🐾 About Me

Hello,
I’m Sam — a lifelong dog lover now living in a terrace in Paddington, just a short stroll from Centennial Park. My two spoodles, Dolly (named in tribute to Dolly Parton) and Maggie (named after another female icon, Dame Maggie Smith), are my constant companions and the best company anyone could ask for.

We spend our days exploring — from morning walks through the park to weekend adventures at dog-friendly beaches and trails. Dolly’s favourite spot? Pittwater, for a big swim and a splash about!

I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs — everything from Great Danes to Toy Poodles — and have always been passionate about their care and wellbeing. I spent two years working as a Kennel Assistant at the RSPCA, where I helped care for and train dogs as they waited for their forever homes. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and inspired me to pursue formal study — I’m currently completing my Certificate III in Animal Studies.

These days, Dolly and I also volunteer as a therapy team with Delta Dogs, visiting schools and hospitals to bring comfort and smiles to people who need them most. Maggie’s still a bit too young for the therapy work, but she’s in training and full of love and energy!

Alongside my animal work, I’m a full-time Marketing Director — so I know how precious and limited time can be. That’s why I love being able to help fellow dog owners when they’re travelling, working long days, or just need an extra hand.

I work from home most of the time and have a secure outdoor space, making it easy for dogs to play, rest, and feel comfortable. Whether you’re heading away on a trip, spending a night out, or need regular help during office days, I’d love to offer your dog a safe, happy home-away-from-home. My girls are social and would love to welcome a new friend into their routine.

I know how big it is to trust someone with your dog — so I promise to treat them as my own, with plenty of walks, cuddles, and care.

If you’d like to chat or set up a meet and greet, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks,
Sam 🐶
