About Sammy&Mim

I’ve always had pets around growing up—we had two playful German Shepherds and a fluffy Turkish Angora cat, and from as far back as I can remember, animals have always been a big part of my life. When I moved out for university, I felt a tremendous sense of emptiness being away from them. The only thing that comforted me was knowing they were in good hands with my family. But I missed them terribly. After I finished university and settled into work, I knew I needed another companion. That’s when Sammy, my sweet dachshund cross, came into my life. She’s been my best friend for the last twelve years, and I can’t imagine life without her.

Because of my own experience, I fully understand the challenges of being a pet owner. We all want to give our pets the very best—whether that’s finding the right vet, the perfect groomer, or just ensuring they get enough exercise and mental stimulation. But let’s face it, life can get busy, and sometimes it’s hard to give our pets everything they need. That’s one of the reasons I became a dog walker. I love spending time with dogs, and I want to give other pet owners the same peace of mind I had when I was away, knowing that their furry companions are being taken care of with love and attention.

For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s my passion. I’m fascinated by how each dog has its own unique personality, and I love figuring out how they express themselves, whether they’re happy, excited, or just looking for a cuddle. I’ve even done several courses in canine psychology and behavioral analysis, so I can better understand their needs. During our walks, I’m happy to help your dog improve their social skills, work on any behavioural quirks, and just have fun being themselves.

Since 2016, I’ve had the joy of looking after many dogs in Notting Hill and Kensington, as well as some wonderful cats and even bunnies! It never feels like “work” to me—taking care of your pets is something I genuinely love. There’s nothing more exciting than meeting a new furry friend, getting to know them, and seeing that spark of connection. It’s pure happiness!

So, if you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pets, I’d love for us to start this journey together.

P.S. Just don’t tell Sammy—she might get a little jealous! 😃

About Sammy&Mim

Hi friends! My name is Sammy, and I’m a 12-year-old dachshund cross.

To be honest, when Mum first started walking other dogs, I wasn’t too happy. I mean, why would I want to share my mum’s time with other dogs?! But then she started bringing them home for sleepovers, and guess what? I made SO many new friends! Now, I love sharing my toys and even my treats with them (only if they don’t have allergies, of course!). Mum and I always play with them—unless they want to nap, which is totally cool too. I’m really good at making sure everyone is happy and comfy when they come to visit!

When I was a teeny-tiny puppy, I lived with my dachshund mama and my brothers and sisters. But then Mum came looking for a new place to live and, well, she found me instead! She fell in love with me at first sight (and why wouldn’t she, right?! 😄). She didn’t rent that place, but she did take me home with her—and that’s way better!

The first thing Mum did was take me to the vet (ugh). I wasn’t a fan of the place, but they gave me treats, so it wasn’t that bad. The vet said I’m a healthy pup, but also, he laughed and told Mum I’m not really a dachshund! Mum looked surprised, but it was already too late—I’d already stolen her heart! 💖 What mattered to her most was that I was happy and healthy, and I am!

And that’s how I found my forever home with my Forever Mum. 🐶💕
