About
I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and have over 16 years of experience working with animals, both as a nurse and also in a rescue centre. My passion is animal welfare and caring for people's pets as if they were my own. I work as a nurse in a busy emergency, out of hours clinic over some weekends. A requirement of being a Registered Veterinary Nurse is to complete a certain amount of hours of continued professional development each year. This means I keep up to date with the latest research and focus my study on behaviour and animal welfare, meaning your pets are in very safe hands.
All my current pets are rescues and I have the pleasure of living with 2 dogs, a cat, chickens, ferrets and pond goldfish. I also have a daughter who was born in May 2023. She comes on walks with me so your dog must be happy around children.
I cover Bramley and the surrounding areas. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements and I will be happy to help.
I am fully insured with Petplan Sanctuary and dogs are secured in the car when being transported.

Testimonials
"Sam has been walking our Golden Retriever "Poppy" for over three years. When Sam comes to the door Poppy is beside herself with excitement. She loves Sam. Sam is 100% trustworthy and always looks after Poppy. Her walks are the highlight of Poppy's week! Most importantly for us, Sam very obviously loves what she does and loves the dogs. Sam is also a brilliant dog trainer and has worked her magic on Poppy since her puppy training classes at our local Vet. Cannot recommend her highly enough."
"I have been using Sam regularly since I got Molly over 4 years ago. Molly is given lots of love and attention and is treated like one of their own. I'm sure she thinks of it as her second home and is always happy to go with Sam. Molly needs various medication so with Sam's veterinary experience I am always confident she will take care of her special needs. I would 100% recommend Sam without hesitation."
