Moved to uni and missing my dogs!

Pet care experience

From age of ten to nineteen I have trained three labradors from 8 weeks olds, attending weekly training classes and from appropriate age weekly agility classes. Walked them daily for at least 1-2 hours and then washed them when necessary. I have assisted my trainer when asked with many breeds of dogs including collies, King Charles spaniels, boxers, cockatoos, bull dogs and Rottweilers and have a lot of experience handling different breeds of dogs and their needs. I am currently a student studying biomed at uni of Reading. I have no more than three in person hours a day so have availability to fit dog sitting and walking, around these times and I am relatively flexible with hours. I have a large suv so transporting dogs in boot or car area is not an issue and accessing multiple different walks would be easy aswell as living two minutes from playing fields. Please contact me and we can arrange a plan for your pet! We have a fully secure fenced garden, I do not have dogs currently as I moved out of my family home for studies but understand the importance of the safe environment. The kitchen is tiled floors and the rest of the house is carpeted. A barrier can be used at bottom of the stairs if stairs are not allowed for your pet. We have patio doors leading directly into the grassed garden.

Sophie is very caring towards all animals but especially dogs. She’s always grown up with dogs so can understand them better than most. She has also done many years of dog training so knows how to properly and professionally care for dogs.

Sophie is very good with animals especially dogs she has done years of dog training and her dogs are some of the most well behaved i know. Sophie has a natural way with dogs young and old i have a puppy and a 12 year old dog they both love her and I would have no hesitations leaving them with her.

Information Sophie B. would like to know about your pet

Toilet training and medication explanation if you have no time to explain when you drop them off. any important commands you use for them especially if they are still learning these as it is valuable to keep up the same meanings of words whoever the handler is.

A typical day

I drive an SUV so we have a lot of flexibility on taking dogs for various exciting walks. I also have dog friendly playing fields near by within a two minute walk if they are only staying here for a short time but still would like to be walked. Uni campus is also a great place for dog walks around the lake (on lead of course) and around all the fields/parkland there (which can now be off lead!) :)
