Availability

I have been dogsitting now since 2019. My background is in social care and childcare, over time I have built up regular clients and I am very happy that this has become my full time job. As I normally have multiple afternoon walks and may also have to run some errands I am a good match if your pup can be left for a short while to allow me to manage this. I have completed training in dog grooming and set up a studio at home, so in addition to other services I am able to offer dog grooming also. The summer period is very busy for me so I may not have much space for new clients over this time, especially puppies/high energy dogs.

Information Sophie W. would like to know about your pet

it is important to know if they can be trusted off lead, how good their recall is (and any other commands they know that may be useful), how vocal they are, how they are with other dogs and how long can they be left alone for

A typical day

I have a variety of different toys including chew toys, balls, squeaky toys and rope toys available to play games with dogs, additionally I have some regulars who enjoy making new friends and having a good play. We enjoy walks in Kelvingrove, down by the river on warm days and a run around in the gated puppy park where they can socialise with other dogs.

Pet care experience

I am good at communicating with owners and sharing photos to let them see how their pup is doing. I have been dogsitting & walking professionally now since 2019. I used to work in social care and childcare but over time have managed to build up my regular clients and I am very happy that this has become my full time job. I have always loved animals, my family always had pets when i was growing up and i would petsit for friends and family when i was younger. Your dog may be a good fit for me if they are of a medium/small size, preferably neutered/spayed and non reactive to noises since it is a busy area and there is construction next to my house. Some of my regular daycares and overnights include frenchies, pugs, boston terriers, schnauzers, chihuahuas, daxes and bulldogs. As I have doggies I care for regularly I am probably not a good option if you dog isn’t good with other dogs. Also I am very busy during summer and it is unlikely I will be able to take any young puppies during this period. I live next to Kelvingrove park so the park is my back garden! I also like walks down to the river on nice days and sitting in shaded areas when it's very hot. Please let me know your dog's schedule, how good their recall is, how they are off lead and if they pull on the lead. I don't drive so it is unlikely I will be able to provide walking services unless you live in the finnieston/park circus area Please keep in mind although I live in quite a large spacious flat it is 2 floors up, so if your dog is not confident on stairs then I am most likely not the best fit for you, however if they are small enough I have no problem carrying them up and down the stairs. Also I have a male flatmate so I may not be well suited for you if your dog is very nervous of men. Based on their needs or schedule I have plenty of places for them to sleep including a spare dog bed, multiple couches and of course in bed with me. I also have an additional crate I can use for any crate trained pups, which saves you from transporting your own.

Sophie, looked after my two dogs for an overnight. The two of them were well looked after and Sophie gave us updates. Sophie made sure the dogs were welcomed and that they were settled with her to ensure they got the best of care.

Sophie did a really amazing job at looking after our 6 month old puppy Goose. She was patient with all my questions ahead of taking care of Goose and during the time, sent updates and videos. Sophie was excellent and I felt very grateful to be able to leave our dog with someone who put our concerns at ease. Thanks Sophie!
