Hello! I'm Sam, and I currently live in Christie Downs. I don't currently have pets of my own, but I've previously had cats and looked after a variety of dogs and birds! Over the past decade I've helped to look after cats, dogs, lizards, and birds (from budgies and lovebirds, all the way up to our local magpies!) and enjoyed keeping them entertained.
I'm very enthusiastic, love meeting new animals, and am reliable! I want to combine my love of animals, my need to exercise, and my desire to help people into one great activity, which is why I'm on Pawshake! Earning some extra money on the side also helps as I'm trying to save up some money! Currently, I work full-time in the city, so sometimes I need to get a bit creative with timings but will have my license soon so I'll have a lot more flexibility on times.
At this stage, I'm able to visit once a day, walk dogs (or other animals, if they're comfortable with leashes!) - including to the beach, and look after animals in your home. I'm willing to look after "exotic" animals such as reptiles, but please keep in mind I have not done so alone before. If you feel comfortable giving me instructions, I will follow them to the letter.
If you'd like your animal(s) washed after going to the beach please discuss this with me during the meet-and-greet.
I'm double-dosed with the COVID vaccine for your safety. Thanks, and I hope you have a great day!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.

Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Sam was great with my cats, always happy to look after and spend lots of time with them, even when there was vomit involved! She kept in touch and let us know how things were going with regular updates. Will definitely ask her to look after our cats again in future.
Samantha cared for our two old rescue dogs while we were away. We could not have asked for a more caring and reliable person than Samantha. Our dogs do not like many people but took to Samantha straight away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Samantha to anyone needing their furbies looked after. Susan
