Dog Walking & Pet Care

Dog Walking in Notting Hill, Bayswater & Kensington

Our small-group dog walks are all about giving your dog the time, space, and stimulation they need, safely and joyfully.

We walk a maximum of four dogs at a time to make sure everyone gets the attention they deserve. Each walk lasts 90 minutes and includes plenty of time for sniffing, play, and social interaction. Our walks are not just about exercise but also enrichment!

There are no crates or vans involved. We head out on foot from your door, pick up your dog’s friends, and head straight to the park. This is a calm, structured way to keep dogs engaged, socialised, and satisfied.

And while fun is a big part of it, we also use walks to gently reinforce good behaviour, help build confidence, and support dogs with anxiety or reactivity. Everything we do is grounded in deep care and understanding – every dog is different, and we treat them as such. Whether your dog loves to run, dawdle, or simply observe the world, we’re here to support them.

With a background in canine psychology and full insurance for peace of mind, you can trust us to care for your dog as if they were our own!

Dog Boarding in London

If you’re going away and need someone to care for your dog like you would, we’re here. Sammy & Mim offers loving, home-based dog boarding – not kennels, not crates, and never overcrowded.

Dogs stay in our home in Ealing, where they can settle into a calm, homely space with a secure private garden, soft beds, sofas to lounge on, and even cuddles in bed at night if that’s their thing. It’s a true home-from-home, and they are treated as part of the family.

Each day includes two long walks in beautiful local parks like Walpole, Lammas and Brent River Park, plus a few short strolls to break up the day. But every dog is different – if your pup is older, has health concerns, or just prefers a gentler pace, we’ll adapt the routine to suit their needs. Whether that means shorter, slower walks or extra rest time at home, their comfort always comes first. And no matter their routine, there is always someone around for company and cuddles.

While we mainly welcome dogs from Notting Hill, Bayswater, and Kensington, many of our regulars first found us through word-of-mouth from other parts of London. Wherever you’re based, you’re welcome to get in touch!

Cat Sitting in Notting Hill, Bayswater & Kensington

We offer tailored home visits for cats and other small pets.

Visits last 30–45 minutes and include feeding, fresh water, litter changes, and any medications your pet may need. We also make time for attention and comfort – whether that’s play, affection, or simply calm companionship.

Pet sitting is available in Notting Hill, Bayswater, and Kensington. Visits are booked based on our availability (morning or afternoon), and we do our best to keep to your pet’s usual routine.

Meet & Greet

Before we start, I’ll come to your home or meet you both in your dog’s favourite park, so we can get to know each other in a relaxed, familiar setting.

This first meeting is all about understanding your dog’s personality, needs, and routine. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, share any quirks or concerns, and see how your dog responds to me. Most importantly, it lets your dog warm up at their own pace and gives you the chance to get to know me, too.

The meet and greet is entirely free, with no pressure to book – it’s just about making sure it’s the right fit.
