Kia Ora,

I’m Samantha Walters, a certified professional in Canine Psychology, Behaviour, and Training. Alongside my passion for animals, I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast, amateur photographer, and currently studying nursing.

My love for nature is just as strong as my passion for animals. I enjoy exploring Aotearoa, New Zealand, through activities like multi-day hikes, canoeing, and biking, often with a furry companion by my side. This connection to the outdoors is reflected in how I care for animals ensuring they stay active, engaged, and happy.

As a pet sitter, I take a hands-on, active approach to care. This includes regular exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection and cuddles. I also prioritize the pet's basic needs, including feeding, safety, and maintaining a clean, tidy environment for both the pet and the home.

As a canine trainer I can help puppies and adult dogs gain confidence in being out in the community and overcoming their anxiety. I volunteer my services to animal shelters to help dogs gain the confidence and skills they need to give them a better chance at finding their forever homes. 

I offer an affordable service because this is truly what I love doing. Spending my days exploring the outdoors with your furry best friend is an award in itself. 

My home is fully fenced and is a safe space that can be used as a space for daycare with nearby parks and bush walks.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the best possible care and service.

Ngā Mihi,  

Samantha W
