About: I absolutely love animals! I have taken care of various sorts of pets including hamsters, dogs, cats, fishes and birds. I have been involved in animal rescue and foster work. I love taking care of them ❤️ I own a Persian cat and four fishes, I look after them like they are my own kids. I have plenty of experience when it comes to taking care of cats, dogs, birds, and fishes. Your pet will feel at home when staying with me, I will make sure to love them like my own and play with them and look after them sincerely.
“Sophia is so wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter to take care of our kitty and birds. She obviously cares about the animals, and she's great about pictures and communication. We'll definitely be asking her to petsit during future trips!”
About: I have over 20 years of caring for animals of all kinds. I am very personal, caring, and will treat your animal with the love they deserve. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I can walk your dog in the morning and play with them until I leave for work. After work we can play and enjoy what new outside adventures have in store! I have the ability to come to your home if that’s your preference. I am very schedule friendly. I have a big common area and a large park with a dog area. I’m close to a walking path or can just stay in home and play. I am very responsible and have over 20 years of experience. I have two daughters 11,8 that could help as well. They love animals.
About: I have always grown up with dogs, cats, and many other furry and scaly animals in my homes. Usually multiple at the same time! I do extensive research to make sure my pets get the best care they could have. I am also in college to be a veterinarian to further my knowledge. I am currently working for some delivery apps, so I will always be driving around on most days, during the day and when the sun starts to go down. It would be awesome to work the day, and stop by a few times to get my pet fix. Extra bonus if I would watch overnight when it starts to get dark! Saturday night and Sunday day is for family. I am currently doing some research on dog training/care, as I am getting my own dog in the summer! All my other pets are in great health. In your own home, I assure to be patient and use problem solving skills to meet the needs of your fur baby! I am also great at communication, so I will always keep you in the loop:)
