Doggy Day Care • Apr 19, 2026

Sophie was wondeful and looked after my dog so brilliantly that he was happy and content to be with her. Sophie had Murphy as we had a funeral to attend to and was very flexible and kind in terms of meeting ours and Murphy’s needs. I would thoroughly recommend Sophie as a trusted dog sitter and her home and garden were a treat for Murphy to run free in. Many thanks

Sophie was great with my elderly Labrador. Very friendly and attentive to the details Of his care. I really feel confident she will look after him very well- he is very comfortable with her too

House Sitting • Jan 09, 2026

Sophie was a real gem. She house sat for us and took care of our cavapoo, Bella, when we went skiing over new year. She made the effort to meet up with us twice before the trip to meet Bella and walkthrough the house. Bella is a sensitive pup, but Sophie spent a lot of time with her, taking her for daily walks, administering her medication and cuddling with her on the couch. We received daily updates with pictures and also returned from the trip to a clean house and washed bedding. I could not recommend Sophie more!

Drop-In Visits • Nov 08, 2025

Sophie was a huge help, coming last minute to drop in on Monty. She did a great job of looking after him, playing in the garden and encouraging him to finish his breakfast. Thank you!!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have my own business and while I’m trying to build it up, I have plenty of free time. I go for walks most days anyway and it would be nice to have some companions to take with me!

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a large fenced garden and there are local parks within walking distance. I love giving cuddles and going for walks along the river.

A typical day

We’ll go for a nice long walk before cuddling up for a bit and then playing some games. I like to give dogs treats inside an old plastic bottle and watch them try and get it out. They always love it.

I have an huge amount of experience with both senior dogs and large dogs, and I’ve also looked after smaller dogs recently. I can adapt based on their needs, for example how much walking time they can handle etc.
