Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I prioritize providing care in your home where they feel most comfortable. I can handle everything from walks, playtime, and feeding to crate training if needed. If your dog enjoys socializing, I’m happy to gradually introduce them to my own dogs for companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Information Sofia a. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care for your pet, I’d love to know: • Their daily routine (feeding, walking, playtime, etc.) • Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications • Behavioral traits (shyness, aggression, or quirks) • How they interact with other pets or people • Training or commands they know • Emergency contacts, including your vet's information. The more I know about your pet, the more personalized and attentive I can make their care!

A typical day

A typical day is full of love, play, and care! I usually start the day with a morning walk to get their energy out and enjoy some fresh air. If it's a dog, we might play fetch. For cat's or small pets, I’ll give them some morning cuddles, fresh food, and maybe some interactive toy time.

Loving & reliable care for your pet

Pet care experience

I bring 7+ years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs of all sizes, backed by two professional training courses. I've raised and trained four dogs, including my current French Bulldog and Belgian Shepherd, giving me insight into diverse breeds and their unique needs. My skills include puppy training, managing high-energy breeds, and providing personalized care. With me, your pet is not only safe but nurtured and understood.

Sofia did an excellent job with our 2 dogs. She came out on an emergency for the night shift while we were away. I have one handicapped pitbull and a 1 yr old jack Russel terrier who quickly warmed up to Sofia. Thank you again 🙏

Sofia is always there for me when I need her! It’s so refreshing to know that I have someone reliable to depend on AND that my dog loves. ❤️❤️

Sofia took care of Mia for 5 days. She sent regular updates and followed my many instructions. Mia was happy and healthy when I returned. Thank you so much, Sofia.

Sofia stayed over with Mia for the second time, and Mia was once again happy and healthy when I arrived home. Thank you so much, Sofia!
