Pet care experience

RIVER, DOVER - Your pets home away from home

I’ve had the privilege of caring for my own pets for over 15 years. They are truly part of the family. I regularly care for my friends and families pets when they go away on holiday or need some daycare whilst they’re at work. I have a large enclosed garden and plenty of room in the house for pets to have their own safe environment. I walk my own dog twice a day and therefore can accommodate this in your pets care. I live very close to Kearsney Abbey and country side walks and love being outside.

This was the first time we have left Willow with someone overnight as we had to travel away for a family event. Sophie was very pleasant and kept us up to date with photos and messages. Willow was totally relaxed within minutes of us leaving her and was very well looked after throughout her stay. We are so happy to have found Sophie and her family and would most definitely recommend her and would most definitely book with her again.

We booked Sophie for one night as we were attending a nearby family wedding. We found to be an excellent host for our dog Ted as it was his first time staying at another property without us. Communication was excellent before and during his stay with added pictures to help ease our worries he wouldn’t settle. Sophie appeared to look after Ted really well and nothing phased her. We would definitely recommend using Sophie if you are in the area and need your dog looking after

Happy Christmas to you all, you have been the best sitter ever and we don’t recommend anyone else using you as we want you and your family to ourselves. 🤣🤗🥰

Thanks Sophie for being such a perfect host to Chloe. The pictures you sent were a gem. I collected a perfectly chilled, relaxed dog. I cannot thank you enough. I have found the perfect host!!

Schedule

I work from home and so am available all day to meet the needs of your fur babies. They can be let into the garden whenever they require, or they can have free reign of the garden if you’d prefer, and go for two walks a day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large enclosed safe garden, and have a small dog of my own. I also have two children, however can ensure your pets are kept separated from them if that would suit their needs better. Our dog Woody is well trained and has plenty of energy to share with his visiting pup pals.
