Pet care experience

Hello! I am a UW graduate student taking classes from home who can provide 1:1 around the clock care to your pup! I have experience with all sizes of dogs for 10+ years. I grew up with two dogs [Goldendoodle and Maltese] and have owned a cat for 3 years! I have experience volunteering at my local animal shelter as a dog walker. Pets have always felt comfortable with me and I am someone who can be a gentle and loving companion to them. I am very active and I would love to take your dog on a hike / long walks are okay.

I highly recommend Sophie! She watched our springer spaniel, Gertie, for a weekend. It was our first time leaving our pup and we couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care of her. Sophie took her for several walks a day, to the off-leash park, and even gave her a bath when she got muddy! We will absolutely continue to book with Sophie whenever she will have us. If you’re a dog parent you know how wonderful it is to have a trusted, kind, and attentive sitter. We are so grateful to Sophie and can’t wait for our next trip—Gertie already misses her!

Sophie was very kind and communicative. She made sure Ollie had plenty of exercise and sent lots of cute pictures so I knew he was being well taken care of. I would definitely have her watch Ollie again!

Sophie is a fantastic host! She kept our golden active with multiple walks/hikes and kept us up-to-date with pics throughout the stay. Our dog loved her time with Sophie!

If boarding with me your pet will rarely be alone! Doggy DayCare Operating Hours [8am - 8pm] = I charge an extra $10 for drop off and pick ups outside this hour. - Provide 2 walks minimum - Play time, fetch, toys - Lots of potty breaks - Cuddles and couch time I operate from two different locations, one is my partners townhouse near Green Lake and the other is my apartment near Ravenna. I rotate between these two places during the week and weekends. I am always the main caretaker in both locations although sometimes my partner likes to hold the leash when we go on walks together. I try to take pets with me wherever I go and I am usually home studying, doing homework or taking classes online. I can provide walks around the Greenlake loop trail, Ravenna park, Burke Gilman Trail, Uvillage, Gasworks etc. I own a cat but he enjoys sleeping in my closet during the day and will not interact with your dog. He has previously been around little dogs such as my Maltese and did not mind her, they both would hangout on my bed together. He is a bit nervous around larger dogs and likes to keep his distance. I am a trustworthy student who will take care of your animals and send updates and photos at your request!
