Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Loving Pet Care
I have spent my life surrounded by animals, and I cannot imagine it any other way. Over the years I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, turtles, fish, sheep, and many others. Each one has taught me something new, and that range of experience has made me a calm, observant, and adaptable carer. I have a particular soft spot for dogs. I see them as gentle, loyal little companions who give so much love so freely, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Because animals cannot use words, I pay close attention to their behaviour, body language, habits, and small changes in mood. To me, this is how real trust is built. A formative experience for me was caring for a rescue Corgi who had a limb amputation. Over two years with her, I came to understand how much consistency, gentle handling, and emotional reassurance can mean to an animal who has been through difficulty. I never consider myself an expert, because every animal continues to teach me more. I currently share my home with two cats, and I have experience with small and exotic pets, including a wonderfully long-lived hamster. I am comfortable following detailed feeding routines, keeping food and litter areas clean, giving medication when needed, and sending regular photo updates so you can feel reassured while you are away. What matters most to me is simple: your pet should feel safe, loved, and understood.

I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow routines carefully, monitor behavior, and provide updates. In owners’ homes, I respect their space and pets’ familiar habits.
Ratings and reviews
Sophia house sat and looked after our 2 cats so well! She was really attentive and both our cats loved her. She administered medication to our one cat every day and informed us after she did which was very reassuring. We also got plenty of video and picture updates that put us really at ease. Thank you so much Sophia! We will definitely be rebooking her again.
From the minute Sophia came to meet the pets she got on with them all immediately. (Even our grumpy cat!) While we were away she kept us updated every day on their wellbeing and sent photos and videos of them each evening. The pets were all very happy and healthy when we got home from our holiday and the house had been looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Sophia again to look after our menagerie 😊
Sophia was an absolute dream and we will definitely be using her as our regular cat sitter! She was very attentive to Poppy, washed and cleaned all the sheets, kept in regular contact with lots of lovely updates and administered some worming treatment — we didn’t know Poppy needed it, and Sophia sorted it all quickly and expertly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience reply! I highly recommend, especially if you have a pet who requires a little more attention. Thank you so much!
Sophia has been an excellent house sitter looking after Jessie while I was away for 10 days. She kept me reassured with regular updates and Jessie was able to bond with her quickly. She was diligent in her attention to Jessie picking up on minor issues and making me aware. She also maintained the house very well. Would happily recommend to anymore for pet care
