Welcome to my pet page, i'm Soph! I am from the UK and have been brought up with dogs ever since I was born, so I am used to them being part of the family. I would love to be able to care for your pets, take them for walks, feed them and generally help you out while you're away.
Me and my partner Christian work full time. Christian gets Saturday & Sunday off work and I have Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays off work. I also work shift work so I am either starting late or finishing earlier & Christian works on 'flexi time' which means he is able to plan his days around the dog sits we do on the Monday - Wednesday to make sure the dogs / cats aren't left along for too long during the day. So between us both, the dogs would have someone around a lot more frequently than a usual 9-5 job.
I work as a Puppy Development Advisor currently and have previously been a Dog Care Specialist for Blind Low Vision (Guide dogs). I am fully comfortable around oral medications and understand that this is sometimes a requirement (I have done both dog & cat sits through Pawshake that have needed this previously, and do this at work every week).
I am very passionate about caring for animals and learning about how they react to different situations and their behaviour. I have also passed an Animal Care course with Unitec.
Pawshake for us is a good way to get our doggie fix and meet lots of different breeds / find out more about them. We come with an abundance of positive references from previous sits over the years, and always treat the animals and house like it's our own, so you can rest assured your pets and home are in safe hands while you're away on your trip.
Aswell as looking after your animals we make sure we take the bins out each week, bring the mail in, strip the bed sheets we've used when we leave, and make sure the house spic and span.
Speak soon! 😊

Always happy to go on holiday knowing Bagel our beagle is with Sophie.
Sophie and Christian have been the absolute best with looking after our little girl, their communication and overall attitude, warmth made us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was safe and having the best time.
I would highly recommend Sophie and will be definitely booking them again for any future trips.
