Pet care experience

Compassionate dog lover and dog whisperer

I have had pets my whole life, and looking after them has been a big part of my life growing up. I have been called a “dog whisperer” by my friends, as even dogs who are normally wary seem to be comfortable around me. I dogsit for friends and family all the time, being the trusted family member as I just love dogs and understand them so well. I can look after dogs of all shapes and sizes, with experience of all behaviours, including reactivity and dogs who pull. I am responsible and compassionate and will give your pet all the love.

Safety, trust & environment

I will prioritise your dog’s comfort, routine, and safety above all else. I’ll make sure everything feels calm, consistent, and reassuring while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether that’s around feeding, walking, training, or cuddles—so your dog feels as settled as possible. I’m experienced with dogs of all personalities and behaviours, including those who are reactive or nervous, and I always approach them with patience, empathy, and gentle care. While staying in your home, I’ll treat the space with complete respect, keeping things clean and leaving everything just as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pup is happy, safe, and well loved.

Sophie D sat with our elderly dogs at our daughters wedding venue. Our dogs have never been left with anyone outside of the family before, but both settled very well and we felt confident and comfortable leaving them in her care. Excellent service thank you.

Absolutely brilliant, as ever! Fred always has the best time being taken for outings at the pub and playing in the garden. I'm always certain Fred will be so well taken care of with Sophie 😊

This was Sophie’s second time looking after Fred and she was, once again, brilliant! Highly recommend Sophie for your pet-sitting needs 😊

Sophie was great with Noodle. Arrived on time and sent updates and photos. We came back to a very content greyhound.

Sophie was absolutely amazing, we had a last minute cancellation and were very grateful she saved the day. She was perfect with all of my dogs and their different temperaments and energy levels, couldn’t have asked for more, thank you so much!
