Samantha

 Hi, my name is Sam and I would love to take care of your pets!  

I am available for pet care in both my home and yours, and will always treat your pets like my own. I am a true animal lover and have had pets my entire life. I have had dogs including Shih Tzus, Collies, Spaniels, Terriers, and Shepherds and understand the unique personalities of different breeds and individuals. I have also had rabbits, hamsters, fish, and lizards. My partner Pete is the cat expert, having had both cats and dogs consistently in his home since 2001. We both work and study fully from home, so we are available any time of the day for walkies and cuddles. 

Until recently we had a beautiful old German Shepherd called Evie, who loved the extra company of her new doggy friends from Pawshake, but she passed away in August 2024 so our home now has no resident dog and we are really missing those pet cuddles.  

Our home is a big townhouse in Fortitude Valley with a fully-fenced back garden which is shaded all day. We can accommodate both indoor and outdoor pets as there is a kennel outside in the garden, a doggy bed inside in the living room, and a doggy door for free-range access. We are also just a 15-min walk to the Gasworks off-leash dog park, which we love to visit with our guests. We are able to offer pet daycare and pet sitting in our home, and can also offer home visits in your home too. 

Here is a description of the services we offer: 

🐾 Dog Boarding:

Sleepover stays up to 24-hr at my home. Pets will have almost constant supervision, company, and snuggles during their stay, and sometimes we can even go on outings to the beach or the dog park. Pets are not allowed upstairs on the carpet due to some past incidents and a now-irresistible wee-spot, but are welcome to sleep either indoors in the living room or outdoors in the garden. Pets will be fed and walked according to your usual schedule. If they require more than 1x 30min walk per day then please add an additional “Dog Walking” to your booking for each day that this is required. If pets will be here for more than 24-hr (eg. drop
off at 9am and pick up at 6pm the next day) then please add an additional “Doggy Day Care” to your booking.  

🐾 Doggy Day Care:

Daytime stays at my home. Pick up and drop off times are fully flexible during the day to suit your needs. Pets will have constant supervision, company, and snuggles during their stay, and can be fed or walked too if required. 

🐾 Home Visits:

A 30-minute visit to your home. During this time we can do feeding, water changes, litter changes and/or poop scooping, as well as lots of cuddles and a short walk if required. If you would like a longer visit of 60-min then please add an additional “Dog Walking” to your booking for each Home Visit that this is required. 

🐾 Dog Walking:  

A 30-minute walk for your pooch. We can go for a walk along the river, to the dog park, to the beach, or along your usual route if walking from your home.
