I am a huge animal lover, who will look after your pets as though they were my own, and have been a pet sitter for over five years with Pawshake.
I started pet sitting when I was renting and so couldn't have a pet of my own, and while I now have two cats since buying my home, I love giving animals the attention they deserve whilst their owners are away,
I studied animal care at college and university (National Diploma in Animal Management for two years, and Bsc (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare for three years) which I joined because whilst at the age of 15/16 I didn't know what I wanted to do, I did know that I wanted to work with animals, and this hasn't changed in the many years since I graduated,
I have had a range of animals as pets through my life, including dogs, cats, hamsters, ducks and horses.
The welfare of animals is a huge priority for me, so you can be sure that the care your pets receive will be to the highest standard.
I am available for home visits in the mornings and evenings, or house sitting to care for your animals , which will include feeding, changing the water for fresh and cleaning out any litter trays/pens. Also included is lots of play time with your pet - playing with toys, grooming them, or just giving them a fuss (this is catered for each pet as they all have different personalities, likes and dislikes).
You will receive pictures and updates with how your pet is doing, to ensure that your mind is at ease, and you can enjoy your time away.
Please note - Due to recent circumstances, I am only accepting house sitting for any clients who have previously used this service regardless of timescale. I am happy to receive requests for house visits. I am sorry for any inconvenience, and I will amend this update when the situation changes
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Sam is a very caring person, our pet is in the best hands when we are away
Sam has always been really reliable and communicative. Cats were happy too!
