Hi! I'm Sofia, a 23 year-old animal lover based in the beautiful town of Royal Leamington Spa, where I work full-time as an archivist at a military museum. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, whether that's running, exploring local parks or, of course, walking dogs! I have my own car, which means I'm able to travel around Leamington Spa and the surrounding areas to care for your pets.

I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets has given me a lifelong appreciation for animals, and over the years I've cared for dogs, cats and small pets for family and friends. From energetic puppies to older pets who prefer a slower pace, I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine. I always take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and happy in my care.

Living in Royal Leamington Spa means we're lucky to have some fantastic pet-friendly places to explore. Depending on your dog's routine and preferences, I'm happy to walk them around Jephson Gardens, Victoria Park, Newbold Comyn or other nearby green spaces, making sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment and time to sniff and explore safely.

The reason I became a pet sitter is simple—I genuinely love spending time with animals and know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your beloved pet. When you're away, I want you to feel confident that they're not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for, loved and treated as part of the family.

I currently offer dog walking, home visits and pet sitting in your own home. Dog walks usually last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your dog's age, breed and energy levels. Home visits include feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, litter tray or enclosure cleaning if needed, and administering medication if agreed beforehand. Pet sitting in your home helps your pet stay relaxed by keeping them in familiar surroundings and maintaining their normal routine.

I'm happy to care for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small pets. I know some animals can be nervous around new people, so I always let them approach me in their own time, using a calm, patient and gentle approach to help build trust.

Although I work full-time as an archivist, I'm available during evenings, weekends and selected weekdays depending on my work schedule. I'll always keep you updated with regular messages and photos after every walk, visit or stay, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and receiving plenty of love and attention.

I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide them with the same kindness, care and attention they receive from their own family. I can't wait to meet you both!
