Our family dogs do not live with us, they are with my in-laws, however as retired parents should be, they are very keen travellers and we are very happy dog sitters! As mentioned, we have a fenced in garden and lots of surrounding areas for dog walks. I work from home so am around to monitor and keep fluffy friends company.

A typical day

I work from home and I have a very active lifestyle, I start my day with a walk then settle in for a few hours of work. Around lunch time I’ll head back out for another walk, there are lots of cycle tracks and long routes to take! After lunch home for some more work and then play time when the work day is over!

Pet care experience

We have had family dogs for the last 11 years, we currently have 2 bearded collies, Merlin (11yrs) and Griffon (5yrs) and they are regular visitors to our new home we recently purchased! There is plenty of room for fun in the fenced garden and other very friendly dogs in the neighbourhood we may bump into on walks. I work from home so there will always be someone around for your furry friend.

River has been going to day care with Sophia for 3 months so far and he loves her so much! He's so excited from the moment we turn into the road. He has lots of space to run around, a big garden to explore and a forest nearby for walkies. River even 'helps' Sophia do her jobs for the day by being a cosy lap warmer. From the initial meeting he was clearly comfortable and happy to be there. River has certainly got a bestie in Sophia.

Sophia was lovely - the dogs were super excited to see her and when we were away for a week she came to rhe house and walked them every day - would definitely recommend and will be using her again

I felt happy leaving my nervous little dog with Sophia for the first time. She was very understanding and sent me feedback during the day. Thank you.

I am writing this reference for Sophia, who I know personally through close friends. Sophia is very attentive, dependable and caring towards animals, and I have seen firsthand, how she handles dogs & treats them well. She gives attention to detail when it comes to grooming, and understands the importance of a dog being able to exercise and receiving social interaction. She is confident in handling dogs who may have high-energy, and has alot of patience for ones who may be more anxious or timid towards new people or other animals.
