About Sam

Meet Sam

Sam has always had a huge heart, and nothing makes her happier than spending time with dogs. She has been working with dogs since her teens in a variety of settings, including daycare centres and boarding kennels, building years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities.

Sam with Jake

When Sam moved into her first home, she welcomed her first dog, Jake, into the family. Before long, Jake was joined by her daughter, Jess. Soon afterwards, Sam turned her passion into a profession by starting her own dog walking business. Over the years, her family grew again with the adoption of Daisy and Luna.

In early 2026, Sam sadly lost Jake. Despite having Daisy and Luna by her side, Jake left a space in her heart that can never truly be filled. More recently, however, the energetic Reggie, a Jack Russell Terrier puppy, has brought plenty of fun, laughter, and a little bit of mischief back into the house!

Sam brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, compassion, and genuine love for dogs to Pad Foot and Paws. Her dedication to every dog she cares for makes her a valued part of the team, and we're incredibly lucky to have her.
