Pet care experience
Give your pet a holiday while you're away
I am studying veterinary medicine and come from a background filled with animals. I love my degree and can't wait to apply it in my future career. Growing up on a farm has taught me from day one how to keep dogs happy and healthy. Since then, my love and knowledge concerning dogs has only flourished. When, at 16, I got my own puppy, I put my heart and soul into training and caring for her, helping her grow into the beautiful dog she is today. From working dogs to beloved pets, I have seen it all. I began dog sitting for family and friends, enabling me to work on my adaptability to how other people like their dogs to be loved. Studying zoology has given me a solid foundation of behavioural knowledge, and I apply that to all the dogs I care for, being firm but always kind.

Safety, trust & environment
I am owner-lead in my care for other people's pets, each family has its own way of doing it, and sticking to that routine makes it easier for everyone involved. Dog sitting, walks or drop-ins will be as energetic or peaceful as needed, fitting in with each pet's needs.
Ratings and reviews
Very happy doggies when we returned. Sophie clearly loves dogs and cared for ours well. She stayed in our house, that way there was less disruption for our dogs.
We can thoroughly recommend Sophie to look after your pets. She is an amazingly capable individual, a natural problem solver, with a sound understanding of the needs of domestic animals. As a shepherds daughter she is not only confident and knowledgeable but also has an impressive calm, kind and gentle manner with animals. She looked after both our dogs while also house sitting for us. So she was looking after our dogs, all the house plants and two green houses. No easy task but she did a wonderful job. And most importantly, the dogs now love her to bits.
Sophie has had a lot of experience with dogs, she grew up in a family which always had dogs as pets, as well as working dogs, both sheep dogs and gun dogs. She has attended dog training and is very aware and knowledgeable of how to encourage good behaviour. She also genuinely loves dogs and will ensure that dogs are safe, healthy and happy at all times.
