“It was Mika 'a first boarding so I was a bit worried. But Matias was great with her, she seemed to like Matias straight away. She is also raw fed and Matias offered some space in the fridge with no issue. I received regular updates and photos from her walks. Mika came back yesterday late in the evening and she is back to her mischievous self today.”

“One of the highlights of the service was the regular updates and adorable photos I received throughout the visits. It was evident that Sophie and James genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dogs, and these updates made our days. It's great to have that extra layer of connection and know that everything is going smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend Sophie for anyone in need of reliable and caring pet services. We would certainly be asking them again for future pet care needs. Thank you for taking such excellent care of our furry friends!”

15. Morgan D.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, family predominantly owning German shepherds but I grew up on a farm working with beagles, Jack russels and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I have a vast knowledge of dogs and what they need and love. I am not qualified but in my spare time I do basic training with friends and friends of friends and their dogs. I have 2 dogs myself Arlo, the hyper focused over excited but extremely loveable 2yo border collie and Odin, my calm, respectful strangely mellow 6 month old German shepherd. I work shifts so have regular time off during the day. I work 4 days in a 3 weeks turnaround and spend all if my spare time with animals. At home with my boys it’s very much, my home is their home. They have free rein although they are both crate and muzzle trained for the safety awareness side. With others, I will adhere to however you treat your dog. In this sense, your rules are my rules. Your furry friend is probably one of if not the most important thing to you so there safety and wellbeing comes first!


16. Nina S.

“Nina was quite simply AMAZING and I’m so glad I found her. She was able to have Jasper at very short notice, and was so accommodating. He was SO happy with her and he wasn’t that bothered to see me when I collected him!! Thank you so much Nina 🩷”


17. Daniel j.

“This was the first time using a professional dog sitter so we were a little apprehensive however Daniel made us feel at ease and was absolutely amazing and really put my mind at ease when looking after Bronson. Daniel asked plenty of questions with the initial visit regarding Bronson's everyday routine also sent plenty of updates while we were away. I would highly recommend and be using Daniel again.”


18. Sarah C.

“Sarah was great with Dobby! She very kindly met us beforehand and dealt very well with Dobbys nervousness. Dobby seemed like she’d had a great time with Sarah and Alfie and I would definitely use again!”


19. Emily D.

20. Carolina N.

“Carolina was so welcoming and caring to our puppy, Ginger. It was the first time we left her and she had a great time. She came back tired and happy from all the play with Carolina’s dog and son. I couldn’t feel better about the experience. Thank you!”
