Pet care experience

Loving dog sitter with loads of experience

I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 2 1/2 yr old black lab girl named Pippa who is the sweetest most loving dog. My previous pup lived till the ripe old age of 15, and I cared for her right up until her last days; this provided me with a lot of experience when caring for fragile and elderly dogs who need more attention. Whilst living in Cyprus I fostered lost of puppies and vulnerable dogs with behavioural issues - I kept dogs anywhere between 1 week to 3 months long. All dogs were fully trained by myself before they went to their forever homes.

Sophie was an absolute delight to work with. An experienced dog owner who really knows her stuff. Quick responses and regular updates. Would 100% use her services again. Thank you Sophie

Sophie has regularly looked after my elderly dog when I go on holiday. She regularly sends photos and keeps me up to date with him Bug is getting on. She is a caring and attentive dog owner herself and strives to make sure your dog will be happy and safe whilst in her care. I couldn’t recommend Sophie more highly and your dog will be in good hands when staying with her.

Safety, trust & environment

When working I have a dog walker who walks my lab. But when I am off work I take dogs for a daily walk as I live near the national park; I also provide enrichment for dogs with snuffle and lick matts and regular play. Dogs will always be with me as I spend my time mainly downstairs, except when sleeping. I provide 1-2 hourly toilet breaks.

I usually take my dog for a walk in the afternoon or evening. We sit and watch tv during down time and she spends time with me whilst I’m doing the garden. At night

I would like to know: 1. Is your dog fully house trained? 2. Are they an off lead or on lead dog 3. Are they neutered? 4. Are there any behavioural issues I should know about? Chewing? biting? 5. How do they got on with other dogs? 6. Does your dog require continued training whilst in my care? 7. How does your dog travel in the car?
