Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog loving couple with cosy home
I have always loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. Myself and my husband share a love of all dogs and can't resist making a fuss of them! We have looked after others dogs for long periods and welcomed them into our home wanting them to feel loved and comfortable whilst away from their families. My experience is mainly with small/medium breeds and have two Chihuahuas myself now who are loving and friendly dogs. My youngest dog Olive is only a year old so have recent puppy experience, and my eldest dog Lola is 11 so I also have experience with more senior dogs. I am experienced at medication administration as this is something I do daily for Lola, and have experience doing this for dogs in my care also. We want any furry friend staying with us to feel relaxed, comfortable and like they are at a home-from-home whilst their humans are away. We know the importance of being able to relax and trust someone else with your companion whilst you are away and love being able to offer that to others whilst they enjoy holidays or weekends away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sophie and her partner looked after our 3month old, and 6month old puppies for 6 days and nights. They both had a wonderful time- I didn't need to worry at all about leaving them which was my concern as they are so young and first time away. I was very comfortable and was recieving regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her again in future. Their 2 dogs were lovely and provided much entertainment and socialisation for my pups. It is such a relief to have found someone I can trust and rely on to provide the care they need. I don't live locally to Sophie but I'd happily drive the 45mins there and back again, knowing that are safe and happy with them.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I currently work in a flexible role where I work from home the majority of the time. This allows me to spend time with dogs whilst working and breaks usually consist of walks around the neighbourhood and out in the garden (in the nicer weather). We are mainly available for long weekend (Fri-Mon) boarding, however with some notice we can accommodate longer boarding.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a secure home with a front gate and fully secure enclosed back garden which is small but ideal for smaller/medium dogs to stretch their legs and bask in the sun during the warmer months. Dogs will have free roam of the downstairs area and we are happy to accommodate their routines and quirks as much as possible whilst you are away. Our youngest dog is only 1 so we live in a 'puppy proofed' environment. Having small breed dogs I am very protective and aware of extra care with safety and security so your dog can relax in our home with peace of mind that they are safe. We have a child-free home and our dogs are the centre of our world so we understand that your dog is not just a pet but a family member and would treat them as we would our own.
