Dog Walking Neath Port Talbot

About: Hi I'm a current undergraduate Animal Behaviour and Welfare student with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Throughout my life, I've owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises, turtles, a crested gecko, a conure and the opportunity to volunteer with other small animals in college and various work experience placements, so I would be confident looking after a range of species. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting in the Neath Port Talbot area during weekends, university holidays and bank holidays. As a driver, I can travel through Neath and surrounding areas to provide suitable and reliable care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. My degree and previous work experience placement in a local cattery, pet store and a dog groomer's have helped me expand my understanding of animal Behaviour, Welfare and the individual requirements of each species, which I apply constantly when around every animal. Whether your pet is highly energetic and playful, elderly, or shy, I aim to provide attentive and compassionate care tailored to each of them. I am also Pet First Aid & CPR certified, so able to remain calm under pressure and provide your pets with the best care in an emergency. I understand how important trust is as an animal owner myself when leaving your pets and home in someone else's care. I will always keep you updated, send regular photos of how your pets are doing, follow your instructions carefully to stick to their usual routine as much as possible and treat your pets as if they were my own I look forward to meeting you and your animals! As a student, my availability varies throughout the academic year. I am regularly available on weekends, and available at most weekdays and weekends during university holidays (Easter, Christmas & summer holidays). I can provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting during these periods. I am always happy to discuss individual requirements and will always communicate my availability clearly before confirming a booking. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing will always remain my top priorities. I understand that every animal has its own routine, personality, and needs, and I always take the time to follow owners' instructions carefully, to ensure the best care and wellbeing for your pets. As a Pet First Aid & CPR Certified and Animal Behaviour and Welfare student, I have an understanding of animal behaviour, welfare, and recognising signs of stress or illness. I will always monitor your pet closely and contact you immediately if I have any concerns at all. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your property with the same respect I would my own. I aim to maintain your pet's normal routine, provide regular updates and photos, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to learn about your pet's routine, preferences, medical needs, and any behavioural considerations.

About: Growing up with dogs has enriched my life in ways words can't capture. From my earliest memories, loyal tails and wet noses were my constant companions, shaping my understanding of unconditional love and unwavering friendship. My journey with dogs has been a tapestry woven with shared adventures, joyful moments, and even those comforting times when their presence was solace enough. Each tail wag, each playful romp, and each quiet cuddle has etched unforgettable memories into my heart. This profound connection has nurtured my passion for pet care. With every dog, I see a chance to reciprocate the boundless joy they've brought me over the years. Your furry companions aren't just pets; they're treasured members of your family, and it's a privilege for me to offer them the love, care, and attention they deserve. Allow me to extend my hands and heart to your beloved pets, ensuring their happiness, health, and well-being. Because to me, pet care isn't just a service; it's a lifelong bond built on trust, respect, and a mutual adoration for our four-legged friends. Every day, I make room for furry friends in my routine. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, I'm home, dedicated to providing top-notch pet care. Even when I'm away at work other days, I bring them along, ensuring their happiness and well-being. Your pets will always have a special place in my day, no matter what. Caring for pets is a joy that I extend both within my loving home and at the pet owner's residence. With a secure fenced yard and a household filled with four friendly canine companions, my services are tailored to create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your cherished pets. In My Home: Your pets are welcomed into a warm and pet-friendly environment that mirrors the comfort of their own home. With a spacious fenced yard, they have room to play, explore, and stretch their legs. Regular walks, interactive play sessions, and cozy napping spots are all part of the daily routine.

In Your Home: I bring my dedicated care to your pets' familiar surroundings. This minimizes disruption and maintains their comfort while you're away. Visits include feeding, refreshing water, interactive playtime, and leisured strolls. Special attention is given to any specific needs, medical requirements, or routines your pets have. My goal is to ensure they feel secure and loved in their own home, providing you peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, my commitment to exceptional pet care remains unwavering. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own, enjoying a tailored experience that considers their unique preferences, energy levels, and overall well-being.

About: Hi, I'm Sam! I'm a 26-year-old long-time animal lover and experienced house & pet sitter based in Port Talbot. In 2022, I embarked on an 8-month trip around Australia with my partner George, most of which we spent house & pet sitting for local people in the destinations we visited - it helped us to get experience under our belt, save money on hotels and get some cuddles in the absence of our own pets. It was an amazing experience and we've since continued keeping people's pets company when they need it now that we're back home. I have more than 20 5* reviews from my experience so far. Some testimonials are below and some feedback is also shown on my profile, but I can send through all of the references I've been given to any interested pet owners - just drop me a message. I've grown up with pets and currently have a border collie called Meg and a grey cat called Daisy, both six-years-old. I'm experienced in administering different types of medication and working with shy, energetic, anxious and complex animals, so I have become highly confident in what I do. I'm a non-smoker, clean & tidy guest, and a fully remote worker so can ensure your pets have all the company they require. NOTE: George often joins me on overnight sits when agreed with the home owner. He loves to help out and has had plenty of experience, as demonstrated in our reviews. However this is completely up to the pet owner and what’s best for your home and pets! My services 🐾Overnight house & pet sitting (at pet's home) - including plant watering, mail collection and household maintenance. Both long and short term sits available. 🐾Dog walking - for as long as the dog requires and at location local to the dog's home (at the dog's favourite walk locations if desired) 🐾Day visits (full day care or quick feeding visits) - including plant watering and mail collection 🐾Day care (AT PET'S HOME ONLY) - sorry, I currently can’t have pets at my home as I’m undergoing renovations. However, I’m very happy to do day care at the pet’s home where agreed with the pet owner. Note that the day care option states it’s at my home regardless due to app settings. What clients said about us: 💬"Samantha & George looked after our dogs and house for 17 days. We couldn't be happier with the love and care they gave our extremely spoilt dogs. They sent us regular photos and updates and it was obvious the dogs loved them too. The house was cared for equally well. They are such a lovely, responsible couple who I couldn't recommend more highly." - Leonie & Phil, Busselton (Australia) 💬"Samantha & George were the most wonderful house sitters - we could not have asked for more from them. Their communication was excellent in the lead up and throughout the stay, sending photos and updates. They left the house in a very clean and tidy condition and our cats were very happy and healthy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking!" - Emma, Cooroy (Australia) 💬"OUTSTANDING... we couldn't be happier with Sam & George. They are lovely people. Our two pups were so well looked after. We returned to a beautifully clean house. What more could you possibly want? Thank you for being caring of our girls and respectful of our home. Highly recommend." - Maxwell, Tugun (Australia) 💬"Samantha and her partner George are an amazing couple, communicating with them was very easy and they are very comfortable people to have in your home. My two dogs clearly loved them and on my return they were very happy and obviously well looked after. My house was as I had left it, probably cleaner, they had washed all their linen and remade their bed. They are 5 star pet sitters and I highly recommend them." - Denise, Byron Bay (Australia) 💬"A truly delightful couple, Samantha & George are pet owners dream housesitters. They are honest, kind, clean & caring with a real love for animals, especially the ones they’re caring for. They kept me updated and took care of all my pets needs. The house was left spotless in my return too…If you are looking for pet/house sitters these guys should be on the top of your list. I only hope next time I need pet/house sitters that they are available. Thank you for taking such great care of my furbabies and my home.. you guys are AWESOME ⭐️🙏🏼♥️" - Maria, Sydney (Australia) 💬"Thanks so much Sam and George for looking after our place and most importantly, Mr Bluey! He was so happy and chilled when we got back it was a great relief- not that we were surprised at all :) Sam and George sent really cute updates about Bluey which really put our minds at ease knowing he was happy and looked after. Can’t recommend these wonderful sitters more and would happily have them again!" - Anita, Melbourne (Australia) 💬"The whole process with Sam and George can be summarised in one word, "easy". They were a dream to have come sit our 2 cats and 2 chickens. They were great communicators, left the house cleaner than they found it, and even took the liberty of washing their bedding (which we didn't ask them too, and was a very nice gesture!). They were great with communication the whole way through, sent us update photos during their stay and let us know when they had locked up and left. Coming home to a clean house and 2 VERY happy cats was a fantastic finish to our holiday. On a logistics note, they were happy to adhere to our feeding schedule for the cats, and kept the chickens water and feed full. It was clear to see the cats had been given ample play time and were not devoid of affection one bit. Also, they emptied/refreshed the litter box, and set out the cat food before they left so we wouldn't have to, which was awesome. Thank you Sam and George, would 10/10 have sit again!" - Jaden, Adelaide (Australia) More references available - message me for more info! I'm a remote and flexible worker so I fit my pet care responsibilities around my day job and work from wherever I am. This means I can be around to keep your pets company throughout the day, maintain regular routines, and take your dogs for the walks they need when they need them. I'm available every day of the week. I conduct meet and greets before the first service to learn about the pet(s), their behaviours, needs and any relevant features of the home itself. This is a chance to learn about their routines, what they eat, and anything else I need to be aware of. I never walk dogs off-lead and I am able to constantly supervise pets when needed.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I'm a caring, patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets, whether that's playing with them, giving them attention, or helping them stick to their usual routine. I work part time in a local school, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I aim to provide the utmost level of care and affection. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and having a great time. Throughout the day, I make time for play, cuddles, training, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I currently work part-time in a local school so have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve and ensure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after. A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I love being outdoors and am a confident walker, so your dog can enjoy long, enriching walks and lots of opportunities to explore.

I also have a small enclosed garden to keep your dog safe if they are staying with me and I'll make sure to keep you updated with messages and photos.

About: I’m a uni student and a big dog lover. I have a Jack Russell back home so I know what it’s like to be away from your baby and want the best care for them. I’ve also helped look after my friend’s Jack Russell, so I’m used to high-energy dogs and keeping them happy and active. I’m patient, reliable and I’d honestly love the chance to share some of the love I’m missing from my own dog while making sure yours feels safe, loved and cared for. I’m currently a student at Swansea University and I have classes in the mornings some days and some days in the late afternoon. I’m available to board at the weekends. When I’m in a pet owner’s home, I make sure to respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and settled. I pay attention to feeding times, walks, play, and any little quirks the pet might have. I also make sure to give regular updates so owners know their pet is in good hands. Our pets are quite literally our children and so I get that pet owners want updates every 5 seconds. It’s important to me that both the pet and their owner feel comfortable and at ease the whole time.

About: Dogs have always been in my life. My best friend Jake devastatingly passed away last year who with me and my dad had raised since a pup as a rescue Stafie. This bereavement has made me treasure dogs and all animals alike much more, they rely on us and give their unconditional love and I want to give back and make their lives filled with fun and enjoyment. I have experience with all sorts of dogs, from different breeds such as Staffies and Labrador, from young energetic balls of energy to the seniors who love and deserve to be pampered in their old age. I'm currently a final year animation student on my summer holidays and looking to look after our furry friends. My schedule is very flexible until September after this I will update my schedule to reflect this as soon as I know my class dates. For now however I am free every week day. I have a large front garden, and a back garden (not fenced), however lots of large fields, woodland and trails in my local area. I would care for your dog as my own and treat them as the best, they would be well fed and played with lots. I would be honoured to build a relationship with them, a relationship built on trust and loyalty, values that I have been brought up with and built upon with my own dog who is sadly no longer with us.
