Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for pets is more than a job.
Since I was a young girl I was always the family remember in charge of making sure our pets were fed, entertained, trained and given exercise. Around the age of 10 was my first time watching over our neighbors new puppy as they went on vacation. At the time I was nervous but my energetic energy matched the puppy perfectly. Currently i’m renting an apartment at my college UNH with my cat and a roommate. My neighbors who have pets continuously asked me to watch them because of how much time and energy I put into carrying for them. Sometimes I only watch them for the day when work or school takes over and other for extended periods of time. If this becomes the case I make sure to walk and entertained the pet so that they don’t feel lonely. Cat sitting in house is my most common form of cat sitting. Cats and dogs have very different needs from a sitter that I can provide with my years of experience working and owning my own pets

Safety, trust & environment
If there is a fenced in yard or not, I still plan to take pups on daily leash walks to ensure safety of the both of us. Ultimately whatever the client feels most comfortable and confident with I will ensure to use those methods. This can include crate use, specific walk routes, specific animal preferences and more.
Ratings and reviews
Sofia is wonderful and I trust her 100% with my little Merlin!
Sofia was great with our pets! She took our dog for a long walk, cleaned up after our cats, and fed them all. We all think she’s great!
Sofia was great with Riley and in a very short time he gave her his seal of approval; sleeping on her bed. She was reliable and flexible.
Sofia was absolutely amazing and took such great care of our girl Ivy. She was super respectful of our home and very responsive. I would recommend her to anyone looking for long or short term dog care.
Sofia did a wonderful job caring for our personable cat and elderly high-maintenance little dog in our home. She was punctual, asked great questions, and hit that sweet spot of keeping us comfortably informed about how things were going back home without bombarding us with too many updates. We returned home to two content pets who were happy to see us and a house that looked pretty much exactly as we had left it. Our dog, especially, has developed pretty severe separation anxiety as she ages and she was in GREAT spirits when we came home. We hope to book Sofia again in the future...in fact, we might even schedule our next travel plans around her availability.
Winnie had such a great visit!!! Thank you :)

Schedule
I go to school at UNH, and I have courses Monday- Thursday. To ensure that I have room to study, I prefer to do sitting bookings on the weekend. With my classes, there will need to be flexibility with me needing to leave for extended periods of time. Most of my classes are between 1.5 - 4 hours and are mostly in the evening. I do also have my own cat who I need to feed every morning and night. Other than those restrictions, I will spend as much time with your fur baby(s) as possible!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDogs over 1 year oldSofia can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- If your dog or cat has any odd/ interesting behaviors or medications, let me know ahead of time so I can work out a routine that works best for their comfort.
