Team Introduction

Dog Walking and Pet Sitting in Newport

The Newport dog walker team of Friends For Pets was started by Sam in 2019. Sam and her pet care team in Newport are able to provide a wide range of high quality, flexible and reliable pet care services. Our services include dog walking, cat sitting, small animal boarding, house sitting, licensed dog day care and home boarding. However, we aim to tailor our services to the needs of you and your pet so please always ask us if you are interested in a different service and we will do our very best to help. The welfare of your pet and the security of both you and your pet are our paramount concern. We do not arrive at your home in sign written vehicles to ensure we are not announcing to everyone that no one is home and we are transporting lots of dogs around. We are fully insured.

Sam Richards

The Newport team is managed by Samantha. Samantha has a very keen interest in animals and their welfare. Animals have always been a passion for her and from a very young age she had a wide variety of pets including hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish and birds also learning to horse ride and eventually owning her own horses and ponies. Her love of animals lead her on to getting a job at Cefn Mably Farm Park where she cared for and supervised a wide range of agricultural animals. After having her second child she returned to work at Walnut Tree Farm Park. Samantha lives near Newport with her husband, two children and two dogs – a yellow labrador and a black bulldog. She loves walking them up the mountain and along the canal. Sam is currently doing an animal physiotherapy course with the aim to help her own and client’s dogs with arthritic changes. Sam has a wealth of experience in handling nervous or reactive dogs as well.
