‘Sophie is a first class dog walker and all round dog lover. Our dog Suki has the best time out with her doggy friends and Sophie always sends us lovely videos of her living her best life!’ - Leigh & Suki (August 2024)

‘Jurassic Bark (Sophie) is simply the best dog walker we have ever had. She knows our springer spaniel so well, looks after her brilliantly, and is very clearly the highlight of our dog’s week! Her termly ‘school reports’ and Instagram posts are also a super-fun way to show us what they have all been up to. Sophie is really highly qualified and cares deeply for the dogs she looks after; I couldn’t recommend her enough!’ - Tim & Beau (August 2024)

‘Rupert appears to enjoy his walks with Sophie and the pack after his initial hesitation and reluctance when Sophie first began walking him. He’s always keen to leave anytime he hears her van, shattered when he returns and looks pretty happy in the pictures and videos shared.

I was a bit skeptical of getting a dog walker but Sophie has so far allayed my scepticism and has for the past year providing a reliable service with clear communication, good prices and a willingness to accommodate both schedule changes and your dogs individual needs.’ - Laura & Rupert (August 2024)

‘My dog LOVES Sophie. He can be a little nervous sometimes but Sophie made the effort to understand him and connect. 100% happy’ - Liz & Sunny (Bristol, November 2023)

‘I can tell by a very waggy tail and pulling on the lead to reach Sophie in her van that my little dog Clootie loves her time with Sophie and her pack. Sophie has been so accommodating by helping to fit in extra walks when required. I would highly recommend Sophie to look after your precious four legged family member.’ - Lynn & Clootie (Bristol, October 2023)

‘Sophie has been walking our dog, Luna, for two years + and has become a key part of our weekly routine! Luna loves her walks, they always go to interesting places and get a proper run around, and it's peace of mind for me knowing she has really decent exercise a couple of times each week. She takes her job seriously, communication is excellent and we have total peace of mind.’ - Lois & Luna (Bristol, October 2023)

‘My two young dogs love their walk with Sophie. They rush to the front door to see her and trot down the path with tails wagging without a backward glance to me Sophie also does super cute termly reports which I love receiving! She also organises weekend group walks for charity and I am booked on a canine first aid course which she has also organised. Cannot recommend her enough!’ - Claire, Toffee & Fudge (Bristol, October 2023)

‘The best dog walking company I have ever used. Flexible around my work commitments and a great valued service. My dog was never a fan of walking and would often sit and refuse to go out, but Becky worked her magic and now there is no stopping my dog on her walks, she enjoys them so much! A big thank you to Jurassic Bark Dogs!’ - Hannah & Daisy (Newbury, April 2023)

‘The highlight of Otto’s week is his walk with Sophie. He sits on the sofa all day waiting for her to walk down the driveway. I can’t recommend Jurassic Bark highly enough – Otto has the time of his life and we know he’s safe.’ - Dan, Imogen & Otto (Bristol, January 2023)

‘Bert has been with Sophie for almost a year now and it’s safe to say he loves her! He waits every morning for her to arrive and is so excited to greet her at the door.
Sophie is so kind and understanding towards his old man terrier tendencies and regularly send me updates. I know Bert is well loved and cared for when he’s out with Sophie and the gang!’ - Emma & Bert (Bristol, December 2022)

My pup has been with her a month now and we couldn't have made a better choice than picking Jurassic Bark Dogs!

Lola and I love Sophie’s services so much!
Thank you xx’ - Jess & Lola (Bristol, December 2022)

‘We're so pleased our lovely Luna can enjoy great walks with a fantastic service. Nothing is too much trouble and you can really feel the duty of care the team takes towards the dogs. There are some touching extras as part of the service that demonstrate the care and attention the team hold. Jurassic Bark are experienced, professional, and personable. Sophie, Katie, Becky and the team are very professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending the service to those seeking a dog walking provider. Katie is our primary dog walker and is amazing. Luna loves her walks and always returns a very happy pup!’ - John & Luna (Newbury, May 2021)

‘Moved to Bristol just before Christmas and Sophie has been amazing with my rescue dog Betsy. Betsy is a nervous dog and Sophie has been really patient with her, she has gone from being a scared dog not wanting to go out to an enthusiastic tail wagger who cant wait to get going whenever she sees Sophie :-). Sophie is brilliant at her job - I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is responsible, reliable, cheerful, organised and most of all the doggies all love her :-).’ - Sarah & Betsy (Bristol, February 2021)

‘We’ve been part of the Jurassic Bark pack for over four years with Sophie and then Katie walking our two dogs, Archie and Piper. Our two love their trips in the van for walks with their pals and we would happily recommend the Jurassic Bark team. Katie clearly adores our dogs which is great to see; they get 5 star treatment and we’ve every confidence in her. We’ve always been impressed by Sophie's ethical, efficient and customer focused approach to running her business, never more so than during this last year. Communication and information also great whether it’s about weather, walks to try out or the latest government guidance. Well done!’ - Catriona, Tom, Archie & Piper (Newbury, February 2021)

‘Jurassic Bark Dog Walking service is fantastic! Sophie has been amazing with our puppy Pippa, is super reliable, very knowledgeable and continues to provide us with much needed advice as first time dog owners!

Whilst being at university, and my partner working full time, Sophie has been brilliant and I couldn't recommend her enough!! xx’ - Izzy, Jack & Pippa (Bristol, February 2021)

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for people who will truly look after after your 4 legged family member.’ - Simon, Kate & Bella (Newbury, February 2021)

‘Lovely dog walking service - professional, friendly and flexible. Lots of advice too from the really knowledgable walker as I’m a first time dog owner. Milo loves his walks and can never get out of the door quick enough....he always comes back tired which is also a bonus. Cannot recommend highly enough and once old enough Milo looks forward to the group walks!’ - Carolyn & Milo (Newbury, January 2021)

‘Sophie and her team are fantastic; they have a great understanding of dogs and all clearly love their work. My dog Jesse always looks so happy in the photos that get posted on a Friday showing all the dogs on their outings! I particularly like that on a muddy day Jesse gets properly dried off before being allowed back in the house. I wouldn't go anywhere else!’ - Tanya, Daniel & Jesse (Newbury, December 2020)

We started our puppy as soon as she was old enough and walking with Jurassic Bark has been great - she’s super sociable with other dogs and listens well to commands. She is always really excited to go out for her walks. Highly recommended.’ Beverley, Rob & Maggie (March 2020)

‘When I moved to the area I was recommended Sophie at Jurassic Bark by my previous dog walker. Sophie runs an excellent service, she is extremely professional, extremely personable and she is flexible when called upon, nothing is ever a problem.

She has been walking my dog Finn daily for nearly 3 years and he loves seeing her and his dog buddies. Sophie runs monthly charity dog walks which is great for the owners to meet other dog owners along with raising money for great causes and giving back to the community. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sophie and her business to anyone looking for a dependable and conscientious dog walker who loves your dog just as much as you do.’ Sylvia, Sunny & Finn (March 2020)

‘We are fairly new in Newbury having only moved here about 3 months ago. We were worried about our 4-year-old beagle as I started a new job and would have less time to be with Lily during the day. Fortunately, we found Sophie and we could not be happier with her. Lily loves going on walks with her and the other dogs, we can really tell she's had a good time because she is exhausted when we come back from work! Lily is also over the moon any time she sees Sophie or her car! We would definitely recommend Sophie to anyone who needs help with their dogs! I can also say that Sophie is extremely professional. Thank you, Sophie, we are extremely grateful for everything you do for Lily!!! All the best.’ Laura, Eloi & Lily (October 2019)

‘Sophie has been walking our Boxer George for 2 years now and it's the best choice we ever made for him. Sophie treats all her dogs like her own and nothing is too much trouble, she will go out of her way to be flexible and helpful with any problems and we know we can trust her completely. George loves the ride in Sophie's van especially when hot with the air con.
He also loves the pack walks for charity that Sophie organises each month and we try to go on as many as we can, it's such a great idea and for a good cause, also George loves the yummy biscuit treats after!!
We would highly recommend Sophie to anyone, she clearly loves all her dogosaurs and would like to wish her well with the growing business, she deserves it after all the hard work. Thank you Sophie.’ Sharon, Terry & George (January 2019)

‘Sophie has been walking my dogs for almost 2 years now. We cannot fault her. my bulldog doesn't like the hot weather and Sophie has gone out of her way to accommodate him - taking him for evening swims or taking him to sit with her Dad while walking the other dog. they absolutely love her - especially when she gives them home made dog biscuits on their birthday!
Sophie is reliable, flexible and has the kindest nature. I would definitely recommend Jurassic Bark.’ - Nicola, Dorian, Humphrey & Tilly (January 2019)

‘Sophie is a wonderful, very professional dog enthusiast and I trust her completely with my very playful goldendoodle! I always go to her for all my doggie needs and questions.’ Vickie & Dudley (November 2018)

‘Sophie has been walking my 2 dogs for 9 months and they love her!!! They always come back happy and tired after their walk and that is what I want. They go on some amazing walks in any weather!!! Would I recommend Jurassic Bark? Absolutely I would! We are looking to move house and I am determined to stay in Sophie's area to ensure I keep her as my dog walker.’ - Emma, Rosie & Martha (September 2018)

'Sophie has been walking my very excitable German Shepherd for the past few months now on a pack walk and he absolutely loves it. She always ensures she matches him with other dogs who will enjoy lots of play also. She's extremely professional and fantastic with the dogs. I'd highly recommend.' - Rachel & Grifton (October 2017)

'Sophie is just brilliant! Our dog Widget is a rather nervy Lurcher but she handles him with complete confidence and we have absolute trust in her capability to walk him. He clearly adores her! If ever we meet in a different setting his tail doesn't stop wagging and he's delighted to see her! Prime example today, the Jurassic Bark Egg Hunt at Northcroft Park. So well organised (as always!) and a great time had by all the dogs, owners and children who attended. I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough. Her attention to detail is second to none and she clearly adores and has a great relationship with our canine friends. Thank you Sophie!' - Martyn, Michelle & Widget (April 2017)

'My husband and I were really ill with the flu and could not walk our Flat Coated Retriever, Toby. But thank God for Sophie because she stepped right in and took him out for us on 3 consecutive days. He is a big bouncy dog, but Sophie handles him with confidence. He came back each day happy and tired so that we can get our rest! Sophie has a natural gift as well as a deep understanding with dogs. They just respect, trust and have fun with her. We know we can rest assured that Toby is in good hands with her.' - Andrew, Lisa & Toby (December 2016)
