Dog Walking, Boarding & Cat Sitting

In Notting Hill, Bayswater and Kensington

Dog Walking

Looking for a dog walker in Notting Hill or Bayswater? 90-minute adventures through Kensington Gardens with just four dogs at a time. No vans, no rushing – your dog gets proper time to sniff, play, and just be a dog.

Dog Boarding

Your dog stays in a proper home environment – think comfy sofas, a secure garden, and walks in beautiful parks. And if they are the type who sleeps on the bed at yours, well… they probably will here too.

Cat Sitting

Need a cat sitter in Notting Hill, Bayswater, or Kensington? I’ll pop round to yours to check on your cat. Fresh food, clean litter, any meds they need, plus enough fuss and chat so they don’t think you’ve left them forever. Other small pets welcome, too!

The Human Behind the Adventures

Hello there! I’m Milena, or Mim as my friends call me. I started Sammy & Mim in 2016 after struggling to find a dog walker who’d care about my dogs the way I do. Nine years later, not much has changed aside from a few grey hairs (on both). Sammy’s still chasing balls, still bossing around dogs ten times her size, and I’m still out walking dogs in Notting Hill, Bayswater and Kensington, making sure every dog gets the kind of walk that actually makes them happy rather than just tired.

Whether it’s a shy pup who needs patience or a social butterfly who lives for park meet-ups, I tailor each walk so your dog feels safe, seen, and loved.

Why choose Sammy & Mim?

On Foot, Always

No vans, no crates, no chaos – well, okay, sometimes a bit of chaos, but only the good kind. We walk to the park like civilised creatures (mostly).

Just Me, Every Time

No different faces, no strangers! Your dog gets the same walker (that’s me!) who knows their quirks, their friends, and exactly how they like their ear scratches. Plus regular photo updates – whether it’s their Kensington Gardens adventures or hanging out at mine while you’re away.

Certified, Insured & DBS checked

Certified in dog behaviour and training, DBS checked, and fully insured for your peace of mind. I understand what dogs need – not just exercise, but enrichment, confidence-building, and proper socialisation. Always at their own pace.

90-Minute Kensington Gardens Walks

Real walks at your dog’s pace, not a rushed loop. Just 4 dogs max, so I actually know who steals all the sticks and who needs a gentle nudge to say hello.

What Clients Say

Milena is truly remarkable. The care and attention she gives to our dog (Monty) is so excellent, always providing feedback on how Monty is and letting us know if she notices a potential health issue. She’s also given us so many good recommendations for her. Milena’s a great person, loves dogs, bonds with them and they love her 🙂 Thank you 🙌🏼

Milena has been part of our family for 8 years - she has looked after our first dog Dennis and new puppy Digby over the years, she is so caring and understanding of the dogs and goes above and beyond for them. We could not have dogs in our life if it wasn’t for Milena.

Milena is the most amazing dog walker - our Rhodesian ridgeback absolutely loves her and Milena helped so much with her training and socialising. We couldn't recommend her enough - she is gentle and caring and loves the dogs she walks almost more than we owners do - and it really shows in the way she is with them and the way they respond to her.
