Meet Samantha - Owner of Paws & Claws Worcester

Hi, I’m Samantha Fitzsimmons. Lifelong animal lover, proud pet mum, and founder of Paws & Claws Worcester. For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of turning my passion for animals into a small business built on trust, care, and community.

After years of looking after pets for friends and family, I decided to follow my heart and create a service I could be proud of – one that treats every pet as if they were my own. From bouncy spaniels to sleepy guinea pigs, I’ve loved every wag, purr and squeak along the way.

At Paws & Claws Worcester, my mission is simple: to provide safe, loving and reliable care for pets of all shapes and sizes across the Worcester area. Whether it's group walks through the countryside or gentle pop-ins for a house rabbit, I tailor everything to your pet’s personality and needs.

When I’m not out walking dogs or feeding furry clients, you’ll find me in wellies on the Malvern Hills with my own rescue pets by my side.

Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged (or feathered!) family members soon.

Our Commitment to Worcester’s Pet Owners

We are committed to providing honest, reliable and loving care for every pet entrusted to us. We treat your pet’s safety, happiness and well-being as our top priority. Whether they’re joining a group dog walk, or pet sitting in your home.

The rebranding symbolizes her commitment to expanding care options and creating a welcoming space for all pets.
