About Samantha
Hi! My name is Sam, a 27 year old female. I am a bubbly, sociable person especially when it comes to socialising with our furry friends - I absolutely adore animals :) I am available for pet sitting at my house (day or overnight) and also available for dog walking.
I have been looking after cats and dogs for a number of years now so would be more than happy to help.
I work as an Architect and my partner runs his own marketing business. Both of our schedules however, are super flexible, with both of us being able to WFH, or if your pet loves being around people, I can also take them to the office with me.
I have a high fenced garden, giving your pet access to fresh air and toilet breaks whenever they need :) My partner and I have grown up around pets, therefore you can be rest assured they will be looked after with a lot of love!
Kensington & Chelsea / Hammersmith is full of amazing walking spots! I live very close to Normand Park, a smaller but perfect park for walking, and then slighter further away but accessible are Hyde Park & Holland Park. Additionally, we are lucky to be close to the river thames path which is a gorgeous scenic route. As you can tell my partner and I love walking and being outdoors, which is perfect for your pet! We will of course cater to their needs :)
I would need to know ahead of sitting: breed, size, age, daily habits (good and bad!), routine, friendliness with others, distractions (eg mad over a squirrel), recall, lead or no lead, food times/amounts etc.
I started pet sitting whilst I was an undergraduate, it seemed like the easiest way to pay my way through uni whilst also being able to keep on top of my work!! I then carried on doing it through my masters and I still do it now having been working in London for the past 3 years :)
I have experience with multiple dogs at a times, so this is not an issue if you just require a day care service, however over night I would probably limit my flat to only 1 dog. I used to do house/pet sitting at the owners house but due to needing my WFH set up, it would be easier for me to have your pet here :)
I live in West Kensington with my partner in a 75m2 2 bed flat with a high fenced secure patio area, giving your pet access to fresh air and toilet breaks whenever they need :)
They will have their bed set up in the living space either in the corner of the room if they like feeling protected or we can move this over near the sofa if they like feeling involved with the hoomans.
