Pet sitting

When going away worrying about your pet is only natural. All animals like a routine and disruption can cause your pet anxiety. Through our pet sitting services you can allow your pets to stay at home enjoying the comfort of familiar sights, sounds and smells. Our visits will ensure that your pet is safe, happy, fed, cuddled and cared for whilst at the same time we can water plants, pick up post and put out the bins. We can tailor our pet services to your specific needs.

For cats:  One or two visits a day, services include, replenishing food and water, cleaning  the feeding area, bowls and litter box. Ensuring your cat is happy, cuddled, played with and cared for.

For dogs: Two or three visits a day, services include walking, refilling food and water, playing with your dog and keeping them company.

For small pets:  We will visit your home as often as you require to ensure your pet is safe, happy, fed, cuddled and cared for. We are experienced with small furries, reptiles and fish. 

Home visits

Home visits are a popular option for those who prefer their dog to stay in a familiar environment; for those with puppies that need frequent attention or for dogs that are unable to go out for walks for any reason.

During a home visit, your dog will of course be fed, watered and taken out to the toilet but will also be given appropriate exercise and plenty of attention and stimulation. We always make sure they have had their fill of cuddles and fun.

As dog owners ourselves we know how important the little things are to your dog’s day, whether it is putting the radio on, filling a Kong or fluffing their bed. We feel privileged to look after your dog and love spending our days with them.

 If your dog needs any special treatment, from brushing to medication just ask!  

Do you have other animals you want services for?

Whether you are planning a holiday or need additional support  with your horse care, I am a knowledgeable horse person happy to muck in! With years of experience owning horses, we know how tricky it can be to find a trustworthy person. Rest assured, we will care for your horse to the highest standard, duties  include feeding, changing rugs, grooming, mucking out stables and picking the fields. We are also experienced with other domesticated farm animals such as, chickens, sheep and goats.

Our Family

My  name is Sophie and I run Sophie’s Paws Outdoors with the help of a small dedicated team. I live with my partner, three children and plenty of furry friends. Having been an animal lover all my life and despite being surrounded by animals at home (dogs, cats, horses, budgies, tortoises, turtles, fish and a corn snake) there’s nothing I’ve wanted more than to work with them too. Having had a varied career, from teaching, to working at the local post office, I’m now able to pursue my dream of working with animals.  As a pet owner myself I realise how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of your pet when you can’t be there. 

Here at Paws Outdoors we are dedicated to the animals entrusted into our care, no job is too big or too small in making sure your pet is happy, safe, loved and fussed.
