AnnMarie (Sam)

 Hi everyone! I'd love for you to call me Sam! (female) 

A little about me! 

I grew up in New Zealand with an array of furry friends, from dogs, cats, mice, rats, chooks, fish, birds and horses.

I am the one that attends to the ‘broken’ ones that nobody else wanted. I loved them all.

From a very early age, I always had a way with animals, like a deep understanding of what
they felt, what they wanted. They were my go to when I needed someone to talk
to. This has led me later in life, to Reiki and Intuitive Healing, and Inter-species communication.

I have worked with many rescues, including Greyhounds, as well as rescued wild animals, and those still living free. This now includes approximately 20 species of animals, from around the globe.

The information received has been confirmed by pet owners, and via X-Rays in wild animals, as being accurate.

 I lived on a farm for 9 years, having further experience with both cows and sheep. 

My life wouldn’t be what it is today without furry companions by my side. Animals complete me. 

I currently live with my two cats, Puma (a rescue), and Luna, (my Covid saving grace.) 

What can I offer for you and your beloved pets? 

I will come to your home, up to twice a day. (More per our arrangement for those animals in need of high care and love) All animals will be greeted with love, pats, and cuddles.  

As I have an insight into how animals feel, I will allow timid and or rescues to come to me when they are comfortable, rather than pushing them. It doesn’t usually take long, unless they have experienced severe trauma. It’s all about building trust, and for them to feel safe.  

I will feed them as per your instructions; change water bowls daily, and brush if requested. I will clean up any doggy or kitty DoDo’s if needed. Time permitting; I will have a quick play in your yard with your dog, or inside stimulus with your pet. 

 I offer Dog walking on lead, as an additional service. I also offer to take iPhone photos or short videos of your furry family and send to you for peace of mind that they are settled, looked after, and loved. 

If there were any emergencies, I would take them to your vet of choice, after a phone call to you to talk things through, or any other arrangements that you may have put in place.

I am happy to give medication where needed, if your animal is easy to administer, otherwise let me know your tricks to make it successful. I have only done needling on sheep, so I'm not really experienced with injecting medications, however I am happy to learn.

If I am walking your Dog, I am happy to encourage basic commands as per your instruction. I usually get a dog to sit, before crossing roads. (My cats also sit before I put their evening meal out ha ha) 

I am also happy to water any indoor plants if needed, and collect any mail. 

I have been pet sitting (including rescues) and dog walking privately for a number of years, and can provide feedback by previous clients if needed.  

I have walked dogs from 8 kgs to 54 kg, and everything in-between. 

I have also helped with the re-homing of a Wolf Hound X, as her owners could no longer look her after. I am happy to say that Molly now has a lovely home and family she can call her own.  

I am very down to Earth, honest, reliable and trustworthy person. What you see, is what you get. Just ask you pet! ;) 

Love to hear from you, if you think I may be a great fit you both yourself, and especially
your furry babies. 

Sam
