I will follow an exact routine should you like to give one. You may make any requests for your animal including how many times they need feeding, walking, cleaning or washing. I’l always ensure a clean and topped up water bowl with fresh cold water and make sure to mop up any spillages, as well as cleaning food bowls after every meal. If you don’t wish to give a routine that’s absolutely fine I will follow your basics and provide fun filled days for your animals based on their energy levels. Food will always be given correctly based on the food manufacturers suggestion for your pet and/or how you like them to be fed. I like to keep dogs leashed during walks as I believe this keeps them safe - however if I find somewhere safe for them to be let off or you can provide evidence of fantastic recall I am happy to take them off leash.
Information Sophie G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any special requirements, release words (for food specifically), behaviour problems (this is not an issue it’s just so I know where to be cautious and patient), any reactivity, and schedule preferences, or any routine that you’d like me to keep going!
A typical day
A typical day will go however you like it to - however if you’d rather not give me a schedule I will typically arrive at your house and greet the animal in tune with its personality! Then my first call would be to check and refresh and water bowls as well as letting them out to the toilet, and cleaning up after them and playing for a while! I’m happy to do short training practices with them too if preferable! Any other requests I’m completely open to - they’re your animal and you know how to best keep them happy! But I will do my absolute best to make sure they have a lovely day.

Pets
Caring, friendly, knowledgeable
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs my whole life - currently I have two collies and a pug. Due to this I have extensive knowledge and looking after dogs comes naturally to me such as adequate water top ups, toilet breaks, cuddle sessions, walks, etc. One of my now passed collies was blind and diabetic, so I have experience with special needs animals. I am also skilled in administering medication - she was on injectable insulin so I can administer medication through injections with no problem. My other collie has arthritis so I’m also capable to giving tablet form also even if they’re fussy! I currently have a 3month old collie too, so i am experience when it comes to high energy puppies that need mental stimulation and naps too. I also have experience house-sitting - having house sat for a family friend with French bulldogs. This included feeding, adequate water top ups, walks, playing with, cuddling, cleaning up behind them, and much more! Additionally I’ve puppy sat and been a live in sitter for four weeks from newborn to older stages. This also included a puppy that needed hand feeding. During this I changed the pads, kept the puppies clean and safe, helped mum have free time and feed the pups, giving mum toilet breaks and food and water etc when needed. At the end of my stay as a perk for the family I made sure to clean their house to the highest standard - I always make sure to leave a place spotless after staying there so you can be sure you’ll come home to happy pets and a clean and tidy home!

Reviews
Sophie looked after our two dogs fantastically when she stayed at ours house sitting for two weeks. They were walked as much as we asked, fed exactly how we asked, had lovely clean fresh bowls of water and spent time together playing in the garden, I would say they had her full attention from what we saw. We also got frequent photo updates of what the dogs were up to with captions from Soph with updates which was lovely while we were away. She also kept us updated with when she had arrived, when she was going out, when she was taking the dogs etc which was really nice to know. The dogs love her and whenever she’s around now they hardly leave her side which is lovely to see, she’s just generally a lovely ball of light and you can see she’s in her element - the animals love her.
