I work full-time from home but due to shift length I only work 3 or 4 days a week, some are nights, however if I am working there will always be a good 30-60 minute walk either before I go to bed or before starting work. Days off give time and opportunity for longer adventures, however shorter walks will be accommodated if this is what is more suitable for your dog! If I go out for a short period somewhere I can't take dogs I have a camera in the living room to check on them and leave the radio on!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced garden and my golden retriever Spencer will be happy to keep your pet company! I have lots of toys and all areas of my home are safe, I am happy for dogs to sleep on my bed or the sofa but also happy to set up a cosy crate wherever your dog is comfortable! I am keen for pre meeting your dog prior to staying so we can introduce them to Spencer and so they can be a bit more comfortable when they arrive for their stay.

Pet care experience

I'm a qualified (human) nurse with my own Golden Retriever. I work from home and love going on long nearby walks or adventures somewhere new. Some afternoons off we may go to dog friendly pubs. I've always been the helpful neighbour popping in on dogs or looking after family and friends dogs when theyre away, developing confidence in building rapport and trust with other pups. I've got a secure garden and when I'm home mostly leave the back door open. My golden gets on with other dogs and loves a cuddle or a play but also happy to leave another dog in peace. My own dog didn't quite like the kennel environment when they stayed once and I want to provide a safe place for your pups to be as happy as possible when they're missing you! Id be happy to meet before the stay so you can see my home they can stay in and know they get along with my own dog! I trained Spence from being a young pup and often get compliments on how well trained he is I am happy to continue any training methods you have in place or also if your dog has any medication needs I m comfortable administering these.

Sophie was absolutely fabulous with our dog Ethel. She took such great care of her and kept us constantly updated as to what they were up to. So much so Ethel didn’t want to come back! Would highly recommend and we’ve already booked her in for her next stay with Sophie.

Sophie was a wonderful sitter for our 2 year old lab. I received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay and would 100 per cent recommend. Will be booking her again if we need another sitter!

Scout had the best day staying with Sophie. She played all day with Spencer. Sophie is a fantastic host, reliable, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend her. She sent brilliant photos and video of Scouts stay.

Sophie was very flexible and responsive when arranging Hunters care. While there he had a great time playing with other dogs and getting lots of cuddles. We received pictures of him having a great time too.
