I'm a student with lots of breaks between my classes meaning I’m usually only gone for less than two hours and I have lots of free time on the weekends. Max I’ll be gone is four hours, but that rarely happens.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is very friendly and energetic, but also knows when a dog doesn’t want to play. She’s very silly and loves to sleep! I live near the lake and can take your dog out often as there’s a nice trail along the lake and campus is pedestrian friendly. I live in an apartment, so I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable in a quieter environment. Since I share walls with neighbors, I’m best suited for dogs who aren’t big barkers. That being said, I love dogs with a personality! A little energy and playfulness is totally welcome, I just ask that barking is kept to a minimum. Dogs are allowed to free roam around the apartment whether I’m with them or gone. If your puppy has energy to burn but knows when to settle down, we’ll get along great! In your own home I will take on any type of dog with any energy level! I will make sure to care for your dog while you are away just as you care for them while you’re in your house. A dogs safety and their comfort are a top priority for me! I also have a fenced in patio with dog grass if your pup needs a quick potty break!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs. We'll play tug-o-war, I'll give them treats, and take them on long walks to stimulate them while they're with me not matter the weather. Whatever makes your pet my comfortable is what I will do to make the day more fun for them! I always provide updates with my services so you can be assured they’re taken care of! I have a fenced in patio with dog grass if your dog just needs a quick potty break!

I love all dogs like they're my own

Pet care experience

I've had dogs ever since I was a little kid and would do anything for them. I've also worked with dogs for the past 2 years. I have a Rat Terrier of my own and will make sure to treat your dog like they're my own. I’m used to all kinds of dogs whether it be age, energy level, or condition as I’ve had a mix of all at my job and growing up!

Sofi was patient and caring for my dog. My dog warmed up to Sofi more and more each drop in visit. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pictures. Very reliable!

Sofi was wonderful with our dog, Hazel! She sent plenty of photo updates throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Hazel came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Sofi and would absolutely trust her to watch Hazel again!
