I work flexibly from home so am able to pet sit very easily. Your dog will have up to 3 walks a day - morning, afternoon and evening (if staying with me for the night). I have Eaton Park and Heigham Park nearby but I like to explore new routes and walks in and around Norwich.

Safety, trust & environment

I love walking so your dog would get plenty of long walks. I also have a long garden at home for ball throwing. Customer service is a priority so I will follow your instructions. I do have a Bengal cat so your dog would need to be ok with cats if staying overnight (daytime is fine to keep them separate). My cat is friendly with dogs.

Information Sophie R. would like to know about your pet

I need to know diet and food requirements for your dog, along with their sleeping arrangements and exercise needs. I also like to know their history and how they are with other dogs when out walking.

A typical day

Morning, afternoon and evening walks often going to different parks for new smells and adventures! I have a long garden so we can also play ball.

Pet care experience

I absolutely love my job as dog sitter and pet carer in the NR2 area of Norwich. I look after many different types of dogs, and cats. I have many years experience looking after dogs and pets. Your dog will be in safe hands. I listen to you carefully to find out what your dog needs and manage each dog accordingly. I am a confident dog sitter and will give your dog lots of love and attention and plenty of exercise according to their age and ability. At the moment we have one Bengal cat (Tatty) in our house who likes dogs and other cats (I know, unusual!). If your dog is not good with cats and I am looking after your dog for a couple of nights or less I can keep them separate. I normally arrange a meet and greet first so you can meet me and see where your dog will be staying. I do have a 5 year-old son, so your dog will need to be good around children, although they would never be left alone. My son is very used to dogs and cats and is gentle with them. Unlike other dog sitters/walkers I usually only have one dog at a time overnight and a maximum of two in the day, but usually just your dog. If there will be another dog I I will let you know before you book. This approach also means your dog has more personalised care and attention. I'm happy to take on two dogs from the same household overnight.

Buddy seemed to have a great time with Sophie. As he is a rescue dog he struggles when first meeting new people but he really seemed to settle in nicely. We will definitely be happy to leave him with Sophie again (that’s if she would have him 🤣!!)

Scout loved his time with Sophie and her family. Sophie kept me updated with photos and texts to show me how Scout was getting on. Very happy.

Sophie and family have been great with our dog Lana. Communication was great and we were sent updates which was reassuring. Sophie has been reliable, straightforward and helpful. We feel lucky to have found her!

Murphy had a great first day at Sophie’s. The booking was really easy to arrange, we had a great meet & greet, and then Sophie was really flexible with drop off and pick up. Thank you!
