About Sam
*Update* We are keen to only look after child friendly dogs. Nonaggressive or reactive dogs please. We have a young child who is good with pets, but if you know your dog isn't great with kids, we might not be the dog sitter you're looking for. Friendly, playful and energetic dogs are fine, our kelpie will play with them dawn till dusk.

We are a couple that have a playful and super friendly kelpie (F). Emilia is a Registered Midwife and has had dogs her whole life and Sam is an outdoorsman who has looked after pets and rehabilitated Australian wildlife for years.

We are both really active and love taking walks through nature reserves, in parks with other dogs and training/playing with our kelpie, Scout.

Sam works during the week and has weekends off to take full care of your pet, but takes our own dog for runs in the morning and evenings. Emilia is at home during the week. Our dog Scout is a super social dog and will play with your dog all day too. Happy to do meet and great first.

For House visits - happy to look after any kind of animal, Bird, Turtle, Snake, Lizard, Cat, Dog.
For Pets to our home - We have a fully enclosed and decent backyard for the dogs to play, with a semi-indoors area for them to shelter if the weather is bad. We can take them on walks around the suburb, adventures through wilderness areas or at local parks to run around with all the pooches they can handle.

My pup Roger had a great time with Sam. I was updated regularly throughout his stay with great photos of Roger enjoying himself. Thank you!

Sam and Emilia were wonderful. They were easy to communicate with, and kept me updated throughout. Their dog Scout was lovely and kept my dog company :). I would happily have my dog stay with them again.
