Freelance Artist - home all day!

Pet care experience

I'm flexible with pricing! For example, if you’re planning a trip and need boarding or drop-in visits for several consecutive nights, I’m happy to negotiate. 🐾 Freelance artist who works from home and walks/boards with Rover. 🐾 Experience with breeds both large and small. 🐾 Currently own no pets and for this reason welcome boarding requests. 🐾 Medium-large backyard with a tie-out cable for dogs up to 100 lbs. (If I’m not at my computer, I’m likely in my garden!) 🐾 Experience caring for elderly dogs and administering medication / adhering to specific dietary needs. 🐾 Patient and organized, I have plenty of room, experience & love for all 4-legged friends! Hi! I'm a freelance artist who’s home at my desk every day. I’m both neighbor’s and friend’s go-to pet sitter. Before moving to Westbrook I worked a part-time dog walking job in Portland, OR. I welcome the opportunity to split up my hours of desk work with some (always needed) animal therapy. I grew up with a full-sized Doberman and am very accustomed to taking care of large breeds. I have experience with Pitbulls, Portuguese Water Dogs, Catahoula Leopard Dogs, along with dogs & cats of just about every size and temperament. I take care of one of my neighbors 2 cats while he’s traveling in his home. I’m very patient and loving and can be relied on to follow strict instructions. If your pet requires medication, bathing, or any special treatment please let me know, I’m confident in my ability to take on any special instructions.

Sofia was great! Our dog had a great few days with her and she even gave him a bath. When we picked him up he was relaxed and she updated us with occasional pictures of him during our trip. 10/10 recommend her services!

Sofia cares for my two dogs (Doberman and Catahoula Hound) on the weekends when my fiancé and I are out of town. Sofia is wonderful! My dobe is aging and Sofia is extremely sensitive to Lucy's age and limitations but still manages to provide her with moderate exercise and lots of love. My Catahoula is under one year and Sofia runs her and follows through on the training work in progress when she is caring for Tululah. Sofia's love for animals is apparent from the moment you meet her and my dog's response to her presence is truly a blessing for us. I could not ask for a more reliable, trustworthy person to care for my pets.

Sof is really great with large dog breeds. Her parents have always owned full-sized doberman and she does great with them. She’s very affectionate and loving.

Sofia is my neighbor and she works from home full-time, which is an excellent situation for her to provide full attention to your pups/cats. Her apartment is very comfortable and she always has a little stash of pet toys for visitors. She’s been very trustworthy and reliable with my cat, and has been great with the other neighbor’s dogs as well!
