I’m Sophie, I'm in my early 30s and based in Southminster, Essex. I've been looking after pets for friends and family over the last couple of years and want to extend this to help people in my community. I care for animals of all shapes and sizes, from cats and dogs to chickens and budgies! Spending time with animals is something I love, so, looking after your pet would be an enjoyable experience for both me and your pet. I have a calm presence to help your pet feel relaxed and I am reliable, caring and trustworthy. I will treat your animals and home respectfully and keep things tidy. My priority is to make your furry friend feel relaxed, safe and loved in my care. If house sitting, I will not leave your pet for long periods of time, and if required, I can stay at home for the entire sit. I am happy to follow your pets normal routines and give plenty of cuddles and play. I can walk your dog for as long as required and I'm happy to walk a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure your dog gets the care and attention he/she needs. Whilst spending time with your pet, I am happy to complete some tasks such as watering the plants, alongside preparing food and fresh water for your pets, emptying litter trays, tidying pet toys etc. I have experience with larger breeds of dog including Rottweilers and vizslas, as well as smaller dogs such as dachshunds, Jack Russell's and cockapoos. I am happy to look after well behaved dogs of varying breads, as well as cats, rabbits, budgies and other animals. I would prefer to meet you and your pet/s before any pet sitting occurs so we can all be sure it's the right fit and your pet feels comfortable with me. Feel free to send me a message if you would like a chat.
