ABOUT ME

My name is Samantha and I am an American expat who has been living in London for five years with my husband and our beloved dog, Buffy. We both work jobs that allow us to largely work from home, which is great, but also means that I love to get out and go for walks with Buffy whenever possible!

I grew up pretty rurally back in the US with a lot of animals (we had several cats, rabbits and guinea pigs in our family home). I was a frequent visitor to our local animal shelter, often bringing in food/toys/supplies and spending time cuddling the animals.  

As an adult, I had a house rabbit in Los Angeles and also started dog walking with a similar service (called ‘Wag!’) on weekends and after work in the evenings as I loved dogs, but we weren’t able to have any in our home there.

When we moved to London, we picked a flat with a garden solely because we wanted to bring a dog into our lives. Buffy is a very spoilt Alaskan Klee Kai who gets along great with other dogs. We have frequently pet sit for other Klee Kai in London - for as long as month at a time. I love having other dogs around and think walks are 10000x more fun with four-legged friends!

Because Buffy goes to her own daycare twice a week (we like to have her socialised with other people and dogs without us for her own sake!), we only accept vaccinated pets for walks and daycare.
