Caring and attentive animal lover

Pet care experience

I am fully insured as a pet sitter and dog walker. I only look after one families pets at a time, I like to provide my full attention to your pet. I have many years experience looking after animals. I have owned little furries since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of family members dogs for many years, walking them regularly and keeping them overkight if required. I have also provided voluntary care including dog walking for people who have difficulty walking their own dogs. I do this purely because I love animals especially dogs, unfortunately due to working shifts means it wouldn't be fair to have a dog of my own. I have my partner to help out at weekends and evenings, who is amazing with dogs and they all seem to absolutely love him!

Tiffin and Dorothy had a wonderful time at Sophie’s house. Thank you for looking after them so well! Would highly recommend

Sophie is kind, caring and professional. She loves taking the dogs out for walks to explore new places. There is no one else I would like to walk Teddy or Lottie. She has a calm friendly demeanour and I feel this is a positive reflection for the dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have just moved into a new home where I currently have 2 hamsters, when accommodating dogs I ensure the hamsters are safe and and hidden out of the way in one of the spare bedrooms. We have a big home with a garden and conservatory, where I can accommodate looking after them for the day. We have large open spaces nearby for plenty of walks to keep active. I never leave the dogs alone and will be with them at all times. I only look after one dog at a time, 2 if they live together.

I love to keep active, take them for long walks. I often walk my aunties dog for 3-4 miles. I like to take the dogs down to the beach or wicor recreation ground to have a run around or just take a nice walk by the sea. I also like to play in the garden with the dogs
