Highlights
Pet care experience
Home away from home!
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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sophie was amazing with our dog Monty. He had a fantastic time we received lots of updates which really helped settle our nerves leaving him with someone. Our plans changed and Sophie was extremely accommodating with this keeping in touch. Would highly recommend her!
Thank you Sophie for looking after Fly so well, and for being so accommodating with her age and making her so comfortable. Can’t recommend highly enough. Will definitely rebook next time we go away. Thank you!
Sophie has made Bramble feel at home and goes the extra mile in caring for her. Bramble always looks like she's had a lovely day and I can't recommend Sophie highly enough.
Thank you Sophie for looking after Ada so well, especially in the adverse weather conditions, considering the safety and care of dog welfare.
This is the 3rd time Sophie has looked after our fur baby and I could honestly never go elsewhere now. The love she gives our girl when she’s in her care is impeccable, she really does love her like her own. I really cannot recommend Sophie enough for everything she does and the care she provides
Sophie is my go to sitter for my little Poppy! She is so communicative and friendly and my dog loves going to visit her! Sophie is reliable, caring, and genuinely loves the dogs she looks after. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. ❤️

Schedule
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!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
