N. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have anything out of the ordinary I need to know about your beloved dog. To keep the pup as comfortable as possible, it would be most useful to know information on their day to day routine (food and walks), how they like to play, how they interact with other dogs and people, the house rules (of course!) and where they love scratches the most. At the end of the day, no one knows your dog better than you do! So if there are any important details to keep your dog safe and happy, I’m always open to more information.

A typical day

I like to be outside as much as I can and I find most dogs feel similarly, so I always try to maximise time in the outdoors and on some grass. Fetch and stick finding is always in style. I am aware that not all dogs have the same stamina for outdoor activities, and I thoroughly enjoy keeping them mentally stimulated inside as well, whether it’s a game of tug-of-war or preparing a snack puzzle. You will always know the best way to keep your dog entertained and I’m always glad to hear about it.

“A Trusted Buddy” - my sister’s dog

Pet care experience

I grew up with energetic Australian cattle dogs and have been lucky enough to have several gentle grey hounds adopted into the family. I’ve lived with and cared for many different roommate’s dogs of all shapes and sizes throughout the years and have dog sat for even more for family, friends and otherwise. My wide range of dog care experiences include comfortability with larger breeds, familiarity with leash-pullers, and willingness to match the energy of the senior dogs or the more active breeds. I live an extremely active lifestyle so I’m ready for any and all challenges your dog may, or may not throw at me. I love a game of fetch- I throw a mean tennis ball as well.
