Availability

I work during the day, but I’m available to care for pets on weekends and after work. I work hybrid, so I am able to care for cats/dogs some days during the week. This schedule allows me to dedicate my free time to giving pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. Whether it’s evening check-ins, playtime, or weekend pet-sitting, I’m committed to providing reliable and compassionate care that fits both my schedule and your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I create a stress-free environment by following each pet’s routine, providing a secure space, and ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to their needs, from feeding and exercise to medication and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so both pets and owners can feel at ease.

Information Sophie M. would like to know about your pet

Before pet sitting, I make sure to understand each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any health concerns, including allergies or medications. I also take the time to learn about their behaviour, energy levels, and comfort with other animals to ensure a stress-free experience. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I tailor my care to their needs. I also ask about house rules, bathroom habits, and emergency contacts, including their vet information, so owners can feel confident that their pets are in safe and attentive hands.

A typical day

A typical day of pet sitting starts with a morning walk in one of the nearby areas, followed by breakfast and some playtime. Midday includes another walk or bathroom break and interactive play. In the afternoon, there’s a longer walk or play session before dinner, then some relaxed time together in the evening. Before bed, a final bathroom break ensures they’re comfortable for the night.

Loving & Experienced Pet Care

Pet care experience

With years of pet-sitting experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including puppies, cats, and bunnies. I’m comfortable with pets of all types and understand the unique care each one needs. Whether it’s keeping up with the energy of playful puppies or ensuring cats feel safe and comfortable, I prioritize their well-being. My patience and attentiveness set me apart, ensuring every pet feels loved and at ease while you're away.

Sophie is a wonderful caretaker and I have asked her to take care of my dog twice without hesitation. You will be in her good hands!

Sophie is conscientious, thoughtful, and very observant - I always knew she was taking great care of my dog! She is the definition of someone who goes above and beyond what is necessary to make the pets she cares for feel at home, safe, and comfortable. Thanks Sophie!

Sophie was great with Bentley! Very attentive to his needs and he settled in so well with her! Will definitely be happy to have Bentley stay with her again!

Sophie is an excellent sitter! I highly recommend her services. She took the time to get to know my dog and was very thorough in preparing for her stay. She went out of her way to ensure my dog was well cared for and had really great communication throughout the weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with her and I can see my dog felt comfortable as well!
