Hi I'm Sophie! I love animals and have lots of experience with dogs, birds, chooks, horses, cows and fish - some pets I have had throughout my life and some animals I have taken care of on my cousins farm. I offer pet boarding in our home, dog walking and home visits to feed/walk/check on your pet.
We are a family with mum, dad, two daughters (one who wants to be a vet when older) who are very active and love the outdoors. We also have our own furbaby - a beautiful 3 year old female Bullmastiff cross, a medium sized dog who is very friendly, placid, obedient and fun! She loves playing fetch, going for lots of walks, great with children and other dogs.
Your pet will need to be family friendly, good with kids and other dogs as well as fully vaccinated & tick/flea treated to keep our dog and all animal visitors healthy. I take our dog on daily walks and as a family often go to the off-leash enclosed parks for dogs in our area, as well as the dog beach at the Spit. We have a small fully fenced backyard with lots of shade from the trees and undercover patio. We recommend a meet and greet first to ensure your pet is safely secured and feels comfortable with us.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Very happy with Sophie. She made sure my babies were fine, cleaned and fed, and she also played with them a bit while here. She sent me photos to show me their cute faces.
Will definitely book her again next time we'll be going away.
Definitely recommend Sophie. My dogs loved her the moment they saw her and I knew they would be in good hands! Nothing was too much trouble and I received daily photographic updates which confirmed that they were happy, getting their daily walks and it was "doggie business as usual". They received lots of cuddles and attention from both Sophie and her little daughter, Holly. Will definitely call Sophie when I need somebody to look after my two little dogs!
While growing up, my family and I would take care of our cousin's farm while they went on holidays, so I also have experience with cattle, horses, chickens, sheep and goats.
