Animal Sciences Degree- Dog Person
Pet care experience
Hi there. My name is Sofia and I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with a Bachelor’s in Animal Sciences. I have always had a dog in my house, so I have experience training them. I have been a dog sitter for family and friends the last 12 years. This included walks, socialization, boarding, and feeding. I also was a dog walker and animal care intern at the Humane Society. This included socialization, walks, cleaning, and light training. I interned at Jodie Vee's Dog Training facility and thus improved my training abilities. I currently volunteer weekly at a shelter veterinary clinic. I have had a lot of experience with a wide array or sizes and multiple dogs at a time. If you would like to book for Friday to Sunday just shoot me a message! I have some flexibility. Thanks!
Reviews
Sofia is a god send and a dog whisperer. My dog had a stranger danger freak out and she was able to calm her. It took some time and treats and she stuck with it. Sofia you rock! Thank you thank you!
Sofia was great. Rudy seemed very happy when we got home and even knew a new trick! I would definitely recommend.
Thanks Sofia! It was great that you kept in touch with me the whole time and took my dog for a nice walk and played with her afterwards! She really was happy when I got home and appreciated the mid day treat of a walk!
Mango and pillow had a two nights stay with Sofia while my bf and I went to Chicago. She sent me pictures every day to let me know how they are doing. Both of the doggies had a great time with her

Information Sofia A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any reactivity or special needs prior to drop ins or walks. Also if there is anything you would like me to keep an eye out for I will! Ex: limp, wound healing, fecal characteristics
A typical day
I like to play with the pup a bit when I first get in for them to get comfortable with me before we go for a walk. I let them get all the smells before returning them back home and making sure they have water available.
