Hello! I am a kind, respectful animal-lover and home-owner you can safely rely on to take excellent care of your home and pets so you can relax on a worry-free break!

I am a responsible, clean and mature home-owner, non-smoker and working professional in her mid-thirties. I keep my home organised and very clean and would do the same for yours. I clean as I go and ensure it is spic and span for your arrival. Currently enjoying house-sits whilst remote working to enjoy exploring places across the UK and time with variety of animals. I have been on many-house sits (not all through House Sitters UK) sitting for large properties and their pets for varying lengths of time over the years from 2 nights up to a whole summer.

I provide-
- Full animal care- walks, love and endless attention!
- Can groom, brush, wash your dog/cat, apply medicine and will take care of any medical requirements responsibly
- Can handle dogs, including large dogs, and puppies still learning recall training
- Responsible care of your home- security, locking doors, windows, setting alarms, being home throughout the night etc
- Prompt and regular communication via phone or whatsapp
- Daily updates- photos and activities - if required
- Take telephone calls/messages/organise post any small errands if required
- Indoor and outdoor plant watering - (have had my own garden and have always kept a large no. of indoor houseplants since a child)
- Mowing the lawn if away 1 week+ in the summer months
- Pool/hot-tub care and maintenance
- Happy to get mucky - muck out stables, clean out cages and pick up poo!
- Offer to prepare a welcome back meal for your arrival, unpack any food delivery if ordered in advance for your return!

About me -
I am a working professional in her mid-thirties, I conduct research and evaluation on social policy and global development issues - currently specialising in child protection and child rights work internationally. I can therefore work anywhere with a table & good wi-fi connection. Sometimes I am joined by a friend orfamily member especially for longer-house sits. I will always be transparent about this on the intro call and specific this at the end of this profile.

Fit & Active - I exercise most days and love walking/wild swimming/activities outdoors and generally exploring. I have lived in 4 continents and travelled to close to around 36 countries. Your dogs will get decent walks, lots of play and stimulation from me!

Animal owner - of a very friendly and docile black domestic cat called George who needs my care as he is a senior cat and has a few health conditions. He is very amiable around and other animals and mostly sleeps. He is used to travelling about.

Please get in touch if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you!

Sophia :-)
