My summer research is quite flexible, so I have plenty of time now to pop in during business hours. During the school year, we regularly have half days, and I would be free to come by as well. Happy to study around your dogs and cats when they're settled as well :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small apartment shared with my fiancé, Devin, who works in administration at a K-8 school. Our complex is very dog-friendly with large grassy areas for play. We can help out with short stays here as needed. Separately, while in your home, you can expect clear and timely communication from me with plenty of photos throughout the day. While sitting, I like to mix in play, enrichment, and care to ensure that your pet has a positive sitting experience.

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm a second-year medical student looking for time to cuddle your pet! I've had cats and dogs for the past 16 years and have always helped care for friends/family's pets. I'm passionate about early training in young pets specifically, and would love to support your regimen. I'm comfortable with all sizes of dogs, and understand how to work with the most-shy of cats. My school schedule is quite flexible, and much of my work in the summer is remote, so I would love the opportunity to play, walk, train, and cuddle

Sofia took wonderful care of my cat while I was away! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure he was well fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was obvious from every update that he was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend!

Whenever I go out of town, I always call Sofia to care for my animals. She’s reliable, follows my instructions, is always quick to reach, and does daily check ins. My cats can be quite shy, but when they see Sofia they’re always happy and excited! She is kind and gentle. It’s nice having a peace of mind while I’m away. I highly recommend her to care for your animals as well.

Sofie is a great pet owner since I’ve known her she took care of her parents 2 small dogs very well, she prioritized her roommates cat in college taking extra care when needed and with my own dog and cats she has been there to pet sit, take care of when I was away and give them the care they deserve.
