Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, reliable, attentive, always
I have grown up around all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to parrots, horses and reptiles and I cannot imagine life without a furry (or scaly!) companion. I had my first pet sitting job as a teenager and I have never looked back. I am very reliable, friendly and caring and I treat each of your pets as if they are my own. Anyone can check on your pet and put food down but I aim to be an extension of you while you are away; the same love, care, details and training that you give to your pet at home, just while you are away. I have experience with both large and small animals as well as puppies, kittens and senior pets. Whether your pet has boundless energy or prefers a slower pace of life, I am happy to adjust to their routine and needs.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My goal of pet and house sitting is to make sure that both you and your pet have a wonderful holiday! You are able to relax knowing that your pet is being cared for, loved and looked after in the comfort of their own environment. I listen to each animal’s needs, likes and dislikes and follow each routine to ensure a great experience is had by all. You can also rest easy knowing that your home is being looked after as well as your pets. I will ensure your home is kept clean and tidy, the mail is secured and (very importantly!) your plants are all being watered.
Ratings and reviews
I’m so glad I found Sophia! 😊 From the very first message, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated how quickly she replied and how supportive she was throughout the whole process. We had originally arranged a booking, but I had to cancel because of a last-minute work issue. Sophia was so understanding and flexible, and made the whole situation completely stress-free. Her kindness and professionalism were actually the reason I came back to book with her again. Before the booking, we met so she could get to know Eddie and I could show her around the house and explain his routine. Everything went exactly as planned. She communicated really well, arrived on time, and took great care of Eddie for a few hours. She is genuinely kind, reliable, and lovely to work with. I would absolutely book with Sophia again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐶❤️
Sophia looked after our 14 year old black Labrador for us while we were away in Portugal for two weeks in April/May this year. Sophia did a really excellent job looking Tilly, feeding her well at the right times, walking her regularly, keeping us up to date via WhatsApp including pictures and generally taking really great care of our dog. There were no issues with our dog while we were away, but Sophia was very diligent in communicating with us via WhatsApp when she had a couple of queries re the house which were quickly resolved. We arrived back to find our house very clean and tidy and Sophia had clearly taking very good care of everything. In summary, Sophia did a great job looking after our dog and house, we have asked her to help us again soon and I would very definitely recommend her.
Sophia has looked after our nervous one eyed mini Dachsund Ernie on 4 occasions now and I would 100% recommend Sophia. We feel totally at ease going away as we know our little boy Ernie will be cared for, loved and treated the way we treat him. She looked after our home beautifully and respectfully and Ernie and Sophia are best friends. We would only ever use Sophia to look after Ernie and would totally recommend her. She is a lovely lady and very trustworthy.
I have know Sophia B for a number of years and when she told me that she wanted to do pet sitting on a more regular basis I instantly thought it was an ideal job for her and on many occasions she has looked after our doggy and our house very well. She is totally trustworthy, she is well travelled and intelligent. Above all she is a brilliant pet lover so again I say she would be ideal to do pet sitting. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lagitha seemed very happy with her sitter for the week. She tends to be fussy with who she will tolerate in her presence especially staying over. I was provided excellent updates with pictures of my little one being very cute and I felt very assured that she was comfortable and well looked after. The property was left as if no one had ever been there and overall this was a great experience.

Schedule
I am currently flexibly working week to week so I can be at home with your pets all day if needed or every few hours if they are more independent. If you have a doggy that loves to go out and meet new people then I am also able to bring them to work with me during the week.
