Sammy

I currently work for the RSPCA in School for Pets as a dog trainer and in shelter as a behaviour trainer.

Animals are my passion in life and I want to spend some more time with them in my local community.

At home I have my a foster cat or two, but grew up with dogs.

I welcome dogs big and small. Growing up I had a silky terrier cross Maltese. I would also regularly visit my grandparents on a sheep farm who had 3 working kelpies, so I have experience with a variety of sizes.

I am an active individual and would love to take some animals out for walks to get them some fresh air during the day.

I offer 30 minute walks. Let me know if your dog has a preferred route, otherwise we can go for an explore. I’m a big fan of sniff safaris as a form of enrichment for your pup!

I also offer 45 - 60 minute home visits. I will make sure your dog has had a good walk and has a full bowl of water before I leave. If you would like I can also water plants and bring in the bins, just let me know what you need! And of course there will be lots of cuddles for your pets before I go.

Dog training can also be provided for an additional fee. This is one of my passions and love to provide dogs with mental stimulation.

I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs, so am more than happy to do that when arranged prior.

When working with animals I use positive reinforcement and force free methods. I will only ever do something your pet is comfortable with. I do not believe in forcing things into do something they are uncomfortable with.

I am happy to take photos or videos for you, so you can see what is going on with your pet in real time!
