Sophie has walked Alfie for 4 months now and I am vey confident that he is being very well looked after whenever he is in her care. Sophie researched the area and found parks where she could take him to play with other dogs whilst in a safe environment. She always arrives on time and has never let me down. Alfie loves her and can't wait to see her every morning. Ann Tilley

Sophie is an excellent dog walker and boarder. From the human point of view she is punctual, friendly and responsible toward people and the pets she cares for. Her rates are very reasonable and her walks inevitably extend past the officially allotted time. It is also apparent that she develops strong bonds with the dogs that she walks: Mungo waits for Sophie by the window and excitedly runs to meet her at the door as soon as he sees or hears her approach. I have also been pleased to note that Sophie tailors her care to the individual needs and characters of the different dogs that she walks - social dog walks where appropriate and one-to-one walks for dogs that thrive on more individual, human attention. Obviously, a happy and well-exercised dog makes for happy and satisfied owners and we have found Sophie to be a great help for busy workdays and for boarding when we're away on non-dog travels. We are very happy to recommend Sophie's dog-caring services. Kirsti Blom
