Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dogs second favourite humans 🐶🐾
Hi! I’m Sophie, and together with my partner Karoline we’re excited to welcome some new dog besties into our lives! We provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home house sitting across Surrey. As we both work from home most of the time, we’re able to offer flexible scheduling, consistent communication, and attentive one-to-one care. We’ve both lived with dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to us. I personally grew up with a mix of breeds including a Vizsla, German Shepherd, Labrador/Rottweiler cross (overseas rescue), and Border Collie. I have hands-on experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioural needs. From supporting anxious rescues as they build confidence, to keeping up with active, high-energy breeds, I’m experienced in adapting my approach to suit each individual dog. Over the years, we’ve helped friends and family with pet sitting and dog walking — and we still “borrow” my parents’ dogs whenever we can (we love the company and the walks!) Pets truly are family, and that’s exactly how we treat them. 🫶🏼 We’re confident with everything from structured walks and feeding routines to enrichment, companionship, and maintaining your pet’s usual routine in their own home. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or calm and laid-back, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away — with plenty of updates for your peace of mind. 🐾

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust and comfort always come first. I will always follow your pet’s usual routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to medication, boundaries and house rules — so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them. Whether I’m house sitting, popping in for visits, or taking your dog out for a walk, I make sure they’re supervised, engaged, and given plenty of attention and reassurance. I’m attentive to body language and behaviour, so I can adapt to their needs — whether that’s extra playtime, calm companionship, or a bit of confidence-building support. I treat every home with respect and keep things tidy and secure, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Clear communication is important to me, so I’ll always stick to agreed timings and provide updates to keep everyone happy and reassured.
Ratings and reviews
Sophie and her partner were amazing looking after Cecil for a long weekend. It was his first time being looked after by someone else, and they put us completely at ease by sending pictures and updates. He looked so happy on walks and relaxing with them, we wouldn't hesitate for them to house sit with him again.
Well I did not have to worry, the girls looked after the pup and the house . Got home after a couple of days away and pup was happy and clearly been spoilt, house was tidy and so we were happy. Very happy with the girls and the way they looked after our dog and our home. Would highly recommend them and we will definitely be using again .
Sully loved Sophie popping in on him today. It was her first time doing it for him, and she was great. Reliable, great communication and couldn’t ask for more!
Sophie is a lovely caring person who adores dogs and has walked my working cocker spaniel a few times. My dog and I have no hesitation in recommending her and she is very sensible and calm.
Sophie is super friendly and has great communication throughout the booking process and during her time with our dog. Sophie has looked after our newly adopted pug twice and has already formed a lovely bond with him. Would highly recommend 🌷✨
Sophie was so thorough getting to know our boy before she took care of him - she made sure she knew his likes, dislikes and quirks beforehand and sent pics to us whilst looking after him. He clearly had a lovely time as was snuggling with Sophie when I arrived to collect. He was super tired after his day/walk so sleeping like a dream now!

Schedule
Since my partner and I both work from home, we have plenty of time and attention for pets throughout the day! We can easily fit in walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day. Whether your furry friend is full of energy or loves to lounge, we make sure they get plenty of attention and feel right at home 🏡 I have quite a-lot of flexibility so I can usually be available whenever you need, as long as it is planned in advance so I can fit everything in and be prepared.
