I’ve recently made the exciting decision to step away from part-time work so I can dedicate myself fully to caring for dogs. This is now my full-time job and passion, and my only commitments are to my own dogs and the pups I look after. Dogs have always been such an important part of my life, and I’m thrilled to give them all of my time, energy, and love.

Safety, trust & environment
In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and stick to their normal routines. I follow each pet’s feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule closely, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. Whether it’s a cozy nap spot or a game of fetch in the garden, I make sure they feel right at home. In the Owner’s Home (if applicable): When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I ensure they’re fed, exercised, and given lots of love and companionship while you're away. I also keep your home tidy and can send updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. Dog Walks (Group & Solo): I offer both group walks and one-on-one walks, depending on your dog’s needs and temperament. Group walks are perfect for friendly, social dogs who enjoy companionship and play with others, while solo walks offer focused attention for dogs who prefer a quieter stroll or need special care. Every walk is safe, structured, and full of fun, and I always ensure your dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need

🐾 Zero Tolerance for Aggression For the safety and wellbeing of all dogs in my care, I have a zero-tolerance policy on aggression. Should any dog show aggressive behavior of any kind, they will need to be collected immediately. 📞 Emergency Contacts Emergency contacts are required and must be available while you’re away, especially if you’re on holiday. This ensures I can always act quickly in the best interest of your dog. 💛 Reactive & Anxious Dogs I understand that some dogs can be reactive or anxious, and I have plenty of experience supporting them. Please let me know if your dog has specific triggers (other dogs, environments, situations, etc.). I pride myself on managing these carefully and will always do my best to avoid unnecessary stress for your pup.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs, with mental stimulation, playing in the garden and also plenty of sniffs out in my local woods. We will always be busy having play in the garden, out on walks and cuddles are definitely an option for your dog

Your Dog’s Second Home & Favorite Walker
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Sophie! Caring for dogs isn’t just something I love—it’s now my full-time job and passion. With over 20 years of experience looking after pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities, I’m here to make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. From bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, I tailor every walk, cuddle, and overnight stay to fit your dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving extra belly rubs, or helping them burn off energy, I treat each dog as if they were my own. This isn’t a side gig for me—your pup has my full attention. My only commitments are to my dogs and yours, which means I can provide dependable, around-the-clock care with plenty of love and patience. Fully insured and always reliable, I’ll make sure your best friend feels comfortable, secure, and part of the family. Whether you need daily walks, extended stays, or just someone to brighten your pup’s day, I’m here to help. 🐾 Let’s keep those tails wagging and make life easier for both you and your dog!
Reviews
Sophia is amazing, I left Coco for the first time and I am very happy!! Next time I will choose her again and I recommend her to everyone! Thank you very much Sophia!
We can't thank Sophie enough to take care of Bertie. He seemed to be enjoying his little holiday and Sophie is great with communication and photos update. Sophie did even text me that she noticed a sore skin on our dog and ask our permission to treat it while we are away. Bertie came home a very tired dog, slept all day.
Max had a lovely time and came back a very tired boy
Sopie was great, it's really clear when you meet her that she has a natural way with dogs and she sent us lots of pictures and videos and was always great at responding.
