Availability

I offer flexible availability throughout the week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I currently have daytime and afternoon availability on weekdays, with additional flexibility on weekends for walks, pet care, and overnight stays. For longer house sitting bookings, I may occasionally have my young daughter with me if previously discussed and agreed with owners. She is calm, gentle around animals, and respectful in home environments. I am always happy to communicate clearly about schedules and work with owners to find arrangements that suit both their pets’ needs and my availability.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home and caring for your pets. Through my cleaning work, I have been trusted with clients’ house keys and access to their homes on a regular basis, which has helped me build a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and respect for people’s spaces. I always aim to provide a calm, safe, clean, and caring environment for pets while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I treat every home with care and respect, and I pride myself on being trustworthy, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.

Pet care experience

I have grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, a ferret, which has given me a lifelong understanding of animal care and behaviour. I have also supported family members by house sitting and caring for pets during times of illness and recovery. Most recently, I looked after my dad’s home and his dog for several weeks while he was recovering from surgery, ensuring his dog was walked, fed, and cared for in a safe and comforting routine. Through my cleaning work, I have also been trusted with clients’ homes and keys on a regular basis. On occasion, I have cared for clients’ dogs during visits, including letting them out, keeping them company, and ensuring they were safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I have spent time around cats throughout my life through family members and local cats in my area, so I am comfortable with different personalities, temperaments, and routines. I understand that many cats prefer a calm, gentle, and patient approach, and I always take the time to help animals feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I previously volunteered at the RSPCA, which further strengthened my passion for animal welfare and caring for animals in different environments. While travelling in Thailand, I also visited an ethical elephant sanctuary where I spent time helping care for rescued elephants, including feeding, washing, and spending time alongside them. It was a very meaningful experience and deepened my appreciation and love for animals even further. I am calm, reliable, respectful of people’s homes, and naturally caring with animals. I always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for pets while their owners are away. Fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking.

Sophie was fantastic at looking after Mollie. Mollie can be quite shy but was super happy having cuddles and pets with Sophie. She did a great job keeping me updated throughout and I would 100% recommend Sophie for all your cat sitting needs! Thank you Sophie! ❤️

Sophie helped out last minute with my 20 month old dog. She arranged an initial meet in her own time to come to my house and meet Percy. Sophie sent me detailed feedback from the drop in. I felt reassured and happy my dog was well looked after. Would not hesitate to ask Sophie to help in the future. Thank you!

Wonderful! Sophie popped round to meet Phoebe before hand and she doted on her (and Phoebe loved her too) she even got to meet an extra friend, Sophie’s daughter, and they had a great time playing. Sophie’s communication was clear and kind throughout and she took great care of Phoebe during a heatwave, sending lots of photos of Phoebe cooling down and being a happy pup. Would 100% recommend!

Sophie took great care of my home and Harry my cat while I had an unexpected short trip to attend to. She was kind, reliable and trustworthy. Sophie would be my first call should I need this service again in the future. Thank you Sophie.
