Highlights
Pet care experience
Home from Home, full of love
Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives and we’ve both grown up around them. We regularly care for dogs for family and friends and have experience with a range of breeds, ages, sizes and personalities, including rescue dogs who may need extra patience, reassurance and individual care.

Ratings and reviews
Many thanks to Sophie D and family for their absolutely excellent care of Benji during his 2 week holiday with them. We can't rate them highly enough. Benji obviously had a great time and he came back to us very relaxed and happy. Many thanks. M&M
Extremely happy with the care my dog received during their 10 day stay. I got lovely photos and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m really pleased with the service and would definitely recommend !
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Coffee! She was so thoughtful during the hot weather, taking extra precautions and always making sure he was comfortable wherever he chose to relax. The daily updates were amazing, and she was so considerate of his usual routine. Highly recommend!
Sophie kept us updated throughout our pups stay with her. Lots of beautiful pictures and reassurance that they were absolutely fine and in excellent hands. When we picked the girls up you could instantly tell how much they had warmed to her, so much so that Dottie laid on her back for more belly rubs from Sophie rather than us 😂. Their family dog Theo is so friendly and welcoming to new doggies in his house and it’s lovely that when we go away now, not only do our dogs have human company, they also have another 4 legged friend to play with! Will definitely be using Sophie for all our future boardings and would recommend people to do the same.
This is the first time using Rover and we are so pleased that we found Sophie and Josh to look after our three year old dog called Nancy for an over night stay. Sophie and Josh are an incredibly kind and warm couple, with a beautiful home and the most cutest dog of dog their own called Theo. I would like to say thank again …. a forever friend Nancy and Gemma xxxx
Sophie looked after my mum's dog, Monty, while we attended a family funeral. As Monty had never been left with anyone other than family before, we were naturally a little nervous. However, after an initial meet and greet with Sophie, we felt much more reassured. Sophie took photos, which showed just how settled and comfortable Monty was. This was especially reassuring given that it was one of the hottest days of the year. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophie and would happily leave Monty in her care again.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into our routine as I work from home Monday–Thursday, my toddler attends nursery during the day, and my husband works evenings, meaning dogs will have plenty of company, supervision, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day in a calm, loving family home environment.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a detached family home with a secure, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely play and explore. We also have our friendly Cavachon, Theo, who loves other dogs, enjoys walks, naps and playtime, and is very gentle and sociable. Dogs staying with us would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of supervision, affection, exercise and care tailored to their individual needs in a calm, safe and loving environment.
