About Sophie
Currently taking bookings for regular dog walks 🐾
DBS checked & full clean driving license!
Growing up with German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, I’ve spent my life understanding the needs of larger breeds. Having recently moved from Ireland to the UK, I’m currently without a dog of my own, so I am eager to provide high-quality care and companionship to yours🐾 My experience is extensive, including raising two rescue dogs and sitting for various breeds, from high-energy Collies to powerful Rottweilers. I am very comfortable with nervous temperaments and am fully capable of following strict medical routines if required.
Alongside doggies, I have extensive experience with cats & smaller animals too.
Daily Routine & Exercise
Currently, I work full time, but it won't stop me working my schedule around your needs! Happy to commute from your house or workplace, I'm very flexible overall despite my job commitments.
I can provide a structured day with at 60-120 minute walks, or longer, tailored to your dog’s fitness level—whether that’s a local stroll or a longer hike. I love getting out into woods & parks, with your permission I can take your pet on a short drive to get them out into nature, like Rivelin Valley, as I am still exploring South Yorkshire myself, it's nice to have company 😊
If you are looking for house sits, I am happy to change my schedule and commute to work from your home.
Please message me if you have any queries!
Home Environment & Safety
I have a shy indoor cat, if your dog is cat friendly, please reach out for boarding queries.
I am a car owner with a clean license, so I am always prepared for emergencies or urgent vet visits.
Safety is a priority with your pet, seatbelt-safe car, fresh water & healthy treats, I will always adapt my walk to your pets needs, and I am capable of avoiding interaction with other dogs or people if your pet is reactive. I have exp with training too, if you ever need an extra hand ( or paw🐾)
Trust & Communication
I am "always on my phone" and love taking photos, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your best friend is having a great time!
