Reviews
Sofia was so fantastic in communicating before and during Michigan’s sitting. Felt totally comfortable leaving Michigan with her and giving her total access to my house while away. She even took pictures to check in during the sitting. I highly recommend Sofia to other pet parents. 10/10
Great communication and will be using again. Sofia does a great job
Sofia did an amazing job sitting with our two dogs. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures! We will definitely request her again for future stays!
Sofia is amazing with our dog!! She’s on time and goes above and beyond to make sure he gets the care we need. I’ve recommended her to family because I trust her that much! We will definitely be using her again
