Hello I'm Sam and welcome to my profile.
Vegetarian, non-smoker and free thinker! I've been pet and house sitting for 2 years and I love it! All creatures great and small from zany spaniels to quirky budgies. No pet in my care goes without the love, affection and long walks (if applicable) they deserve. I love the forest and keeping fit so any pooch in need of good runs (for want of a better word!) will certainly get them, plus plenty of ball throwing of course.
I'm a business owner working predominantly from home so my availability throughout the month is often pretty good. I work in human behavioural consultancy and personal coaching but I'm also a qualified and insured Equine Reiki practitioner as I just love horses. Some of the most rewarding work I have done is to help with the healing of injured and orphaned horses. Horses, however, are not so easy to fit into a house so dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, chickens, and hamsters are all household pets I've had of my own and/or experience with.
Reliability is something I value highly so I'm committed to ensuring all booked sits are carried out to your expectations including making sure any house plants are kept watered, the mail is picked up and your home is always kept as clean and secure as you left it. I drive with my own car so you have the added assurance that there will be a car on your driveway overnight.
At present, due to work appointment constraints, I can only offer overnight house/pet sitting and dog walking at a rate of £10ph hour for one dog and an additional £5ph for 2 dogs within a 5 mile radius of Ringwood, Hampshire.
If pet sitting, I am more than happy to ensure you get regular updates including photos of your
beloved four-legged/toed/feathered friend (if required, of course, no one likes to be spammed unwarrantedly, myself included!)
I am currently between houses so sadly I cannot have any pets of my own at the moment to nurture; hence why I am here on Pawshake. Having a relatively new company I am hoping more sitting will help me earn some extra money to expand my business. Outside of the working and animal world I sing in Rock Choir and love dancing, traveling and yoga.
Equine & animal Reiki Practitioner. Whilst I have the skills and qualifications animal healing is not included as part of my sitting services.
