Extra help when you need it! Caring & reliable
Pet care experience
I have been caring for my own and other peoples pets since I was in school. Rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, goldfish, cats, dogs, tortoises and snakes! (not all my own of course). During University I spent alot of my down time helping others out through borrow my doggy whilst I was studying and missing my family dog. At the end of 2019 I adopted a rescue puppy from Romania. He is my world and I adore spending time with him. He takes alot of work when we are out walking (nervous/reactive), so every walk is a training walk. If you also have this difficulty and are looking for someone who understands, then I most certainly do! We have workwd closely with a behaviourist/trainer and learnt lots at puppy school, so although I am not a professional I have retained lots of information working with dogs using positive reinforcement. I would always like to meet your dog with you and have a chat before we go for our first walk 🐾 I love nothing more than spending time with pets. Whether you need someone to drop in whilst you're at work or away for the weekend, help over a weekend, or just can't get out for a walk- I'm happy if your pet is happy! Please get in touch if you need some help, regular or a one off, I'd love to hear from you and your furry friend!
Reviews
Our dog had a lovely time and got on really well with Sophie. She sent pictures of him looking very chilled out! Many thanks :D
Sophie is an absolutely incredible sitter! She has a lifetime of experience with dogs, having always had them in her family, so it is reassuring to know that mine will be in the best of hands through a variety of situations and behaviours. She is fantastic at keeping you in the loop with adorable updates if you would like them, or just cracking on and giving them the best care and companionship. I feel completely comfortable leaving them with Sophie - she truly goes above and beyond and I can’t recommend her enough!
Sophie has looked after our toy poodle Bentley regularly since he was a pup. She is one of the few people we trust to take such great care of him and he absolutely loves her in return. I would without doubt highly recommend Sophie to anyone, your dog would be in very caring hands and would gain a new best friend in her 😊
Sophie is amazing, a dog whisperer, kind thoughtful and loves dogs. I trust her 100% to look after our dog. Sophie takes her responsibility seriously and will ensure your dog has a great time whilst in her care. Thank you for all your help, she is truly amazing.
