Pet care experience
Hello! I've been working with animals professionally for the past five years as a dog walker, welper, dog sitter and pretty much everything in between! I've also had cats for most of my life and I've worked with newborn kittens recently alongside the newborn pups! I have worked with and taken care of dogs ranging from newborn puppies you could fit into a single hand, all the way up to massive Tibetan mastiff guard dogs, and I love every second of it. I've cared for shy dogs, incredibly energetic dogs, older, snoozier fellows etc, and I have worked with dogs on basic training as well. I love cats and dogs with all my heart and I'm always happy to help! I’ve been fully booked for the past year, looking after regular clients, and things have moved on a little bit in life now meaning my books have some space! Get in touch anytime, I’d be more than happy to chat. References available!
Reviews
Thank you Sophie for accommodating us at short notice and for taking such good care of Magnus. He had a great time!
Sophie was amazing with our miniature dachshund. He's a bit nervous around new people and Sophie was very kind and patient with him. Thanks Sophie!
Sophie clearly loves dogs and was very happy to spend time making sure our puppy was having lots of fun! Will definitely rebook.
Sophie is smart, patient, kind and great to work with. My 63 lb dog loves her lots! Since my pup is still young-ish, she can get a little nervous, and Sophie does a great job calming her down and acclimating her to the city. Sophie is a genuine dog-lover and I'm lucky that she's around. Thanks, Sophie!

Safety, trust & environment
I have been dogsitting/house sitting for many many years now! I find it to be the most relaxing environment for pups when their parents are away, rather than being in a totally new space with new smells and sights! I always like to get a full rundown of pups routine and fill the days with walks, snuggles, games, scratches and fun! Almost all of my clients have had me looking after their pup from their own home, so I can provide references if requested. I’m always very respectful of clients homes.
Home
Information Sophie M. would like to know about your pet
Any medical conditions, personality quirks, special needs, medications, routines, things that they've been being trained in and need to be adhered to. Feeding times, and anything else that's necessary.
A typical day
Depending on whether it's a short walk or a stay lasting a few days, with pups we will play whatever games they enjoy most, have lots of cuddles and walk for as long as they need. And for kitties, there will be as much cuddling as they can handle (cats tend to be a bit less enthusiastic than pups!). Will take dogs for walks in parks, gardens, towns (if they like people), busy dog walking routes if they like making friends, quieter routes if they are more reserved. Will set up some sniff games for strong nosed spaniels, throw balls for the retrievers, play tug of war; whatever the favourite pass times of choice may be!

Availability
I'm currently working part-time so I would be able to spend lots of time at home playing with your kittens/pups! I'm pretty flexible and happy to work around schedules whenever I can.
