Hi, my name is Samantha and I am the owner of Lollipups.

I have my very own little dog called winnie. A cat called daisy and up until recently I kept rabbits who reached the ripe old age of 11 bless them.

Animal welfare is one of my top priorities in life. I worked for the rspca for almost 10 years.

I saw some broken glass in Southwater and was telling every dog owner nearby to watch out for it when I came up with the Facebook idea of Southwater dog community so people can let other owners aware of things. It has expanded to pet advice and recommendations and everything doggy. I am always ready to help an animal.

During the pandemic work has been slow but to fill in my spare time I have studied and now have qualifications in:

• Pet psychology
• Canine communication
• Assistant vet nurse
• Introduction to dog training

All of these certificates can be found on my Facebook page.

This is on top of my other qualifications of:

• Pet first aid
• Dipolma in dog walking and pet sitting.

I am fully insured and CRB checked.
