Dog Walking & Pet Care
Dog Walking in Notting Hill, Bayswater & Kensington
Small-group walks only. A maximum of four dogs at a time so everyone gets proper attention. Each walk lasts 90 minutes and provides plenty of time for sniffing, playing with their mates, and leaving messages for other dogs (yes, that’s what all that sniffing and weeing is about).
No vans or crates. I pick everyone up on foot and head straight to the park. Along the way, I use gentle guidance to help with good manners and support dogs who need extra reassurance.
Every dog’s different – some need to run it out, some prefer to dawdle, some are still building confidence. I work with what they need, not against it. Every dog has their own rhythm, I simply walk in tune with it.
With my background in canine psychology and full insurance, you can relax knowing your dog’s safe, stimulated, and actually happy – not just tired.
Dog Boarding in London
Going away and need someone to care for your dog the way you would? We offer home-based boarding – no kennels, no crates, and never overcrowded.
Dogs stay at mine in Ealing, where they can settle into a calm, homely space with a secure garden, soft beds, and sofas they’re actually allowed on. Bedtime cuddles? If that’s their thing, there’s room.
Each day includes two long walks in our local parks, plus shorter strolls throughout the day. While I’m out walking others, my partner and Sammy hold the fort, making sure everyone gets their loo breaks and doesn’t get into too much trouble. Every dog’s different though so if your pup is older, has health concerns, or just prefers a gentler pace, we’ll adjust our routine to suit their needs. Shorter walks, extra naps, whatever keeps them comfortable. And someone’s always home.
Most of our boarding dogs come from Notting Hill, Bayswater, and Kensington, though plenty find us through word of mouth from all over London. Wherever you’re based, you’re welcome to get in touch!
Cat Sitting in Notting Hill, Bayswater & Kensington
I offer home visits for cats and other small pets while you’re away.
Each visit lasts 30-45 minutes and covers the essentials – fresh food and water, litter changes, and any medications your pet needs. But it’s not just about ticking boxes. I’ll spend time with them too, whether that’s play, a proper fuss, or just sitting quietly nearby if they’re the nervous type.
Cats especially appreciate consistency so I do my best to match your pet’s usual routine. Visits are available morning or afternoon, depending on availability.
Meet & Greet
Before we start, I’ll come to yours or meet you both at your dog’s favourite park – somewhere they already feel relaxed.
This first meeting is all about your dog. How they behave, what they need, and any quirks or worries you’d like to share. It’s also their chance to decide if we’d be a good fit, and yours to ask questions and see how we get on.
The meet-and-greet is free, with no obligation to book afterwards.
Why Choose Sammy & Mim?
Over 9 Years of Experience
I've been walking and caring for dogs in Notting Hill, Bayswater and Kensington since 2016. I know the parks, I know what works, and I genuinely love what I do. Sammy's still here too, still setting a good example (most of the time).
Small Groups, Big Difference
Maximum four dogs per walk means proper attention for each one. I match dogs with their energy and temperament in mind so they're walking with friends they'll actually enjoy. Whether they're anxious, energetic, older, or still learning, they get proper attention and the right walking companions.
Qualified, DBS checked & Insured
I'm trained in canine behaviour and psychology, DBS checked, and fully insured. I understand what dogs actually need - not just exercise, but enrichment, confidence-building, and proper socialisation. Always at their own pace.
Have questions that aren't answered here?
I’m always happy to chat about your dog (or cat, or even a bunny!) and figure out if we’re a good fit. No pressure, just a conversation.
