Availability
I work a flexible schedule which allows me to adjust to you and your pets' needs! Generally, I am available after 11:00 AM, but can make early-morning exceptions when necessary. I am an avid walker and am happy to take leash-trained pups for regular extended exercise.

About Sophie M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In your home, I follow your instructions closely—whether that means feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering medications, or maintaining training cues you’ve established. I make sure walks are structured, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. I also keep the environment secure, clean, and stress-free, and I always communicate updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for.
Information Sophie M. would like to know about your pet
To ensure a safe and happy experience for your pet, you, and me, there are some key details I ask prior to working together. This includes their daily routine, temperament, medical needs, feeding instructions, preferred activities, and any triggers or behavioral concerns. I also appreciate knowing how they interact with other animals and strangers, as well as any household rules you’d like me to follow. Having this information upfront helps me give your dog the best possible care.
A typical day
A fun day of activities with your dog includes plenty of play, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their personality. We might start with a nice walk or outdoor adventure, followed by their favorite games—whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or a puzzle toy to keep their mind engaged. I also make time for cuddles, brushing, or simple relaxation if that’s what they enjoy. My goal is to create a day that feels both exciting and comforting, leaving your dog happy, stimulated, and well‑loved.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart? I’m basically the Swiss Army knife of pet care! I grew up raising cats, dogs, rabbits—and later learned how to care for horses, pigs, chickens, mice, and even turtles! I’ve been involved in training dogs since they were tiny fluffballs, and today I keep my own border collie happy, well-exercised, and still learning new tricks at age six (proof that old dogs can learn new tricks!). Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or pets with unique needs, I bring patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love to every visit
Reviews
Sophie is always amazing with my kitty. She sends detailed updates and lots of pictures. She is easy to get ahold of and responds quickly to messages. I will definitely book her again in the future!
We cannot thank Sophie enough for taking such great care of Mac - she sent photos, frequent updates, and was always timely with her visits. We cannot recommend her enough and would love to have her walk or watch our boy again soon!
100/10
Amazing professionalism, care, and communication! Would highly recommend Sophie! Thanks for taking such good care of our pup, and at late notice!
