Dog Walking
If you’ve recently had a change of job, work long hours or work shifts, you may find that your dog is now alone in the house for longer than you would want. Or an operation, illness or injury may mean that you find yourself unable to provide the exercise you want for your dog. Sophie’s Pet Care Services can provide flexible, fun and reliable dog-walking services for short-term support or long-term help as you and dog want.
Sophie will walk the dog(s) in a local location or park, communicating constantly with the dogs under her watch, and giving positive reinforcement – and treats as rewards for being well behaved!

Cat sitting
Home visits are ideal for animals who prefer to remain in the comfort of their own home whilst you are away. Cats in particular are often much happier cared for in their own environment, but pet sitting is also a very good option for dogs who have been re-homed through rescue organisations, those needing some special care and puppies.
Home visits are an excellent alternative to putting your pet into a cattery or kennels, and can even be more cost effective, especially if you have several pets. Your pet is unique, so the service will be built around their and your needs.
Cat sitting prices:
1 cat 30 min visit: £14
1 cat 1 hour visit: £16

House Sitting Terms & Conditions
What’s Included in Overnight House Sitting
Overnight house sitting includes:
– Overnight stay in your home
– Evening and morning pet care routines
– Feeding, fresh water, medication (if required)
– Walks/litter tray cleaning as agreed
– Daytime presence around my normal working schedule
– Regular updates and photos for peace of mind
As I work remotely, I am often able to spend a good portion of the day at your home provided there is reliable WiFi available.
Daytime Presence & Time Left Alone
The standard overnight house sitting rate does not include guaranteed 24-hour constant presence throughout the day.
This service is best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone for reasonable periods during daytime hours (typically up to 4–6 hours depending on the booking).
If your pet requires:
– More continuous daytime companionship
– Frequent supervision
– Very short periods alone
– Near-constant care
An additional daytime care supplement may apply. This will always be discussed and agreed in advance depending on your pet’s individual needs.
Arrival & Departure Times
House sitting bookings are charged per night and include overnight care plus agreed daytime routines.
Extended arrival or departure times may incur an additional charge where substantial extra daytime care is required.
Meet & Greet
A preliminary meet-and-greet is recommended prior to all new house sitting bookings. This allows us to:
– Go through your pet’s routine and requirements
– Discuss feeding, medication, walks and home routines
– Arrange key collection/return
– Ensure your pet feels comfortable and familiar with me before the booking
Holiday Surcharges
A 20% surcharge applies to bookings over:
Christmas
New Year
Easter
Bank Holidays
Please see the Services & Rates page for applicable dates.
Mileage Charges
Mileage is charged for house sitting bookings outside my local area at £0.75 per mile for journeys to and from your home.
Booking & Availability
Bookings are confirmed once agreed dates and details have been finalised. Availability is limited during peak holiday periods, so early booking is recommended.
Booking Deposit (House Sitting)
To secure all house sitting bookings, a 20% deposit is required at the time of booking confirmation. This deposit is non-refundable and will be deducted from the final balance.
The remaining balance is due by the day before the house sit begins, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
Cameras & Monitoring Devices
External security cameras and doorbell cameras are absolutely fine. However, for privacy reasons, internal cameras, audio recording devices or active indoor monitoring systems are not permitted during overnight house sitting stays.
If any indoor cameras are present, they must be switched off for the duration of the booking.
