Pet care is a fundamental part of my daily routine. I walk our senior family dog at least once a day, typically in the morning or midday, and again in the evening or at night. These walks help ensure he gets regular exercise and companionship, fitting seamlessly into my daily schedule.

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I walk our family’s senior dog daily, taking him through the neighborhood parks and on beach walks at Crissy Field. I also walk my aunt’s golden when I visit and have experience walking a neighbor’s small dog when they were out of town. I have fostering experience, having cared for a two year old German Shepherd for two months. During that time, I took her on daily walks, administered her medicine, and helped her socialize with other dogs. I also fostered a nine week old puppy for two weeks, providing weekly baths with her special shampoo to address her skin condition. My background includes caring for dogs at different life stages and handling special needs, making me a reliable and compassionate caregiver for your furry family members.

Sofia always goes above and beyond with our dog Millie! She always makes sure she uses the bathroom and eats while we’re at work. We’re so appreciative to have her care!

Booked Sofia again, this time for a drop-in visit, and she was just as wonderful as before! She was incredibly patient and attentive with Ayiana, my 15-year-old senior dog, and completed every task I asked of her without hesitation. It's not easy to find someone you truly trust with an older pup, but Sofia has absolutely earned that trust. Highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience!

Sofia was absolutely wonderful with my 15-year-old dog, Ayiana, and gave me such peace of mind during her stay. Ayiana is fully deaf and needs a little extra gentleness and patience at this stage of her life as she doesn't move as quickly as she used to and can only handle shorter walks. Sofia handled all of that with such care. She made sure to take Ayiana on walks at her own pace, never rushing her. What made the match feel extra special is that Sofia's family has a dog around the same age, so Ayiana was in the company of someone who truly understands senior dog life. Having a yard was also a big bonus, Ayiana got to enjoy plenty of outdoor time without having to travel far, which is perfect for her. I would not hesitate to book with Sofia again. She is exactly the kind of sitter you hope to find for a senior pup who deserves thoughtful, loving care.
