Newport Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Company

The Newport dog walking team is managed by Samantha. Samantha has a very keen interest in animals and their welfare. Animals have always been a passion for her and from a very young age she had a wide variety of pets including hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish and birds also learning to horse ride and eventually owning her own horses and ponies. Her love of animals lead her on to getting a job at Cefn Mably Farm Park where she cared for and supervised a wide range of agricultural animals. Whilst working there she completed a Dog Grooming OCN and a small holding course. After having her second child she returned to work at Walnut Tree Farm Park. Whilst working there she completed a Diploma in Animal Care and Psychology. Samantha lives in Newport with her husband, two children and two dogs - a yellow labrador and a black bulldog. She loves walking them up the mountain and along the canal. Sam has completed a certificate in dog behaviour and is a qualified Pet First Aider. Sam is currently doing an animal physiotherapy course with the aim to help her own and client's dogs with arthritic changes. Sam is also undertaking a dog nutrition course. Sam has a wealth of experience in handling nervous or reactive dogs as well.

Hi, my name is Tracey. My previous job of 29 years was caring for young people in a residential setting. To do that job you need to have resilience, patience and most importantly a genuinely caring nature. I love the fact that I can transfer those skills to looking after animals big or small. I've owned dogs and cats all my life so have a genuine undersyanding of their needs. I also look after numerous friends beloved dogs when they go away on holidays as they know I treat every pet as if it were my own.
