Your furry friends home from home

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.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 21, 2026

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.

Sophia is, without a doubt, the best sitter we have ever found for our dog (Max). From the moment they met, it was clear how incredibly caring and sweet she is. She has such a gentle nature, and it's obvious that her first priority is always the dog's comfort and happiness. She didn't just care for Max; she showered him with genuine affection, endless patience, and all the playtime he could handle. She even found Max some special treats, and took him on extra long walks. Alongside all that fun, she was also completely responsible, sending us wonderful updates and photos which gave us total peace of mind. Max came home happy, relaxed (as he can be), and clearly smitten with his new best friend. If you are looking for someone who will love your dog as if they were their own, look no further than Sophia. We recommend her without any hesitation!

Sophia has years of hands-on experience caring for energetic, intelligent dogs. Her dedication to their well-being is clear in everything she does—from regular grooming and exercise to training, playtime, and lots of love. I’ve seen firsthand how attentive, patient, and responsible she is with her own dogs. She treats her pets like family, and I have no doubt she would extend that same level of care and attention to any dog she looks after.

My dog Bertie absolutely adores Sophia, and so do I! She’s looked after him several times now, and every visit has been seamless and full of care. From the moment she walks through the door, Bertie lights up, he’s so relaxed and happy in her company, which speaks volumes. Her attention to detail, gentle approach, and clear love for animals give me total peace of mind whenever I leave Bertie in her hands. She keeps me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and I always come home to a content and well cared for pup. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She’s fantastic.

Safety, trust & environment

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!
