About Sophie
I’m an animal lover who offers dog walking, live-in pet sitting, and home stays — whatever works best for you and your pet.
I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs, so you can trust your furry family member is in safe, caring hands. I work from home, which means pets get lots of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. There is usually always someone at home and, if I do head out, dogs are generally not left alone for more than 1–2 hours.
I share my home with my own dog — a sweet, laid-back 16-year-old Westie cross Fox Terrier — so visiting pets often have a calm, friendly companion to settle in with. My property is fully fenced, and dogs are welcome both inside and outside depending on what they’re used to at home. I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible.
We do at least one relaxed 20-minute walk or “dawdle” each day, but I’m happy to adjust exercise levels depending on your dog’s age, energy, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower pace and cuddles, I tailor my care to suit them.
I’m attentive, reliable, and confident handling day-to-day pet care, including feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping a close eye on pets if they’re anxious, elderly, or need extra support. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel reassured your pet is happy and well cared for.
Most importantly, I genuinely love what I do — your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be doted on!
